Re: Tough

This is a great thread.

The player I want to include in the mix is Steve Kretiuk.

He played the bulk of his career injured, often battled manfully against bigger opponents and gave100% at every contest.

I heard he was a pretty humble type of guy too off the field. I remember a friend of mine was out at a gathering and Steve K was there. When it came to saying what he did for a living he replied he was "in the sporting industry". No showing off about being an AFL footballer.

Classic
"Tears to my eyes"....made me laugh out loud. Ah I love being a dogs supporter.


Liam Picken is much loved, especially when he goes toe to toe with Adam Goodes or some other heavy weight without blinking twice. There's nobody in AFL who could intimidate him.

Here ****ing here!
One of those guys who would probably die on the field if it ment moving the ball 5m in the dogs direction.

Re: Tough

Characters: Terry Wheeler versus Cowboy Neale
Scene: Outer flank, Western Oval
Scenario: Barrell-chested Cowboy charging down the flank with a full head of steam and stealing a bounce or two. Our valiant Squirrel lines him up and delivers the most fearsome full on shirt front, immovable object meets irresistable force.........................immovable object charges on without retardation, Squirrel flat on his backside.
Tone: ****ing hilarious!!!

Reminds me of a game at the Western Oval V Carlton in 1978. The Blues had a terrible start to the season and replaced Ian Stewart with Alex Jesalenko as captain/coach after 4 or 5 rounds. Carlton then went on a run of 10+ wins. Just before halftime with Carlton leading by nearly 5 goals Terry Wheeler shirtfronted Jezza right in front of the member's stand and knocked him into the middle of the following week.

Jezza was carried off the ground and Percy Jones had to take over the coaching duties. We ended up winning the game by nearly 5 goals while the Carlton players ran around like chooks without heads.

Result. Pure ****ing bliss!
