Figures. A club with no cultural memory. That's what we have over the other clubs in spades.

His opponent stupidly chided him, which tested Jimmy's patience and was duly dealt with. I looked at my opponent and thought all hell was going to break loose. Jim had knocked his opponent clean out. There was a ring of about 15 Essendon players surrounding him, but not one took a step forward. They were smart. |

O'Dea was just a Prick of a Player. Complete Dickhead

Exactly the criteria for making hero status at St Kilda. Cretons creeps criminals.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_O%27Dea
O'Dea is currently 59 years old and a hero to St Kilda. Here is a link to a Saints forum and you can read for yourself what they think of anyone who questions this pathetic lowlife act (Jeez they are a bunch of wankers those Sainters). http://www.saintsational.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39422&highlight=&sid=5cdced95c3a85e8cc2a7134f2b963dfd
That's why we have to heap coals of fire on those Saints supporters tomorrow night. Give the bastards nothing!
Here's an eyewitness account from a Melbourne support on the Demonland forum: "Nobody wore a Demon jumper to school in the 70's it was all Richmond & Collingwood. My Dad was a crazy St.Kilda supporter & I saw a heap of them as a kid also. Remember going to Moorabbin the day John Greening was cleaned up by Jim O'Dea. Still ranks as one of the most violent things I have seen on a footy field."
Here's how that thug looked in 1976! |
Showing what Idiots Barrack for the Aints

How about this Reply from a Pimp from St Kilda
| Quote: | Rumour had it O'Dea and Greening had a run-in in the carpark before the game.
Jimmy obviously hit him, but O'Dea never had a reputation as a real dirty player before or after the incident. Like Guy McKenna I suspect most of the damage was done as he hit the ground awkwardly rather than the initial blow.
I feel sorry for both of them.
Greening because he was a champion in the making, well actually he was already a champion, but had his best ahead of him. And he never lived up to his potential.
But in turn O'Dea was a victim. He was stigmatised for the rest of his career and remains so for an incident where the ramifications far exceeded his culpability.
All in all it was a sad day for football. |

Another Response:
| Quote: | My understanding of the events that took place is as follows:-
Greening had just kicked the ball from a mark/free kick and O'Dea was on the mark.
As he ran past O'Dea, following the kick upfield, Greening made an uncomplimentary remark about O'Dea's wife, along the lines of "I f....d your wife last night"
O'Dea threw a punch which connected too well and Greening hit the ground unconscious.
There was no premeditated 'king hit'. It was a spur of the moment lashing out by O'Dea.
I was there that day, sitting in the stand above the 'animal enclosure, and like everyone else saw nothing of the incident. My version of this incident was told to me a few days after the event by someone who was a friend of O'Dea.
As far as I'm aware no credible witness has ever come forward with a first hand account of the incident. I discount totally those Collingwood fans who publicly purported to have seen the incident and who later were found to have been 'mistaken'.
Incidentally, whilst Collingwood people continue to demonise O'Dea and the incident none of them ever mention their own player Duncan Wright who happened to be standing next to Essendon's Peter Sommerville at the MCG one day, and didn't see him 'feint' some 80 metres off the ball. |

To quote Bobby Davis, "Fair dinkum unbelievable." Given that most Saints players spent their R & R in Fitzroy Street St Kilda with $2 pros, I'd hardly think this sort of statement would provoke O'Dea. Of course I don't believe John Greening said it. They are just hopeless fans looking for excuses.

Revealing their total ignorance whilst trying to excuse the inexcuseable. Duncan Wright was promptly sacked by Collingwood for hitting Somerville and never played for the club again.

As tragic as the incident was, maybe it is time for us to move on as well.

Luckily for me I can see the error of someones way, a rash stupid cowardly act though it might be, and get on with my life.
Sadly for many others, they hang onto grief, hatred and despair for far too long.

It's a pity the perpetrating bastards did not and still do not have the same attitiude Kickit2me ,who have done nothing but lied about the planned attack even to this day on one of our most beautiful warriors.
Though it might be a rash cowardly act ?
Are you serious ?

Emotional reactions of grief can include anger, guilt, anxiety, sadness, and despair. Physical reactions of grief can include sleeping problems, changes in appetite, physical problems, or illness.

coward cow'ard adj.
WORD HISTORY A coward is one who “turns tail.” The word comes from Old French couart, coart, “coward,” and is related to Italian codardo, “coward.” Couart is formed from coe, a northern French dialectal variant of cue, “tail” (from Latin cōda), to which the derogatory suffix –ard was added. This suffix appears in bastard, laggard, and sluggard, to name a few. A coward may also be one with his tail between his legs. In heraldry a lion couard, “cowardly lion,” was depicted with his tail between his legs. So a coward may be one with his tail hidden between his legs or one who turns tail and runs like a rabbit, with his tail showing.
Thesaurus: cowardly
adjective
Ignobly lacking in courage: chickenhearted, craven, dastardly, faint-hearted, lily-livered, pusillanimous, unmanly. Slang chicken, gutless, yellow, yellow-bellied. See fear/courage.
So in closing the thug and the rest of that stinking putrid mob with no history no culture no known human qaulities can go take a flying @#%$ for all i care!
So please excuse this fat middle aged man for hating and not forgiving the bastards who deliberately attacked a brother in a Collingwood jumper and nearly killed him!
I can live with that.............and easily!!!
