	Subiaco (2)
		The tenacious and battle-hardened Smith, who had played well over 200 VFL games in 12 seasons as well as winning a Brownlow Medal, brought to the club not only an augmentation of Bunton's coaching philosophies, but also a formidable, and at times decisive, on field presence.
		He was also the first ever winner of the Sandover Medal, which the WAFL introduced in 1921 to reward its fairest and most brilliant player each season.
		As a player, he may have lacked his father's poise, pace, elegance and flair, but a Sandover Medal win in 1962 and regular interstate appearances for both South Australia and Western Australia proved he was a more than capable footballer.

	Sturt
		This was the last of Murphy's 204 games for Sturt in a career which began in 1962 and which also took in 5 interstate matches for South Australia and 4 seasons and 58 VFL matches with South Melbourne.
		Sturt showed measurable improvement in 1963, winning 10 out of 20 matches for the season to finish 6th.
		Football Club's position had never seemed so secure, but the next two decades were to demonstrate that no club can afford to rest on its laurels when it comes to maintaining a position of pre-eminence in the cut-throat world of Australian football.
