    I was at that game, and I still can't even believe a smother caused that kind of injury. It was crazy.

    I was at the game too, but I wasn't at the Lockett end, I was behind the opposite goals. Couldn't believe it...

    I only really remember the tail end of Wrecker's career, but Jetta has him covered handily based on my memory at least. Whelan did it for far longer, and actually played finals too (something I think we all hope Jetta will be able to rectify before long).

    Had a chat to nev about wrecker, said that wheels was his biggest role model at the club, and wheels taught him how to be a  professional footballer.

    I think it was around 2005 or 2006 first round against St Kilda and I was sitting with 2 Saints mates and 20 minutes in Wrecker takes out Del Santo with the best hip and shoulder I have ever seen. The noise of the impact was extraordinary to hear and to see as well. Del Santo was stretchered off, as my Saints friends said 20 minutes into the season and he is stuffed!

    But Wrecker had injured his neck and left the field some time later and missed a few weeks. So it evened out.

    Del Santo’s season was stuffed

    Wrecker missed a few weeks.

     

    We lost out big time

    Unfortunately after being laid out, Hird then pulled himself back together and through sheer force of will played a major part of getting his team over the line against us that day. 

    That was back in a time when I had respect for him and wished we had a player like him. He had it all....

    And he has still, it appears, had it all and then some ?

    Looks like one of those has had his nose out of joint a good few times.

    As in we all know who you are but have never seen that guy before. 

    So now obviously I need to explain we actually don't know who you are and we all know who he is. That is a common home that apparently hasn't reached your universe. No harm. Good to seen the pic.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
