And at Visy Park on June 26, two of the Blues’ all-time great backmen return to the scene of past triumphs, to reflect on their hallowed careers at “The Great Defenders” Luncheon.
Both products of the Bendigo League and both dual Carlton Premiership players, Southby and Dean were glorious exponents of their craft through 416 matches over 29 seasons collectively.
