Photograph of big Tiger ruck-man Baden Harper palming the ball to his rover as west Perth’s Ben Jager is completely out of position.  The story is in the form of an interview between Harper and Garry Stock’s of Westside Football.

Harper details his first attempt to play league for Claremont and returning home to Albany after being struck by illness.  He returned to Claremont in 1979 after captaining his team in the Albany league and returned to the WAFL as one of the best big man in the competition.  He was part of the 1981 Claremont Premiership team and represented Western Australia.
