A great add, made me chuckle 
I clearly remember the bloodied Bourke that day at Arden Street. Those were the days.

No blood rule then hey Geoffrey.
Yeah, he did, never seen a tougher player. They used to use it on one of the football adverts, you see him using his jumper to wipe the blood out of his eyes. It's a bloody funny advert the Toyota one, maybe the Blight one is the only funnier one. Does anyone know who was the player who cleaned Bourke up?jb03 said:
Bourke entered football folklore in a match at Arden Street against North Melbourne. Bourke received an accidental finger in the eye, which quickly filled with blood that poured down his face and on to his guernsey. At the time there was no “blood rule” (requiring bleeding players to leave the field until the bleeding is stopped) and Bourke shifted to the forward line. Although he could barely see through the mass of blood, he dived full-length to take a chest mark, then kicked an important goal to ensure Richmond had a narrow win.

Absolutely love it cracked me right up especially when Dave drives up behind him singing the tiger song :rofl
Absolutely right geoffry and what made it even more courageous was that Arden St. did not have a blade of grass on it. I kicked my footy on that ground right after that match and the surface was like concrete.geoffryprettyboy said:
St Francis ohhhh to have a player like that now.

I think the Bourke goal was during the third quarter, but the game was in the balance inside time-on before Robert Wiley kicked a miracle goal to put us in front before following with the sealer straight after.

There's actually an ad in the hun today, a sort of behind the scenes on the commercial, interviewing St.Francis. He says it was Greg Strachan.

I couldn't remember and looked it up in Tigerland where it names Malthouse. Interesting.
