It's the West Adelaide bench. That's Jack Oatey (West's coach at the time) doing the splits.
The offending goalpost was chopped down later that night by some West Adelaide players (including Neil Kerley) who jumped the fence into Adelaide Oval. It ended up on the BBQ at the West Adelaide wake and what was left of it after that was hung in either West's clubrooms or behind the bar in a pub in West's district. Sorry, can't remember the exact location. A classic SANFL legend though.

The picture of Bernie Smith's reaction when he was at home and he'd been informed of his 1952 Brownlow win. It might have been staged but it was a beauty. Couldn't find it though.
Another great photo.
Walkers mark as 3 million views and Krakours has 80k

even better is a screengrab from the TV footage - as Smith goes to mark, a flash bulb goes off right behind the ball. Amazing

Unfortunately being a Port home game, Phil was pictured in Port colours on the big screen, so in that context it loses a bit of meaning to the untrained observer

Ta. Completely forgot the date, but I didn't think 73 was right
It really is quite sad how all the storied SANFL and WAFL clubs and Southport were all shafted.
