Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2088337, member: 1828"] I don't agree that DeVere falls into the same category as Kelly, Perry, Carlaw et al. He certainly wasn't the type of player that would get the crowd on their feet, but that wasn't his role in the side. He wasn't one dimensional like some of the others, but he did excell in areas that could be said to be less prettier aspects of the game from a spectators point of view. His defence was more than outstanding at times and I can still recall there being many occassions where he simply saved out arses through his effective, relentless tackling and his ability to read the play and direct the blokes either side of him. Another point to consider is the type and quality of players around him during most of his career. The type of player who complimented quite well the more talked about blokes around him. I have a lot of satisfying memories of DeVere's achievements for us and there's plenty of others who regarded him as nothing less than an asset to the team. Can the same be said for Kelly, Meyers and co? [/QUOTE]
