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.

Lucky he hadn’t pulled a calf ?

you've put me off ma coffee !

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.
