Re: Greatest Ever Premierships

Undoubtedly, for all the reasons you mentioned, it was the greatest month of football any team has ever put together.

Re: Greatest Ever Premierships

Certainly the greatest premiership win in terms of the position we came from and with all our injuries.

A few of the commentary lines I won't forget:

"I think there going to get there now" BT

"The Bulldogs go through to a Grand Final" Luke Darcy

"It means everything if you are a Bulldogs fan everything" Bruce

"Their day, their year" DC

"But they don't miss out" DC

Ours easily by the length of the Flemington Straight.

By the distance Winx won the Cox Plate.

A month on, it's still enjoyable watching the unexpected Premierships. This video was up on AFL this morning and made my day.

Re: Greatest Ever Premierships

Interesting... the two nominations for greatest final, include the two major revolutionising of the handball.

Barassi's changed gameplan to handball much more, and Bevo's 'handball club' outrageous performances involving handballing over the players head to advantage all over the ground. Including Lachie Hunter's over the head handball to Picken in the forward pocket and an equally astonishing snap.

I am pretty sure in 1961 we revolutionised the way footy was played by introducing the handball. I am sure I have read that previously.

Did you mean the Whitten Flick Pass, banned mid 60's ?

I'd like to add

"the stadium hold's its' breath" DC on the Boyd goal

"wwhhhoooooooooooaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh" The SEN commentary team on the Bontempelli goal in the prelim

We used hamdball as an attacking weapon in 1924 in the state championship game against Essendon.

Hard to go past BTs delirious: "Tom Boyd. From inside the centre square. Inside the centre square. Tom Boyd. F*!k. I can't believe that!!..."

Just on that goal.

Standing there watching that ball is one of the most surreal moments of my life. It really was like the stadium did hold its breath. I can remember all of us standing and watching the ball, time really did seem to stand still as it stood on its end and I will never forget the pandemonium after it went through.
