"The Strauchanie story is unfinished. It's like the Never Ending Story, it will keep going until Strauchanie flies away on a magical flying dog carrying six Premiership Cups and a couple of Brownlow's"

"Football is 90% mental and 20% physical"

"If somebody says to you that "you can't do something", don't believe them... unless it's standing up in a ferris wheel, that's actually quite dangerous"

"Is Strauchanie the greatest player of all time? That's not for me to say. What I will say is "I don't think there has been anyone greater"

"To play alongside blokes like Nathan Buckley, Paul Licuria, Anthony Rocca, James Clement was a huge honour for Strauchanie. I can only imagine what it was like for them to play alongside me"

"Bucks once said to me when nobody else was around and nobody else could hear; he said 'Strauchanie, you are the best player I have ever seen. I don't deserve my Brownlow; you should have won it'... You can quote him on that"
