Yep, I is indeed George Reid. There is an extraordinary marble bust of him in the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, but unfortunately no pic of it I could find online.

Thanks Doc,
He was known as Yes -No Reid because of his changing position on Federation at the time.
Question- Who am I
I was the greatest of them all at my position on the field. There was a terrifying picture of me in the papers at the time which summed up my style.

It is widely accepted that no one will ever surpass my feats on the field of play. I was a massive scary person.

Doc, Bumper was big and scary but the fellow we seek is from more recent times. He was however from the right city.
There a few more clues.

Doc your still a great player of this game.
Yes it is Plugger Lockett. A mean machine who holds to this day the record Goal Kicking ever in the AFL.
Over to you mate, well done.

Maybe an easy one, but let's keep it going.
I had two careers, in part simultaneously, and was famous (if not notorious) in both of them.
Loved by many and hated by many others.
