- A very tense World Of Sport Club Corner segment following the Leigh Matthews / Neville Bruns incident (Round 12, Saturday 15th June 1985 at Princes Park). Introduced by Sandy Roberts and featuring Allan Jeans, Tom Hafey, Peter McKenna and Jack Dyer. Also featuring Uncle Doug Elliot's classic commercial for Solway Clothing.
Broadcast on World Of Sport, Channel 7 (HSV7) Melbourne, Australia. - Sport
Love Jack dyer at the end. Even the Bertocchi hams didn't cut the ice
Lol.
Yabbie Jeans, handled it like only a bloody cop could've.
I loved Uncle Doug's genuine "flexible" sincerity at plugging anything.
spot on...nice one!!!!
They should just show all these old shows again.....better than those bloody reality shows goin around!!! Ahhh, The Good Ole Days.........
People say Jacko started the whole thing but technically Gary Ayres did
Jacko was definitely a character but he was also a trouble making prick.🤨
@@alexander8688 It doesn't matter,Every bloke Jacko hit was looking at him. Cmon please, its hawthorn. Look at the colors. Please.
@@alexander8688 he was a still a draw though and attracted a lot of people to go to the footy and buy memberships. Just like wiz capper, ablett senior, lockett, dermott and dipper. AFL without entertaining larger than life characters is boring to watch.
Jeans has been involved in 3 of the worst incidents on the field.
1. Policeman Jeans orders fellow police officer Jim Odea to take out Collingwood champion Greening "early" and puts him in a coma in first minute of the game .He was in a coma 14 days and couldnt play for 2 years.
A supreme court writ was prepared but Vicpol squashed that .Corruption in plain sight. Charity match organised inplace .
2.Jeans and Cowboy Neale planned b4 game to king hit Hawthorns Peter Hudson in 1971 Grand Final.Hudson was left with half his ear hanging off and severe concussion .the gane was robbed of Hudson breaking the record as a result.
3 Matthews on bruns incident .
A grade asshole look at the crap that comes out of his mouth after Mckenna asks him a question .Just drivel...
lets not forget Footscray footballer Stephen Boyle who lost an eye in 1972 at the Western Oval thanks to an altercation with another Jeans henchmen in Cowboy Neale of St-Kilda Boyle never played football again
@@newellgirl WOW .
Uncle Doug approves 👍
Yes the Matthews incident was a dog’s act but I doubt it was on coach’s instructions. I’d bet my last dollar the Greening and Hudson king hits were, but the Matthews one seemed a fairly instinctive sniper act from a bloke whose whole career was blighted by cheap shots, raised forearms and elbows and general acts of thuggery. Ah yes, and the above comment also reminded me of the Boyle incident the same year as Greening - didn’t know it was the Cowboy.
Jeans was responsible for setting up and advocating old fashion bash merchants to take skilled players out of the game with vicious street tactics on more than one occasion.
Love the cleaning products and the honey at the end.. there you go lads disagreements all forgotten LOL
@J G so everybody should play soccer just because it's the biggest sport? What a boring world that would be. We need variety otherwise we stop loving the things we love. Nobody should be hoping for the death of any sport.
@@andoletube Don't even respond to that guy. He just spams that same copy and pasted comment everywhere on every video he goes to. He has no life. Nothing you reply to him will change that persons ignorance. Just pity him and move on.
@@alexf9381 Thanks for the heads up.
jack dyer couldnt get in quick enough with the bertocchi and honey
Allan Jeans was hilarious....."If you want to go back in history"? Bruns got his jaw broken the day before
He’s talking about his order to Jim O’Dea in 1972 to take out John Greening. First minutes of the game at Moorabbin - Greening received a free kick, kicks to a contest in the fwd pocket. Next thing O’Dea uppercuts him to the forehead and Greening ends up in hospital with brain damage. Jeans was a thug and a coward, and was clearly rattled.
@@rodcraven7728 He certainly looked rattled, that's for sure. He also just rambled on for a couple of minutes there and if anyone can provide a translation of what he was saying, I would be grateful. Tommy Hafey was a legend and the humility and grace of the man in answering his hard question was there for all to see. Good on Peter McKenna for asking the hard questions, as well.
Hawthorn and Jeans are a Rotten club
@@newdiggszweiundsiebzig He said he doesnt condone anything. and Peter McKenna is bringing the game into disrepute by talking about how his player broke another guy's jaw. lol
@@newdiggszweiundsiebzig I think "rambling" is being kind. He just spoke complete nonsense.
hahahaha that Solway promo
Classic! Love how just after they've shown Matthews rearranging Bruns face and copping the retributions himself, the team song launches in with "We're a happy team at Hawthorn..." Nicely edited.
It pisses me off that there is such reverence around Matthews these days, because as a player the guy was an out-and-out thug! And anyone who saw him play would be hard pressed to argue with that!
they keep calling him GOAT .PI55 off Whitten .Barassi ,Murray ,Skilton .Ablett .Name one of them he could beat one on one ? none of em
Leigh Matthews was a giant of a man. When he crossed that white line everyone knew he was there for one reason, to win at all costs and everyone who followed him would not deflect from that path. I cannot say the same for any other player of the game. When Leigh Matthews played for Hawthorn as a man, everybody played for Hawthorn as men.
He copped as much as he dished out
Agree, just got to see the hits on Keith Greig, outright thuggery and malice on a far better player
The 1976 GF hits on Keith Grieg were calculated & brutal, take out the best player in the other team, akin to cheating, as per Neil Balme on Southby in the 1972 GF
Absolute gibberish from Alan Jeans. This was a major incident in the history of the AFL - McKenna had an obligation to ask the question and Jeans made a pissweak effort to avoid saying what he should have said, and harked back to other incidents - in some way trying to justify what happened. Great to watch. I loved World of Sport.
'Why didn't you take Jackson off?' Because he averaged nearly 4 goals a game and could of won it off his own boot. Silly question
Also averaged three reports a game.And he has averaged zero premierships per career. But hey..who's counting?
Now that's television!!!
I hate individuals who do not accept responsibility for their ( or their players') actions. I hate it when individuals attempt to deny, deflect attention misimise and then turn it around and cast aspersions on others. Those characteristics are endemic in narcissistic and psychopathic individuals.
Allan Jeans was a cop.
Need I say more.
Bingo.
Oh...how much love was in that interview....lol!
wtf..Jeans??..Matthews wasn't "misapprehended" when he blatantly struck Bruns..the skeletons out of the cupboard line is timeless..Jeans may have been a great coach but in this instance he is in total denial about the thug act of Matthews.no wonder they nicknamed Jeans "Yabby"..Tom Hafey handled it brilliantly..Peter McKenna was being responsible by asking reasonable questions..great post of a deeply missed forum known as Club Corner..
And notice how Jeans tried to divert attention from a perfectly reasonable question about what happened the previous day! No respect whatsoever for this bloke.
Wow what a lowlife and a liar Jeans came across as , Mckenna challanged him and he couldn't handle it the dirty sniper. Hafey looked like he was going to kill him , lucky the ham and the washing products arrived!
Keyboard heros. Alan Jeans was a fine person. Stop embarrassing yourself
Bullshit. He ordered O’Dea to take out John Greening in the round 14 1972 match at Moorabbin any way he could. O’Dea was a cop himself, and only got 10 weeks. Greening ended up with brain damage. So much for your “fine person” - Jeans was a thug.
@@rodcraven7728Old school Vic cop thug
Bandwagonjumper,I don't think Greening from Collingwood thinks Jeans is a fine person.
@@BandwagonJumper007 bullshit he was keyboard princess...
1. he ordered fellow police officer Jim Odea (police martial arts instructor) to take out Collingwoods Greening "early" into the match..KOd him from behind in first 10 seconds of game and puts him in a coma for 14 days.
2 him and Cowboy neale conspire b4 the game plan to KO Hawthorns peter Hudson thereby robbing us of the delight of Hudson breaking record.Hudson cant remeber the Grand Final.Hope he doesnt get Alzeimers
3 bruns incident . First ever deregistering of VFL player.
the 3 worst incidents on file and he was coach of all the offenders all 3 occassions??? what r the odds on that?
yeah what a top bloke ?
The solway winter clearance is now on!!!!
Loved Uncle Doug's old style spruiking of the products he was paid to endorse.
The 2 players McKenna referred to were Mathhews hit on Bruns in that match, and O’Dea’s king hit on John Greening in 1972. Jeans was always a thug, and directed players to snipe the opposition. He didn’t like Peter calling him out on it, and he showed his true colours. Other players who were “ordered” to snipe were Ditterich and Muir.
Yes StKilda have always recruited thugs to do their sniping. That's why StKilda have only won one premiership by one solitary point. They're a club of losers Fair Bloody Dinkum they are.
Two of the ugliest king hits in football that I’ve ever heard about and can recall are the ones you just mentioned Rod. It was extremely costly for both players and in John Greening’s case, it ended his career . Very sad
Rubbish. The O’Dea and Greening incident is irrelevant. McKenna was referring to two Hawthorn players that were involved in king hits in that same season. The rest of your post and baseless accusations and lies can therefore be dismissed as total rubbish as well.
@@nickdaskalakis9289Don’t lie. You never saw the Greening incident. Very few if anyone saw what actually happened and the circumstances surrounding it as it wasn’t captured on film which was part of its controversy.
@@mregas78 so if very few people actually saw the incident, tell us what happened??
Mrs Brite for wiping the shit out of Yab's mouth!
I think Yabby was having a bad day from all the flack he was getting but he could have better answered the questions, i mean Tom was giving honest answers.
Jeez big Pete looked genuinely nervous asking Al anything
The ends would always justify the means as far as Jeans was concerned, snipers were a plenty in that Hawthorn team and he saw no wrong in that.
Thanks for your opinion soy boy.
@@thomasnewton5919 facts hurt your feeling Thomas ?
That`s right. Thankfully no one was killed. The man was a ruthless animal.
Sharp elbows were viewed as a skill back in the day haha.
Where was the Patra orange juice and the Don smallgoods?
Uncle Doug to bring it home, 1981 prices!!!
fucken oath. it's where the big men buy.
Tommy Hafey was a great person. Jeans not.
Tommy Hafey came to talk to my year about life skills and his experiences in a team sport. He was so down-to-earth. I Loved it. Is there any way to contact him through an email or something?
Tom Hafey was a true gentleman. His mother lived close by in our street and I happened to meet Tom Hafey in the park in our street, he was a quietly spoken gentleman of the game he loved.
RIP Yabbie..didnt agree with your comments on Club Corner..but I'm smart enough to acknowledge your great coaching efforts..old school type sadly missed in today's AFL which is lacking of Alan Jeans types.
They were disgraceful comments. no amount of success can forgive his implicit support for Matthews assault
That was the first time l thought criminal assault charges were ok to do after Matthews
Alan Jeans was coach when Jim O'Dea king hit someone, and also here. Do you detect a common thread?
yep 3 of them Greening .Hudson and Bruns spring to mind instantly.
Try getting in touch with the Richmond footy club. I'm sure they would be happy to pass on a message to Tom.
riveting...
Probably the worst act of thuggery in Australian sports history
Oh noo Carl Ditterich was an angel before Mathews wasn't he..people have short memories..Carl dit it so many times
The game has a history of thugs - Cowboy Neale, Barry Hall, Leigh Mathews, Dippierdominico, Brereton,Duncan Wright, O'Dea, Worsfold,Tony Lockett etc.etc. etc.
Tom is clearly unhappy as he should be. Of course, he had a few players in his premiership sides do similar things.
What’s with the background noises 😂
It's quite funny watching Jeans completely own McKenna, and with all that tension in the air in comes Jack Dyer with his array of goodies!
Owned with a bunch of illiterate sentences that made no sense.
absolutely, Jeans is completely inarticulate. He just babbles a load of nonsense. And I say that as a Hawk fan.
@@mattjohn66 its what Cops do when they r caught out .
Jeans, a typical copper.
Someone please translate what Jeans actually said?
I think nobody understood what he was saying. But he said enough to signal to anyone that he wasn't going to come clean on the incident.
This was a bad day for Alan Jeans, he was totally wrong and was way out of line.
I think you missed Allan's point. His "obligation" to the game means he can't comment on things done behind closed doors in which Peter was digging.
If the matter was dealt with more openly at the time perhaps Leigh Matthews might not have been de-registered and embarrassed as much as he was? Jeans is dismissive of the incident that was clearly a bad breach of the rules and the VFL should've acted swiftly before it got out of hand and it did. The look on Hafey's face says it all . He is disgusted with Jeans here.
There was no judicial obligation at the time of this interview at approximately 1pm on the Sunday, no action was taken until the Monday No report was initially lodged but television replays pressured the VFL into charging Matthews with ''conduct unbecoming''. Police Minister Race Matthews was not accepting of the VFL's reluctance to take any action as indicated by a flippant Jack Hamilton. Jeans was out of line here.
If only more sports could allow both managers to be interviewed at the same time, and then give them a complementary tub of honey. Wasn't the VFL great?
LOL!
Jeans was a true politician. Hafey was, as McKenna put it, a player's player.
Good interview that one, wish there were more from WoS.
Jeans was not a politician he was the thug coach who encouraged thugs like Matthews and Brereton.
Two coaches great respect for eachother.
Great days
before the days of Foxtel and IQ some things were just missed
Good old days
I think Alan Jeans took Peter Mckenna out in Leigh Matthews style 😂
haha gold
TJ said to watch this from the Sunday footy show 4/6/23
The good old days
Bruns may have been on the receiving end that day but make no mistake he was no shrinking violet and was well known for letting a few go off the ball.
Peter Mckenna was courageous.
He was a bit before my time, but he must have been resourceful to cope with the opposition.
yeah you get a bloody bertocchi ham yeah
Matthews was a thug, and those of us around at the time will never forget it.
Correct most of his hits were on players who were watching the ball. He had only eyes for the man.
barefootbooks69 still the GOAT
Yes but he was still one of the most talented players to play the game considering that he kicked 915 goals as a rover. Also he was best on ground in the 71 Grand Final as a 19 year old!
Leigh Matthews only did what was necessary.
Bruns was a nobody.
Neville Bruns was a squirrel gripper and Leigh Matthews ironed him out. Those are the facts.
Save up to 35 bucks on trousers. 🤔🤔
Come On the Cats, we smashed em them and we're smashing them in 07.
I liked Allan Jeans...there is a reason why Hawthorn made 7 consecutive Grand Finals...he was a good coach who got the best out of his players. Hawthorn in 1985 were clearly the second best team, but Allan didn't care. He demanded that players went out there and gave their best.
I see Aussie advertising was just as tacky then as it is now lol
'I think there are a lot of Hawthorn supporters....' What both of them? Jeans was a filthy coach. Greening incident with O'Dea, Dipperdomenicoe with Stoneham, Matthews with Smith and Bruns, Ditterich with everyone. Cowboy Neale on Power, Robinson on Watson, all coached by Jeans. Coincidence? I don't think so, that was his style. He used to tell his players regarding star opponents 'Take him out of the game' and they knew exactly what he meant, fact.
Your spelling is off but your examples are all valid.
Cowboy neale on Peter hudson was planned also
Jeans talks in riddles..
They were the good old days when you could throw a punch and get away with it, it's too clinical these days, no characters in the game at all, they are all robots now playing to the game plan, it's called sterilised football.......
I think that Peter Mckenna wasn't much of a hitter in his day...
you weren't either, I will line the fuck out of your brain schmuck.
Lethal was one of the best players ever but he at times was a cunt, snipering people.
Reason why Gary Ablett is the best ever despite his offield errors.
A pathetic response from Jeans. Matthews was both a thug. He sounds like the Boss Sergeant who tells his boy-cops to beat people up, but do it discretely and never confess. “I don’t condone the thing,” utter garbage.
RIP Alan Jeans.
@raff23 who cares how Bruns was you dont king hit a player its cowardly if Bruns copped it in a typical fight sure..but Bruns had no idea it was a gutless snipe from Matthews i'd say the same for Bruns if he did the same thing..i have no issue about Jeans as a man..sometimes they are wrong..
U know Jeans ordered fellow police officer Jim Odea to take out Collingwoods Greening early dont U? Coma for 14 days..
Not only a thug act but blatant police corruption.
I remeber as a child going to my father " Odea and jeans r police officers?"how could they do this ?
Or how about Jeans and Cowboy neale conspiring b4 the 71 GF to take Hudson out of the equation.? Hudson left the ground unable to recall a single moment of the game .yeah what a great guy.
@@johnsmith-cv1lp as a kid the newspaper photos of John Greening being carried off with blackened eyes were haunting... Jim O'Dea was a cowardly thug who destroyed an exceptionally talented footballer
Listened to that a couple of times and still can't work out what Jeans was on about. Talks absolute sh**.
R e s p o n ibilty
Leigh Mathews was a cowardly thug.
@newellgirl he also said he didnt condone what happened, neville bruns was a sniping little prick known amongst the players and coaches, perhaps this is what jeans was insinuating in this interview, you dish it out expect to cop it back at some stage.
Amen to that Mathews was a well renowned king hitter! And Jeans a cop! Say no more.
Jeans was one of worst animals ever involved in the game. Targeted hits.
Awkward
Thuggery.
Lethal was an animal on the field. But such a cool softy off it!!
Leigh Matthews weak
4 x Premiership player
4 x Premiership coach
8 x Peter Crimmins winner
AFL Team of the Century player
Hawthorn captain
Yes, very weak
get over it dickhead..Mathews was tougher than any of your shitty mob and you know it ! That's why u didnt win anything
@@dickiesdocos convicted criminal is missing from yr list
Peter McKenna - why did it take so long for networks to realise what an ordinary commentator he was?
He was so serious that it made him hilarious and one of the few I've ever liked.
Hafey said a man can only take so much about jako wow when we had guts to say it as it is noooooo frigennnn political correctness woke shit
And on comes the 🍯 at the end at the washing up detergent
