    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
