Fantastic to see how much it meant to him at that presentation.  Well done to the club and all involved.  Speaks well too to the fantastic engagement with former players that has been fostered over several years now.

    Pie player once mentioned Willo was Coach Lethal’s most feared player in the AFL - could change a game in minutes.

    Yes i will never forget the finger to the Members!! At the time I didn’t love it though 

    We got him to 200 games and then we got the Finger!!

    I seem to recall that he was asked after the game about the gesture to the Members.  He simply explained that he was ordering a coffee with two sugars...!  A lovable larrikan!

    So, was the medal stolen at some point?

    It's kinda odd that the circumstances of the medal going missing haven't been mentioned anywhere ...       🤔

    Was an absolute favorite to watch. Like most of his era he had a fulltime job as well as footy. I think he was an Aviation Firefighter from memory.

    Yep, Melbourne (Tulla) Airport Fire Station c.1990.  The Techs reckon he gave them a right old ear-bashing whenever they went over.

    Sounds like a guilty conscience decided to give it back via a third party

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
