This was a great show just died when Sam left.didnt mind making a joke of himself.he may have gone too far at times but he at least the guts to say what a lot of us thinking or saying amongst ourselves.✌️
It's funny when you look back at marks in 2003 a lot of those wouldn't even be paid in today's game. I even noticed the same watching late 90's footage. In today's game if the ball comes out or gets knocked out even in the dying split second, it doesn't get paid.
Warwick Capper really was a genuine superstar, his ability to leap and kick a goal would have him as one of the very best in the league in the modern era
No wonder state of origin eventually died a dreadful death. When the guernsey the boys were playing for means nothing you can’t expect the fans to get behind it either. When clubs didn’t want their players in a state game for fear of injury it was clear there was no pride in it anymore. 90 was a great year for the Pies.
Re the discussion at 43:00, if you watch the 1989 SANFL Grand Final at m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mNxPNmb7pSA.html you will see a Port defence that was so fast and hard and exerted such pressure that North Adelaide did not have a clean shot at goal all game. The way Port played makes me think even the Hawthorn or Geelong attacks would hardly have scored more than Northʼs 1-8 (14). At times I imagine Michael Malthouse (in 1989 coach of a Footscray team that scored the fewest points of any team since 1972) feeling a sense of horror at how Portʼs defence played - perhaps imagining Port would regularly hold AFL teams like his to a blank goal tally. Given Portʼs Grand Final performance, at times I have felt the proceedings about the admission of a South Australian team to the AFL were almost farcical.
I remember going to Windy Hill when Sheedy played Salmon out of the square with TD, Merret and Van der Haar strung across the half-forward line - perhaps only the 89 Hawks of Dunstall in front of Hall, Brereton and Buckenara can compare.
Watching this in 2023 we took for granted how great the times were in the 90’d and 2000’s Thursday night as a family watching the footy show happy times
What I have come to realise is, that during this era, there was a whole AFL production package made for overseas and interstate that we never knew about at the time.
Regarding the discussion at 1:48, virtually all Australian Rules clubs were as of 1986 insolvent because the growth of distant suburbs far from public transit access to grounds, and of super-rich television corporations, meant football as it was structured had zero hope of competing with basketball in the form of the NBA and even the local NBL.
Appreciate the upload, sound quality is very poor with a lot of high frequency distortion, makes it hard to watch in some parts. But thanks for uploading, this was an amazing season by Essendon, I was only 9 yrs old at the time lol, but I remember growing up supporting the Bombers and watching highlights of this. I grew up in Bendigo, and most of us supported the Bombers via the Bendigo Bombers, which was part of Essendon. I live on the GCoast now but always love coming down to visit my family and going to G for a game or two. Thanks again for the upload, Emma, GlassManagement Models, Surfers Paradise.
