That coward filthy piece of crap O'Dea and his pathetic loser club who shouldn't even be in the AFL deserve to rot in hell. If I ever met O'Dea, I would fair dinkum look him straight in the eyes and smack my fist straight between his eyes.
What a coward. What a loser. I hope he gets payback one day. I was born in 1969 but those photo's make me sick and would have been irate if I had seen it at the game. Look at that pathetic excuse for a human arrogantly walking away as that young man is lying on the ground near dead.
Win it this week pies, smash that pathetic lot right out of the ground this week! |

St Kilda are the lowest piece of filth and always have been. They are constant pretenders - play five good games for the fainters and you're a "champion".
I hate them above all others - because of John Greening and that coward thug lowlife.
My iron rule for St Kilda is they only beat teams they know they can beat. They are essentially a gutless outfit. Get between their ears and guts and you've got them beat.
i hope we effen thrash them, the spineless lowlife stinking filth! _________________ "Only the weak believe that what they do in battle is who they are as men" - Thomas Marshall - "Ironclad". |

Great report MG. You've brought it all back to me. I still get very emotional when I think about that day. I was there at Moorabin as a young kid standing next to my grand father. The greatest player I've ever seen had his career ended and his life almost as well, by that thug O'Dea, almost certainly on the orders of the other copper at the Saints, Alan Jeans. FFS, Collingwood isn't it about time we honored our young champ cut down in his prime by having a medal or award named after him. Come on Eddie make it happen. |

Great suggestion Rudeboy!
I'll tell you one thing I have over St Kilda though. My of my first ever games of watching VFL footy was at Victoria Park in 1970. I was only a small kid and Tuddy was my hero. As you know we had a great side that year (the GF that year is too traumatic for me to recount), but the Saints were a tough outfit. At half-time they were nearly 10 goals up and I was in tears. My Dad said, "Come on son, have faith in the boys." Vic park was packed, and the mood was ugly. The boys were having a shocker. But in that second-half we ran the pants off the bastards and got up by about 10 points I think. I was so excited, and from that moment on, there was no doubt part of my heart will always be at old Victoria Park. |

You are a champ Dave. Let's know the link when you've done it. I really think this is an important way to educate our younger generation of supporters. |

Great Video:

Interesting though how it downplays the mongrel act that nearly killed him. We all know who did it and he won't be forgiven. |

A friend of a friend of mine said he had seen the incedent. He has a bit of credibility, he is not known to be a s**t talker.
He said if he ever see's O'Dea he'll slill spit in his face, and this is tweenty years on.
His exact words to me was "He karati kicked him in the head, when he wasn't expecting it."
I'm sure that O'Dea will still be feeling crap about it.
But its a sad story for our great club. |

He Kicked him in the Head?

I think it was actually reported at the time as a karate chop to the head. O'Dea was a copper trained in martial arts, while Johnny Greening was the fairest player you'd ever see. |

I wont mention who that player was, but he was much feted. |
Do you mean Ross Smith?
Amazing really that Greening lived given the poor medical assistance at grounds in those days. Reminds me of a classic scene in "Life of Mars" when Sam Tyler instructs an ambulance officer to give a girl a saline drip thinking he was a paramedic. "Listen mate I'm only the ambulance driver," was the response. Those Collingwood trainers did a great job, but they were not skilled paramedics. With the bleeding on the brain that Greening experienced, it is a miracle he didn't die. And it seemed to take an age before they got him off the ground. Bad memories all round. At least when the Sainters move to Frankston they'll bulldoze the place! |

I doubt you'd ever get any admission from Jeans, going by his ridiculous performance on world of sport after the Matthews-Bruns incident.
Interesting that it was the normally easy going Peter McKenna who got stuck into him as it was Mackas team mate who went down several years earlier as well.
We all saw how great Jeans was when he coached Richmond too. |
