      Maybe he was a dirty bugger but always said please and thank you to the umpires, giving the nice guy image on the front line

        He gave me hell one day. I spent the entire 3rd quarter seperating him and Jeff Farmer.
        I did say at the end of his career.

            If his career continues the way it's started then Easton Wood is a chance to blow Wallis' record as the best on field assassin to pieces. Wood's currently getting a victim every second game (including when playing for Williamstown).

              Conversely Paul Kelly was more concerned with his "on his balls" tactics

                What's the story with Libba and the club these days. Has everyone buried the hatchet?

                    The hit on Brett Heady has coloured the way Steve Wallis is perceived. As a young player he was thin, elusive and skillful. As he aged, his body thickened and his game became more direct but he was never a Kennedy, West (Mark), Southern, MacPherson, Liberatore, Romero etc.

                    I'm with JohnGentStand.

                    Wally cleaned up more with his hip and shoulder than any other Bulldog in recent times. He nailed Paul Couch twice in one game coming off the square at Kardina Park and I can distinctly remember hearing the first hit from my spot on the boundary line.

                    It was like music to my ears. I had something of a man-crush on Wallis myself.

                    Of course, if his son does play like that, then he'll be spending five to seven week periods on the sidelines throughout his career. The head was not quite so sacrosanct back in the day.

                          Not that we didn't already know, but it just reinforced how passionate Libba was and how he bleed for the club.
                          The moment where his name is put in the 'no' column on the whiteboard is one of those real 'oh my god' moments.
