Must have been more than once then ST. But I do well remember the Lakeside Oval game, and a pissed off Cowboy turning around and booting the goal post (Grandstand end).Stephen Theodore wrote:I reckon that scrubba drop kick was out at Waverly.Dave McNamara wrote:Love your choice of rover OGY.OldGeorgeYoung wrote: Fol Carl Ditterich, Nicky Winmar, P66’s choice![]()
To your list I'd add Jimmy 'karate' O'Dea, (embarrassingly) Mark Jackson, Wow Jones, Barry Lawrence and (embarrassingly

If that was circa 1978/79 at the Lakeside Oval, then I saw that one up close.
We were getting done. After kicking (scrubbing) the kick-in to the opposition, a clearly dirty Cowboy turned around, walked up to the goal post, and gave it an almighty kick. Set the thing swaying. Hilarious! South and Saints supporters all cracked up laffin'. (Probably get reported and fined for that sorta' thing today.)
I vaguely remember, maybe mid 70s Cowboy muffing a kick out from a point, and pretty sure it was out there. Maybe he muffed it more than once.
