Tony Lockett Goodness

[@saintpuddle]

Champion. Best AFL player of all time.

[@mebeasensei]

Ooooah...Nicky Winmar! One handed split-second clean whippet-like pick-up of the spinning ball off the turf under pace and pressure and then superb delivery! What a legend!

[@mebeasensei]

5:04 - 5:12 Nicky Winmar, at incredible speed, under hot pursuit, flicks the ball forward at ground level, then scoops it up high, catches it, and then passes it like an arrow to Lockett. Winmar!! You star!!

[@trutheretic]

Tony had the best deliveryman, winmar Harvey

[@xalstarx]

Good to see Pies fan appreciate the big man. My favourite Collingwood player of all time, Peter McKenna, was also big fan. 1991 stands out as one of my most memorable years being a Saints fan. I was 15 years old and got to see them make the finals for the first time.

More strange synchronicity. I played with Dean Greig (#27) in 1990 @ Camberwell (VFA) under Gary "Barrell" Brice, & he was in my dream last night, & randomly, we put some Tony Lockett clips on tonite for my brother's Chinese father-in-law, and here was Greiggy starring... Spooky, man...

Complete package: beautiful kicking style, size, strength, skill

[@gti862001]

thanks for keeping these awesome games alive!!!!

[@charliesharley1]

Was brilliant wathching footy back then. No one will ever hold a candle to Big Tony... Glad he never went to the pies.... Just a pure goal kickin machine..

[@martyprice133]

awesome how his teammates wait for him to do his interview before singing the team song

[@smoothbeak]

Haha.

[@mufc383]

njk Soccer massive in over 240 countries while AFL is only big in 4 states of Australia fhjfk

[@collingwoodrules]

how good was that in only 14 games kicks 100 goals, no one else will beat that

[@patricksobb]

The siren sounds like the horn on an old Kingswood.

[@jackallen9459]

Look i have always been a west coast supporter but Lockett was a favourite to watch and in my opinion the greatest forward along with John Coleman. Could easily have kicked 170 plus with a full year and who knows possibly 190 counting finals

[@shinjuku96jackson4]

He's just so powerful

[@cokeglas]

Those were the days!!Fuck I loved watching Lockett wreak havoc on a Saturday!! The team sucked but every week you had the feeling you could see something incredible!

[@mebeasensei]

You nailed it!

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz9]

What a legend, quiet spoken

[@collingwoodrules]

the siren at football park sounds like some ones honking there car horn

[@joelbrown3726]

The greatest

[@shannonsutherland2450]

Best full-forward ever

[@taxads7791]

Phenomenal full forward, legend of the game. But don't count out John Coleman, played in a low scoring era & won the league goalkicking award in every one of his completed seasons, 5 years in a row. Had to retire before he even played 100 games, had not yet reached his peak. If you compare other full forwards in their 1st 98 games, they don't come close (except for Hudson, but he had already played 4 seasons of senior football when he came to the VFL). He was like nothing else seen before, fans would change ends each quarter & follow him (from both teams). If you compare stats in the first 98 games, Coleman 540 odd goals in a low scoring era, Lockett 380 odd goals in a high scoring era.

[@xalstarx]

Yeah, Ablett's cheap shot was the reason Nathan Burke had to wear a helmet for the rest of his career. Even though he (Ablett) was one of the most most skillful I've ever seen play the game, I'm kind of glad that dog never got a premiership medallion. Not sure if the '91 Sainters would have matched it with either Hawthorn or the Eagles in that finals series if they'd beaten Geelong. However, it makes for an interesting footy hypothetical.

[@markbeale8635]

Skill level in 1991 far superior...to today's 👁️ AFL

[@trutheretic]

100 goals in 14 rounds is absolutely insane, average of 7.1 goals a game

[@anthonywood9448]

our old school mate from wendouree Good on ya plugger u fuckin legend

[@jon50334]

Was a gun and unbeatable. To big to good

[@southerndiy1]

According to afltables he begun his 1991 season in round 7, and in his first 3 games kicked 34.11 👀

[@riewoldt12]

@southerndiy1 I have every one of those on here kzbin.info/aero/PLDg_ptSOe4GmS6FGPrQ3da5e_RHmpY3yV&si=g6rd8VoKhs9uQhXD

[@alfalders3020]

I always did, and still do wonder how the saints didn’t win a flag with that side.

[@collingwoodrules]

yeh in 1991 st kilda could have won the flag that year if only geelong didnt cheat in the elimination final with gary ablett senoir taking cheep shots

[@StoneColdChewy]

Go Saints!!!

[@riewoldt12]

@SaintTony1968 Surely thats a given with a nickname like that ;)
