For those who did not have the pleasure of playing with former Coach, Dave McCormick, the similarities in playing styles between our dogged but dapper former treasurer were uncanny. Had more twists and turns than Rene Rivkin but Rene never rose to the heights of Chris in respect of blatant Club embezzlement. Holds the record of longest kick in a match for the Club, when ala Peter Hudson at the Glenferrie Oval one Saturday booted the living suitcase through the goals and the ball landed in Carriage 4 bound for Flinders Street. Narrowly escaped loosing his head/decapitation when a slightly euphoric VB capsule was hurled from a former drunken President's hands after the Premiership against Yarra Valley. Very humble and dutiful at holding the finances together when funds were very short. Often seen cruising Ferntree Gully Road in his 'Peter Fonda' outfit with a strong and often turbocharged piece of metal between his legs - and sometimes a motorbike also.
