My best indigenous 22: Adam Goodes. No Winmar??
Just having a brouse through the AFL website when i came across this absolute corker..
Obviously Goodes is as dopey as he looks, or maybe due to Nicky also having the name Elvis, Goodes thought he's American.
Surely an oversight....

Goodes obviously has a very thick skull, full of bone but with very little grey matter.
What a deadset idiot he is not to include the great Nicky Winmar.
And how pathetic is it of the AFL to allow such a stupid article without the great Cuz in the side!
I had to laugh with his inclusion of Winston Abraham!!!
Come on plugger, I know you can't resist this thread!

You would have Winmar ahead of
Shannon Motlop
McGrath
Bateman
Headland
Rioli
Williams
Abraham
Stokes
Easily...
And if you take out the poistions... he's also a much better player than any of
Wirrapunda
Pickett
O'Laughlin
Lewis
In Goodes' defence... he's obviously just put it together in about 10min and forgotten about Nicky

Aside from the horrendous choices and glaring omissions, his descriptions are composed of one hakneyed cliche after another. Pathetic that they'd even publish it. It is just players he's played against with the exception of Polly Farmer, about whom he obviously knows nothing but felt obliged to include. Imagine describing the great man with today's jargon: "Fantastic at hit outs to advantage." Goodes thinks and writes like he looks--not good at all.
Carna Saints!!!

5 prelims in 7 years. 40 wins from 49 games.
2009 and 2010 were 2 of the 5 best years ever by the St.Kilda FC.
Thanks for all your efforts Saints.

Back then not all games were televised, so we played many games were there were no broadcast cameras, or maybe one on the wing for highlights. Winmar is my favourite player of all time by a country mile, saw him do so many amazing things that no-one but those at the ground wll ever be aware of...Sainterman wrote:Trying to convince a mate at work about how good Nicky was...why is there such limited footage of him??
Anyone have any links so he can see some of the brilliance himself?
The future's so bright I've got to wear shades...

Yes, it is a shame. Might be worth ripping some of the old videos I have to .avi files. Videos like "The Year Of The Rising Saint" from 1991 and then also some of those videos when they referred to us as the Southern Saints on the cover!Harvey To Hayes wrote:Back then not all games were televised, so we played many games were there were no broadcast cameras, or maybe one on the wing for highlights.

There is footage of a mark Winmar took against Essendon early in his career on one of them that was just about the best mark I have ever seen. Gee he could just do the sublime our Nicky.
