The Dominator 6 v the prison bar mob from over the border.
Decent effort with two on the right. I don't remember him using the non-dominant foot very often.
But what a smooth action he had on the left.
Yep, not too often he needed to use right foot.
Great find ff78.
The first name Louie calls is a bloke called Ivan Eckermann.
His claim to fame is he’s the only player to knock out Leigh Matthews, happened in the State game at Footy Park.
To quote Lethal, “The ball was kicked towards our half forward flank and I can remember doing the logical thing and going after it from the forward pocket,” Matthews recalled. “My next memory was being steered around the boundary line by a couple of trainers ....... For the only time in my career, I had ‘lost’ a few minutes.”
Big thumbs up for Ivan I say.

ha ha. Yeah, I remembered the name Eckermann too, for different reasons. My cousin in Adelaide was a big Port Adelaide fan at the time and when I was over there for a few weeks in school holidays he was trying to teach me the names of his Port Adelaide players at the time. His brother barracked for Norwood and took me to a Norwood v Central Districts match whilst I was there too which was only a 10 or 15 minute walk from their house.

Port Adelaide had a Ben Eckermann on its list in the mid noughties.
Maybe Ivan's son?
Some chance but also possibly a close relative.

Anyone remember the year Paul ‘Molly’ Meldrum, simply walked into a training session and asked for a go. I loved Molly. Just saying.
I‘m mates with Tommy Alvin and Brian ‘Choco’ Royal. (His brother Wayne was actually Choco at the redlegs). Anyway, Bulldogs had the zone but loved Royally didn’t want Tommy, he was Meat and potatoes back then, Royally got leather poisoning every week - any other stories around of players who went on to play for different clubs because their zone team didn’t rate them.

Worth a listen.
There is obvious respect from DParkin for the great man who wore number 11.

Bruce Confessions with David Parkin
It was David Parkin's 80th birthday this month. Nearly 40 years ago, he stole Bruce Doull's footy jumper from his locker. 25 years later, he tried to return it.

Saw a photo of Bruce Doull with Mick Fleetwood both in Carlton Avco jumpers yesterday. Bought a smile to my face. A bit topical with the death of Christine McVie overnight. Can anyone access?

pay a professional voice or gtfo..............
Later to be premiership teammates.
One of commentators explained why it was a free kick to the other. Think the other commentator did not know it was direct hit to head.
Was totally fine but it still a free kick then or now.
