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.

I was in full media absorb mode and that sunk deep.

I think I need some professional help now.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
