In 95 I played in arguably the greatest Carlton team of all time. We flogged Geelong in the GF and I bagged 5 along with the Norm Smith. In my final season in 97 I was involved in an incident with that soft cock dog Denham from the scum, where I innocently brushed aside Umpire Andrew Coates who didn't deem the incident reportable. The AFL in it's wisdom pursued the incident through the courts until they received their desired outcome, so I retired.
I now have symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy as a result of head trauma.
Here's a bit of irony.
From the Williams book
1986 Sydney vs Fitzroy
"Ëxactly 11 minutes into the first quarter field umpire Rowan Sawers said he was reporting me for striking Clayton in the stomach. I was not pleased.
And nearly seven minutes later while I was still angry, I nearly made things a lot worse. Sawers awarded a free kick against me which I thought was unjust. We had words. I fronted him and manhandled him a bit. He could have reported me again. Instead he awraded a double 15 metre penalty against me.
The Clayton report was dismissed and Williams went on to share the Brownlow with Dipper.
So from a Carlton point of view while we missed out on one Brownlow in 1993 (which he should have won)...Diesel actually finished up all-square.
