Several commentators on the day (Mark Howard on MMM was one) said it was as loud as they have ever heard it.....i don't think i really realised as i was too invested in the game. Also said it may never be that loud again. Mostly because it would be very rare to have a grand final where a) neutrals give a dam about the outcome and b) 90% of the stadium is going for the same team and c)its been 62 years since that team won the flag

My wife loved this after the win, she has a soft spot for Picken as she follows Pick's Mrs (Uncanny Anny) on facebook.

Re: Favourite GF presentation moments
It got pretty insane there toward the end. So intense. The best moment was Boyds long bomb. One second Buddy's bounding through the middle next second we're all standing up willing the ball through.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Favourite GF presentation moments
I thought the loudest moment was Picken's second goal - from 35m out - after the minute long pressure footy. Was an enormous build up and a huge roar.
In terms of the GF presentation moments - I quite like Roughy getting up and getting the Auskick kid to wave at the camera with him. Mr Nice guy big Rough.

Re: Favourite GF presentation moments
Is this a sad moment in one way? - have a look at top right hand corner. Bob walking away head down.

Re: Favourite GF presentation moments
Let's call it poignant, not sad -- couldn't have any sadness on that day.

No the other end. It was a bit funny cos we all turned our heads from live to big screen as one to see. We could see it was a huge kick but it was going to bounce. Then everyone went very quiet for a half second as we watched the nig off break on the big screen then it was time to dance.

Re: Favourite GF presentation moments
I was up in Level 4 for our Grand Final and unfortunately my phone battery went down but I have pics from the GF training session from WO and the GF parade.
From the post GF celebrations I would say Bevo's speech was very good and when they did the lap around the G with our cup - remember when Bob was going around punching his chest just amazing. Saw the Easton Wood confetti moment. The played some AC/DC at the end of the celebrations.
Choco = woof photo King great pics mate also BAD is quite close as well.

Great that he will be going around again very soon.

Re: Favourite GF presentation moments
God, so many. Loved watching the footage, when Bont receives his medal, he can be heard talking to the young(er) kid... 'Do you wanna shake my hand? Good on ya, ya little cutie!"... love it every time I see it. 20 years old, speaks like a grizzled veteran.
I also loved Richo's interviews, he seemed genuinely chuffed that we won. When he speaks to Dahl, and Lukey begins to tear up as he speaks about how the club gave him a chance.... brilliant.
This thread is brilliant too.
