Nicky Thinks We're A Shot

Post: # 637291Post Winmarvellous »

Spoke to Nicky Winmar today and he thinks we're a good shot. Thinks the boys will run amok to quote him. Also joked about making a comeback with the G-Train. If only...

What year did Winmar retire.....seems a long time ago now...

I think it's a real pity he wasn't a one club player but at the end of his tenure at the Saints he had definitely lost the plot....


Saints looking like a bottom 4 team in 2024.

God save Nicky Winmar! A deadset champion! :D


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

In his final year with the Saints, we played 24 games.

Nicky was named among the best players, by the club in the Saint magazine, 16 times.

Then he was shafted and sacked because he stuffed up in one game against that little prick Franchina from Carlton.

It is an utter disgrace that Nicky was forced to play out his AFL career with the Dogs.

He is one of my all time favourite players. I have a framed poster of him ( from the painting of him lifting his jumper up and pointing telling the Collingwood ferals what for) on my family room wall, it is one of my most favourite possessions.

I hope life is good for him hopefully he might make it to the next Western Saints Function. I am sure we would all love to see him.

I love the man. 1998 was when he last played for us, then he had a year with the dogs, but his heart wasn't in it. He was in tears on the ground after the match he played against us. :( I'll never forgive Tim Watson for getting rid of him.

Does he ever make it over to Melbourne now? I'd love to meet him again one day.

Loved watching him play but I have never forgiven Winmar for walking out on the club over money in early 1993.

Ruined our momentum for the season and we never got it back. Kenny Sheldon lost his job at the end of that season.

I wasn't happy at the time either, but Nicky was probably a bit more easily lead than many. I daresay his manager at the time would have had a lot to do with it.

And now that he hasn't got any!

With the momentum we had then we could have gone all the way. Unfortunately luck never seems to follow St.Kilda


Another opportunity awaits!

Love Nicky but he's the first to admit he's no John Einstein


Are you gonna be the one?
