Having a chat with work colleagues and as I wear hats constantly there are a few comments re had attire. During this mornings hat hijinks I mentioned the great man Jimmy wearing a hat (for some reason I feel like he did it more than once) during a game.

I looked it up and have come across a preseason game against the Bears, the hat didn't last long as Scotty Kennedy and Dion Scott ripped it up. I am hoping the fine folk of DL can help me source a pick or two of that occasion or if there were other occasions he wore a hat during a game pics of that as I can't find any online in my 5 mins of searching.

Cheers

 

PS I did come across this pic though :)  https://chopsathome.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/jameshirdsleep.jpg?w=580

    That should have warning attached Cards!  My skin feels creepy.

    Definitely remember him wearing it during that pre-season game up in Queensland, not sure if he did it any other times. Don't have any pics though sorry but can clearly remember it as well as it being ripped off his head haha

    Here is an article about the game mentioning the incident: http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/134305433

    And DL I came across that pic, and that is the game I recall, I think it was against the Pies at the G but that is the only pic I can find with him with a hat on.


    Would love to find the green cap game pic.

    I have looked for footage previously and not been able to find it. The funniest thing I have ever seen in football. Jim Stynes was his own man. There will never be anybody else like him. So glad he wore red and blue.

    No wonder Jimmy was wearing a hat. It looks like he's stumbled in on the Boxing Day Test.

    And got in the way of the umpire on his way to the wicket.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
