If you've just joined us,
the big question is, how would Dwayne Russell have commentated this Dwayne Russell goal?

#RIP Lyn Grigg.
As passionate and enthusiastic of the Richmond Football Club as anyone. Was a vital co-founder of Hafey's Ambush, inaugural board member of the Tommy Hafey Club and a familiar face at all the Tigerland coterie events.

Not a great visual is it.
AFL paid Snoop Dogg millions of dollars to perform, Gout Gout hundred of thousands to start a race, and then Preston FC folds.

Have we got a big discovery out of the vault this evening.

1984 vault.
Brian Taylor knocks back some extra $$

Here we go folks. The end of an era.

The last ever centre bounce in an AFL game.
Umpire Andrew Stephens. #AFL

What a stupid decision by the AFL Commission.
The solution was always in front of you - simply call "play on" if the bounce went askew.
But no, you've binned it because "umpires can focus their energy", "safety", "umpire contact"
Another part of our game that was unique, is gone.

Tim Watson hip and shoulder #AFL

Takes some skill to hit the behind post on the full. #AFL

RFC MARCH 1885 The guernsey, the members tickets, and the goalposts.

I had assumed that the club's first guernsey in 1885 were made where the Grill'd Restaurant is now on Swan Street. I was wrong.
The deep dive into March 1885 reveals the true answer.

YouTube video by NFSA Films Earliest surviving Australian Rules footage: 1909 VFL Grand Final, South Melbourne vs Carlton

The last time the #AFLGF score was level at halftime was in 1909.
It's also the earliest surviving game footage

On this Day 45 years ago, Kevin Bartlett was awarded the Norm Smith Medal.

And he's back at the scene of his triumph today watching at the MCG. #aflgf

Ugh the $$$ ads need to be shot into the moon

If I was in charge of the AFL I would get rid off:

-songs after goals
- led moving signage during play.
- half time loud music
- stand rule
-bounce recall. (regardless how ball bounces, its play on)
-extra time in GF (suck it up and come back next week).
-interchange (max 10 per match)

Great bounce to start the #AFLGF . No need to get rid of it. A nice unique part of our game that differs from all other games around the world.

Mike Brady is a star.
Nails the performance despite audio track sound issues.
Singing "I need to hear the track" as you get into the chorus is a boss move.
60 years ago this month, he knocked the Beatles off the No.1 chart. Absolutely icon. #aflgf
