Never had the privilege of seeing John Beckwith play, of course the boundary kick was legendary. But as a youngster going to the ‘G he was my very first Demon’s coach. Of course he was a guest on World of Sport on Channel 7. Can almost remember Lou Richards with his cheeky asides, but John always responded graciously with a smile. Except for ‘58 you’d think we had the wood on the colliewobbles. l do recall going out to a wintry VFL Park one bleak Saturday arvo. When the pupil was pitted against the master. Norm Smith was the coach of South Melbourne post his final less than dignified departure from the Demons. His health by then was ailing, but the Red Fox still managed to get one back. Led by ‘The Chimp’ Bobby Skilton, the Swans delivered a bath to the John Beckwith coached Melbourne side. His stint as coach at the MFC was like most of his successors, unsuccessful. Unlike his storied playing career. I’m sure he gave his charges down in the change rooms after the game, solace. A successful captain always supports his team. Vale John Beckwith.

Andy went alright against Sandy. 33 total disposals at 97% disposal efficiency. 16 handballs 17 kicks 6 marks Don’t recall him being the dedicated kicker in. Sandy had a high degree of accuracy in the first 3/4’s. Totalled 9 behinds by game end. 11 intercept possessions 7 contested possessions 5 scoring involvements 4 tackles Best game l can recall from AMW at Casey. Involved in the game throughout, dynamic in the last quarter during Casey’s late charge at victory. Set the personal performance mark quite high. Going back to go forward. Needs to keep knocking on the door. Hard.
