    1985 Prelim. The winners rebooted

    For those who want to relive the Dogs V Hawks 1985 Prelim.
    Fox Footy Wedneday 15/7/2015 8.30pm

    The #1 subscription TV channel Fox Footy is bringing back the treasured ABC series of the 1970s and 1980s hosted by Drew Morphett featuring archived footage and special guest appearances from the best VFL players of the era.

    One of the most recognisable voices in VFL/AFL broadcasting history, Morphett will host a revamped version of the popular show, titled The Winners Rebooted, beginning Wednesday 15 July with Footscray hero Doug Hawkins who will relive the 1985 Preliminary Final against Hawthorn.

    “I’m really excited to be a part of bringing The Winners back to television on Fox Footy,” Morphett said.

    “It’s a show I loved working on for many years and it will be great to relive some of the best footy moments from the 70s and 80s when many of my favourite players were running around.

    “The Winners has captured some outstanding footy highlights and also some very impressive mullets, which I can’t wait to share with the Fox Footy audience.”

    Morphett returns to TV after an impressive career spanning more than 40 years, having commentated VFL/AFL, four Olympic Games, tennis, cricket, basketball and golf.

      Was at the game. So close to making the big one. Next time we find ourselves in that position it's going to be different - mark my words!

                  Can we get 1997 next week. Then 2009 the next week. Then a replay of the Ross Oakley Open Mike. Then a special AFL360 on our infamous tribunal hearings inc. Todd Curleys ump bump, Chris Grants stolen Brownlow. Perhaps then Go over the theft of our good players. Followed by a special of Eddie & Newbold talking about how our club is small, irrelevant and socialistly trying to steal their time slots, sponsors and money off them...

                  Perhaps they could just get the dude from Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom to just rip my heart of my chest. Would be quicker for me.

                      Surprisingly that game is on my Never To Be Seen Again list with the 1997 and 2009 PFs and a game against Essendon in 1984.
                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                          Funny that same here.

                          I went to that prelim in 1985 and my mate filled his boot with chicken and champagne ready to have after the game. There were about ten of us and when the siren went, we all went our separate ways.

                              The last game of the year. The only time I've felt that we never had a dip.

                                  Some footage of Ian Collins talking about stadium deals wouldn't go astray, not to mention John Elliot and his "tragic history" jibe. Throw in the Wayde Skipper ruck infringement on Jeff White in the penultimate round of 2005 and of course Bill Brownless and I think we have everything covered.

                                      Speak for yourself. I have a very long list of examples of disrespect to our club that must be atoned for.

                                                  The performance of the umpires when West Coke beat us in the 1999 QF on that windy night was a personal favourite of Sockeye.

                                                      I would have happily torn strips off Elliot for the disrespect he showed Chris Grant that night. "Only Carlton people call me Jack." Who the puck does he think he is? Only survived a lengthy spell in the slammer because Justice Vincent ruled the evidence against him in that business deal was inadmissible because of some technicality over whether or not it had been gathered legally. And to think at one stage he was being promoted as a possible PM!!! Talk about getting ahead of yourself. And he even put himself into a team of Carlton old boys to play a game somewhere. Looked like a beached whale. Couldn't get a touch, couldn't run ten metres. All tip and no iceberg. Thank christ he has sunk into the mire of oblivion where he belongs.
