Winston Abraham to return to AFL?

[BBQShapes]

Just heard on ESPN that he is thinking of making a comeback?? how old would he be now? didn't he retire because of a knee injury as well?

 

[The Zebra]

Winnie is 36 this year.

 

[shinboner magic]

Should be looked at.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Did they mean that he will return to the Australian Football League or that he will play the game of Australian Rules Football at a level below the AFL?

Not quiet skillful enough for our current team.

Quiet eh !!!

Yeah Sydney media call all Aussie Rules "AFL". I remember some idiot up there saying his 8 year old was "having a go at AFL." Must be bloody good!

 

[FrangaRoo]

far out some people are stupid.

 

[Devil Fish]

Ah, how I miss Winston - a genuine excitement machine - oozed pace & skill & was a booming kick.

Yep, and I'm gonna head outside now to have a Winnie Blue in his honour.

A young Winnie Abraham playing with us right now would make a world of difference to the team.

The guy was a bloody star.

Nice work!

One of my favourite memories of Winston was in the '99 GF where he sold the dummy, and kicked a goal on his left from about 8 metres out, he just oozed class and confidence and I knew we had it from that point on.

His best moment was in a 98 game against the Crows at footy park. He fell to the ground yet managed to crumb a half volley, as he was stumbling full pace into a pocket, he managed to hook a 35 metre goal on his left foot from the wrong pocket. Amazing. If anyone found footage, I'd jizz.

1:44 mark.

None of our players could do what he did that year.

He was so smooth. Like delicious velvet.

I think you came a little early?

The last clip - The goal v Collingwood is my favorite WINSTON moment.

Giddy Up!

 

[roonskins]

watching funkys post really reminded me how f----en good he was

 

[toepoker]

Sweet memories dull the pain of a day like today

The best thing about those highlight reels is our crowd numbers!

I guess being in the top 4 for several straight years will do that.

 

[Mesc]

lol , he hangs around the TAB near my home, let me tell you hes far from fit.

But yeh, a ****in awsome talent in his playing days, yet another champ that Freo let go.

 

[LB2Snake]

How friggin' smooth does he look in every one of those highlights.....was just ridiculously good. Injury ruined him didn't it? Absolutely loved him, gun!

 

[Biggie_]

plays C-Grade amatuers for kelmscott over here in the WAAFL... played against him a few weeks back
still has the silky smooth skills, jst not the fitness or pace and his knee still looks like it bothers him
absolute gun though

Was thinking exactly the same thing wombles!

 

[WA ROO]

Winston has been in a good paddock then again so has Byron.Both look a little like Derek Kickett these days

 

[ttamshadbolt]

The way he *always* kept his feet was the most impressive... perhaps Milky could benefit from watching that clip?

Wad actually thinking Wells could benefit from watching those highlights. Not a knock on Daniel, but how often does Winnie get the ball and just put on the jets towards goal, freak of a player IMO.
