    Terry Wheeler: goal umpire

    I was searching on YouTube for a bit hit Terry Wheeler took Jezza out with one day at western oval but I found this instead. Anyone remember it?

    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    Yes I was there, but had forgotten it happened. Very funny.

    Wasn’t a good year 1982 for us looking at AFL tables. Only 3 wins and we got the spoon.

    Is that the old Waverly Park?

    Yep Waverley Park. We lost this game by 2 points. According to this it looks like Doug Hawkins missed this game.

    The only season when a club conceded 200 points in a match twice and we also conceded 190 points twice.

    Then Bluey Hampshire takes over when Royce Hart gets the sack and we imporove a little to the extent we beat Hawthorn and Geelong but then we fall away again and start getting thumped again.

    But 1983 is the start of a new age for us. Off the top of my head we have made finals in 15 of the 36 years since and won a flag, that's not a bad record when you consider some of the coaches we've had in that time (*cough* Peter Rhode.)

    Digressing slightly, a bloke turned up at work last week to do a fire safety exit audit and after a few minutes I twigged it was actually ex-Richmond player Bryan Wood.

    As he was leaving I mentioned I might've had an old footy card of his to wit he laughed his head off before asking who I barracked for. The reply "Ohh the Doggies, don't mind the Doggies, except for that f**cken mongrel back pocket, broke my bloody nose one day."

    We spent several minutes trying to figure out which mongrel back pocket of ours was capable of such a deed before he finally yells out "WHEELER! That's the bastard!".

    Oh how we laughed.

    He was lucky it was only his nose that was broken. If Terry had played to his strength Wood's testicles would still be hurting.

    There was a reason Terry Wheeler made the most tribunal appearances as the victim of the report. It was much the same reason his nickname was Squirrel grip.

    Versus St Kilda on Hawkins wing, Cowboy Neal gets a head of steam up and is bouncing the ball, his legs pumping his barrel chest along.
    Wheeler lines him up with a fully committed shirt front

    and bounces off him, Cowboy didn't break stride!
    I was flabbergasted.

    Good talk back fodder these days. Lyon and Cornes would be tut tutting that all morning on SEN, "the coaches won't like that." "You've got a situation where you've just conceded a point and you're laughing about it? Having fun? Time for wheeler to get serious his footy I think, no wonder the club is where it is"

    Caro: AFL investigating breach of conduct by Wheeler for engaging in contact with umpire equipment.

    Re: Terry Wheeler: goal umpire

    Love Terry , even when he was sacked he stayed bulldog through and through, extremely loyal to his connections and would do anything for the club still.
    He did the hard yards as a coach with us and was very successful considering where we were at.
    The guy is just very likeable , apart from his cheeky times playing the game I’ve never heard a bad word From anyone.
    Not sure what he does now but I Could see him at a vfl game just watching us.

    There aren't that many coaches wha are welcome back to their old club with open arms. Wheeler is definitely one of them. Did a jumper presentation to a first gamer last year IIRC?

    Did he present Caleb Daniel with his #35 before his debut?
