Can anyone remember what ground it was that Winnie took that grab from Carey's kick at the start of that highlights package?

Manuka Oval (Carnberrer)

Manuka Oval. I was sitting a little to the left of the cheersquad and got a great view of Winnie's mark. He was brilliant to watch.

Caro's take is unbelievable and for me summarises everything that's wrong with football media nowadays,

Once again trying to create a debate over literally nothing over "whether coaches should remain in the coaches box" rubbish.

I have not seen one genuine rational person (caro and cornes don't count) actually have a go at Clarko and what he is doing yet the media try to create drama and debate when its just not there to be had.

The hypocrisy is evidenced by the time in the past where they've praised coaches for coaching from the bench. Clarkso was celebrating small wins with players, ensuring that they were engaged with the game, recognising contributions, teaching the players under his charge what it feels like to be respected and worthy of being in an AFL team. He needs confidence across the board. Unlike the baggers who inhabit the media, twitter and bigfooty, Clarkson is building a team, not knocking one down.

 

[Muscles Thommo]

Sure, if you want to lose the argument.

You really think that we are going to win an argument with the witch!!! She hates us so much that a rational argument is impossible. Biased to the extreme

 

[lockheed]

But I'm sure that Brad would have turned Winston into a competent half-back flanker

 

[lockheed]

Canberra I think.

It was Canberra. I was lucky enough to be sitting in that forward pocket.

From when I first watched footy (around 1959) coaches always sat on the boundary line with the runner, head trainer, doctor, chairman of selectors, etc. Cue old photos of Norm Smith, John Kennedy, Allan Killigrew and Barassi when coaching Carlton. Watch old Grand Final videos. An elevated box was an idea from early 70s I think. ( other posters may have better intel.) I think Barass had the box over the race in the old Arden Street grandstand installed around 1974. During the 80s I recall Allan Jeans coaching Hawthorn from the area next to the interchange area at Princes Park. As usual, a non issue from the footy 'media.'

Goodwin Longmire McCrae Fagan are all coaches who have coached from the boundary if that’s where they want to coach. Who is she to tell them they need to coach from a box. Caro you need a spell from the media your brain isn’t working.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

If Clarko's behaviour was "hubris of the worst order", then I am proud to announce that I too was guilty of "hubris of the worst order" when I was jumping up and down in front of the TV during the game.

Though, I'd describe it as being an invested, excited supporter.

Caro probably doesn't know what hubris means. Or else I don't.

 

[JD-Roo]

here.

Oooohhh that's gonna burn........ that's the origin of the hatred right there.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Thanks for posting that GR I got a bit teary myself.

Winnie is an absolute legend of this footy club!

It was so good to see Winnie, the first number as a kid I got out on my North jumper was 15.

And I was a bit surprised how emotional he got actually. I'd been under the impression that he'd become more of a Freo guy over the years since his retirement and not leaving the club in the best circumstances but he still bleeds blue and white afterall

Err, 9th time lucky? Could we get a father/son in the future?

Sorry Ltk

Hubris

It’s all hubris

Thou shalt not be emotionally invested

HU-BRIS

Never forget

I feel like i wrote hubris too much

Don’t say hubris

Oh I said hubris

 

[Friday Night Lights]

What an utter freak Winnie was.

I still marvel at his kicking ability more than anything I think. Perfectly dual-sided but more than that it was the way he flushed them. For a bloke all of about 5’9 he’d bomb set shots from well outside 50 with what looked like ease. No running around on an arc and hoiking them like Kingy. Just perfect balance and technique.

 

[bennymate]

Love it

**** he is elite!

TikTok star? WTF?

 

[Ashley B]

Ah now I see why some in the media are concerned . Big Al is good, very good. We might find ourselves in the Goldilocks zone sooner than we think. Go The Mighty Roos

 

[Pres]

Love it

This is fantastic access. Loved that

 

[Yianni]

Clarkson? Hubris?
I think she meant joyless. And herself.

Did Caro actually say hubris?
Woulda thought she said hubrith…

I still haven’t watched it, I swore I wouldn’t watch the trifecta of doom, and I broke that when I watched the corne Francis clip, but I’m back on the wagon. **** em

 

[Scottroo]

You can just see why blokes like Ziebell, turner and greenwood have improved so much in two games. They know their role and Clarko gives them credit when it’s due
