Online comment from Darren (EDITOR of ABORIGINAL FOOTBALL, 29 June 2012): "This kinda sticks with me because as a youngster Rhett Baynes came to visit our footy club in our small country town in north-west WA and I was overawed that here was a WAFL player in our midst, I remember us kids sitting around just talking footy with him, then later I hear he's died" [by personal email].
