Bio
Originally recruited from Mooroopna, Dave Honybun was a journeyman ruckman whose career was defined by persistence across three clubs before finding stability at Richmond. After struggling to break into a powerful Carlton lineup and spending a brief, singular season at North Melbourne, Honybun arrived at Punt Road in 1988 where he became a regular fixture in the senior side. Standing 198cm, he was a mobile big man capable of resting forward to hit the scoreboard, providing valuable structure during a financially turbulent and performance-poor era for the Tigers. Despite playing 60 career games, he is perhaps most vividly remembered by football tragic for a moment that ultimately counted for nothing; in Round 6, 1988, he appeared to kick a match-winning goal after the siren against his former side North Melbourne, only for the umpire to disallow the score due to a controversial free kick paid against teammate Robbie Sarau moments earlier.
