cheers waflnut - without this link i would not have been able to listen to wafl rewind. many thanks. makes for fascinating listening indeed. not only does old easts defeat swans in the gf (tho the match look dead and buried 3/4 time)infront of a then record crowd. wa beats the big v for the first time at home in a long time. some of the names mentioned in that snippet of commentary were mel whinnen, derek chadwick, mal atwell what is known of these men? - i know whinnen played many games for wp. can anyone shed some light on this?

Whinnen played 371 games for West Perth - a league record for games played with the one club. Fantastic player with silky skills and one of the nicest blokes you could ever hope to meet. Sat on the bench in WP's 1960 premiership as either a 17yo or 18yo. Nine best and fairests for the club (also a WAFL record) and played in premierships of 1960 (as a substitute), 1969, 1971 and 1975. Given an MBE for services to footy.
Mal Atwell was a brute of a bloke. I dont mean he was dirty, but he was a tough player and when I met him a few years back his grip was still enough to tear your arm off.
Chaddy was as good a cricketer as he was a footballer, playing for his State in summer and East Perth in winter. Famed for running the ball along the wing at Perth Oval.

I really enjoyed WAFL Rewind. Looking forward to next week's programme.

i guess i ve been wrapped up on my old eats trip i have failed to look around at other clubs - mel whinnens story is incredible - no doubt he would have turned downed offers to play in melbourne. it is fantastic he played in premiership teams and for his state.
in that audio of the state match i am certain i heard the name polly farmer as playing - which would of been for victoria not wa.
