The hit Steve mentioned on Adriam Hickmont caused me to get into an argument with a Geelong supporter in the outer at kardinia park. He said something about it being a dirty hit, and i couldn't wear that.
Good work TCD, i have only just found these interviews and am really enjoying them.
I think his power came from his low centre of gravity (short legs). Boy he could hand them out and hurt the opposition. One he didn't mention was Andrew Bews at the MCG. Broke his collarbone.
Loved his comment to Brett Heady![]()
Thanks again great read.
l have met Steve before, about 4 years ago.
Very nice guy who had good things to say about the Dogs when things were looking bad.
Marching as one
Gee Wizz...
Just read this interview again and it's given me goosebumps all over.... again!!
Doug was right, a glaring omssion from our TOC.
I bet he's rapt with how young Mitch is traveling - can't wait to have another Wallis running around in the red, white and blue.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
Great work TCD, top interview. Superb work with all the interviews really.
I run into steve from time to time ( through work ). He is always polite, very very nice and always has time for a quick chat. I hope his son can follow in dad's footsteps - time will tell
Steve's a good guy.
He took training for my footy club leading into our '07 finals series. Taught us a thing or two, was very driven and spoke about his playing days briefly.
Good stuff.
Coon Dog,
I also enjoyed your interview. Steve has the capacity to become a Board member. Would be ideally suited to become the replacement for Simon Garlick as Director of Football, as an apprenticeship towards eventually taking over as Club President.
Best wishes,
