1980's SANFL

Didn't Robbie Muir have a stint at Torrens?

Didn't Robbie Muir have a stint at Torrens?

Yep, and Woodville.

Didn't Robbie Muir have a stint at Torrens?

Yep, and Woodville.

Might've been a Woodville v Torrens match when he jumped the fence after the final siren and went after some fans behind the goals who were mouthing off at him.

As if a fence would stop 'Mad Dog!'

Got sacked (again) for that...

It was indeed at Thebarton. He went to jump the fence after the final siren but actually didn't. Never seen a crowd scatter so quick. They had been throwing water filled bottles at him amongst other things. Didn't play many games for the Warriors, but was generally pretty disciplined and played some good footy. 1985, from memory.

Greg Nicholson did come from the VFA though, I think it may have been Frankston.

Some of the more notables from West:

Ian Borchard (Richmond)
Richard Hamilton (country Vic I think)
Craig Williams (St. Kilda, Fitzroy Reserves)
Larry Watson (Essendon, Fitzroy)
Mike Smith (Richmond,South Melbourne)
Bernie Conlen (South Melbourne/Sydney)
Mark Dreher (Collingwood)
Des Herbert (Fitzroy?)
Derek Shaw (Collingwood)
Ron Andrews (Essendon)
Carl Herbert (Collingwood)
David Twomey (Collingwood)
Neville Shaw (Collingwood)

IIRC, Robin McKinnon came from Geelong...

[GWW]

I thought McKinnon was from Mt Gambier.

Reakon you're right, G-Dub.

Know Geelong tried to sign him.

Maybe that explains my confusion?

Still in a daze after the Lakers/Queensland double...

[nickname]

McKinnon was from Mt Gambier. Geelong pursued him but he never played for them.

he was drafted by Hawthorn in 1985 or 86 draft

[baggy8]

Robin is the son of Bloods 1961 premiership player, Les McKinnon

Don't know who you're thinking of there baggy but no one called Les McKinnon played for Westies in 1961.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Les McKinnon played for West Adelaide in 1959 and 1960. Recruited from South Gambier.

I reckon he went to Port Noarlunga in the SFL at some stage and did jump the fence and belt someone with a deck chair

[baggy8]

You're right nickname. I'll change that to son of Bloods 1959 Grand Final player, Les McKinnon.

[GWW]

I hadnt realised til reading in todays Tiser that Gotta Getta Gutter, which does frequent tv advertising, is owned by 1980's Norwood (and i think also Centrals) player Sean Disbury.

[nickname]

Les McKinnon played for West Adelaide in 1959 and 1960. Recruited from South Gambier.

Thanks AH and baggy, I was unaware of that. Wish he'd produced a few others.

I hear he's a Power supporter these days

Anyone else see the highlights of the last quarter of the Sturt v Centrals game from 1982 during today's telecast?

Sturt apparently were up by 12 goals during the 2nd quarter but the Dogs ended up winning by 2 points

Some interesting names mentioned - Michael Wright, Greg Edwards, Stephen Trigg, Michael Graham, Frank Spiel, Andrew Zilm, and a few others.

Daryl Hicks on the sideline as coach.

I loved that era of the SANFL

Spelly, do you have any quarter by quarter and goalkicker details from that game?

It has been mentioned somewhere here before GWW.
I think it may be the biggest comeback ever ?
I saw the highlights and actually spotted myself and my uncle behind the northern goals........great memories.
I would like to point out that Wilbur Wilson missed the big sticks by a good 2 metres and was given a goal !!!!!!!!!!
Was good to reminisce on some of my favourite players of the time in Ray Wilson, Chris Radbone and Tim Paech.

Tim Paech was an absolute GUN. does anyone know what happened to him and now ?
