1993, July 6, Western Australian newspaper, Story and Photo of Brendan Green with the ball and attempting to evade Subiaco’s Bret Hutchinson. The story with this is headlines ” Kickett settles into new role”. Claremont firebrand Dale Kickett believes he may have been playing at the wrong end of the ground for most of his career. After spending most of his career in the forward line he has been moved in defence and on Saturday was one of the prime movers in Claremont’s 11 point win over Subiaco.
Tigers coach Gerard Neesham was tired of Dale Kickett being tagged week after week thought he would reverse the role. The former West Coast eagle, Fitzroy and St Kilda player has responded with some of the most disciplined football of his career. He has teamed with Darrell Panizza and Daniel Southern to form a tight defensive unit. Clinton Wolf exerted a big influence on the ground for the second consecutive week and it was noticable that when he went off injured in the third uarter Subiaco improved and fought back.
