Jimmy's Green Hat

Featured Replies

Posted

Team

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
