Anyone remember Dunkley kicking a set shot goal from the boundary(?) in his last season or so? Helicoptered like a sack of flubber. And went through to much cheering and laughter.

Wish we had a vid of it.

During our great win at the Cat's litter box this year I was really impressed by Ronke in in what may have been his first game. I thought he was decisive in the win.

Watching the sturdy young fella reminded me of a bloke called Mick Mulligan who played for us in the late 60s. He was a specialist 19th man and came on a couple of times to kick critical last quarter goals. He had the same sort of footy smarts Ronke seems to possess, tho given his weight it seemed he was not a dedicated trainer - even in those days.

A second random memory I have is of discovering that the Bloods had the best "KB". Kevin Bloody Bartllet of course rejoices in the moniker KB. But during the 60s South had a far more talented player than Hungry. Keith Baskin was a mercurial half forward who could take a grab, was agile and could bloody kick the ball. He was just short of Peter Bedford on the talent scale. He got targeted a lot by Oppo teams and seem to remember he copped some severe facial injuries.

Anyways two more random memories. I enjoy this thread.

Another KB is Ken Boyd - of course Ken punching Carlton's John Nicholls.

A long way short of Bedford was Keith, prodigious talent , strange man.

Round 2 2014 vs Collingwood at ANZ.

I was at the game, near the 50m arc, I remember Bud launched one from 55 odd, sailed though mid post height. that 'thud' when it left his boot has always stuck in my mind.

Added spice, that day Buddy stole the Coleman off Brown at the death.

Cresswell trying to put his dislocated knee back in by slapping it. :eek:

Pickett smashing Kirky in a qualifying final in Adel. Whole ground assumed he was finished for the day. Camera pans away. Seconds later Kirky just gets up and starts chasing the play. Brereton in 1988 GF level epic.

I fckn love Kirky. In my top 3 fav Swans.

That image of him pushing the trainers off, bloodied, but we were down & the game was on the line... *shivers*
 
For some silly reason the moment that keeps popping up for me is when Tony Morwood tackled Carlton's Tommy Alvin by dragging him down by his long hair in a game at the SCG ( late 80's ?)
To make it even funnier Morwood received the free kick for holding the ball IIRC.

Beating Collingwood narrowly at Victoria Park for the first time in many years ( early 80"s?) and escaping alive after the game was another memorable moment.

Round 7 1980 Lakeside Oval.

Francis Jackson knocked out Ray Shaw.

Graeme Teasdale took a hanger.

... but why did Teasdale wear that brown velour suit to collect his 1977 Brownlow medal?

Yeah, 6' 2" Graham, but the Southern Cross had all the lights up when you accepted and we did notice ;)

Velour suits were all the rage in Sydney in the mid to late 70s... dark brown, deep forrest green, dark royal blue and some deep purple with women wearing the matching pastels...
