the runner incident it was actually a South trainer/doctor who was going onto the ground, Sturt were going forward and had kicked to the HFF to Gummy who went to take the mark at about the same spot where the trainer was (he basically got in the way), Gummy dropped the mark, nearly collected the trainer, South cleared but as was there day, they didnt get far, we got a goal not long after that anyway
and he did get a huge cheer when he came off the ground (the trainer that is )

I have read so many posts about it, but everybody talks about it like an inside joke, alluding to the crazy hi-jinks of the runner that lost his marbles, without ever actually saying what he did. Did you see it?
Sorry mate I did not see that one, I was marooned out at a family function all Sunday arvo!

Yes that pretty much somes it up. Fantastic play by the runner/trainer to actually make a contest to the ball, where the 18 players on the field did not!!!!
Best for South : Sampson, Bennett, Runner/Trainer.
Does anyone remember the day Tony McGuiness was playing for the Crows when he was chasing the ball in an acre of space, only for a crows trainer to blindside him and run into him knocking him to the ground. McGuinness showed his appreciation with an uppercut before running after the ball again. From memory it cost the crows a good chance to score and resulted in a turnover.

it was a very funny incident, however saying that, luckily no one was injured
But it was more than a victory for Greece. It was a stirring example to free people throughout the world of what a few brave men can accomplish once they refuse to submit to tyranny.
