Okay I have finally delivered:
and
BTW that goal Wills goal against Brisbane; explain to me why this isn't up there with Mick McGuane's famous running goal in the public consciousness? It's astonishing.

I'd never seen the goal against Adelaide before, that's a pretty special effort too.

He was one of the most unheralded, unrecognised super-talents running around in his day. Cult figure and well-deserved!

I've said it before and I will say it again. Willsy was one of the nicest footballers I have met. Even though I was really young at the time, my interactions with him have always stuck with me.
It reminds me a lot of that Morabito one against Hawthorn as well.

It's crazy to think a Freo vs North match was on Friday Night Football.
I will never forget the Wills soccer against Kangas match at the WACA. The Kangaroos were so dominant during that period led by Carey. We were up most of the match and they evened it up early in the fourth. I assumed they would run away with it.
I was listening to the radio at the time and the commentators were trying their best to explain Wills' magic! As a nine-year-old, I was desperate to get access to a TV and see it in action!

Please show this to Willo and Hilly. Some of those gut runs starting at half back finishing in him receiving it in the forward 50 and goalling... you just don't see that anymore. I suppose players would get told off for not holding the structure.
The world seemed like a different place in the 90s. Was it really that long ago?
Top work! Seems the only clip of Willsy's soccer goal on YouTube was sub-240p

Top work Paracleet. I remember where youngling me was for every one of these moments. I'm totally upscaling these to glorious 4K when I finish building my new PC...
Had a top 10 finish in the brownlow in 1997 playing for Freo as well. Didn't know that.
