Richard "Dick" Condon (19 March 1876 — 27 December 1946) was a highly controversial, exceptionally brilliant champion Australian rules footballer who played in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) and the Victorian Football League (VFL) from 1894 to 1909. ==Talent== Condon was a highly skilled player, a wiry and tenacious man of greater than average height (5'11"; 180 cm), with great speed, brilliant evasive skills, and an outstanding capacity for reading a game. He played mainly as a "follower" (see Early VFL Final systems#The 1897 VFL Premiership). He is widely credited as the man who contributed the most to the development of the stab-kick which (once the specially designed "blunter" Sherrin Match II football was introduced into the VFL) became the central feature of the Collingwood football team's pattern of play. An 18 August 1905 newspaper report, referring to him as "that fiery football genius Dick Condon", described his coaching style as a "combination of brimstone oratory and skilful () tactics".〔Ross, (1996), p.60.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dick Condon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
