The MMM commentary of the last 5 minutes of the GF is great. It's on YouTube.
McAvaney and Cometti were brilliant. I always liked Tim Lane and Gerard Whately is good.

To go back a long way, Lou Richards was great, humorous, descriptive and knowledgeable. On the radio Rex hunt tried to emulate him but was nowhere near as good.

BT isn't terrible, he's just not very good.

Saw a different camera view of the cup lift on AFL 360 last night, and decided to make a few GIFs out of it.

Will never get tired of watching this :D

There’s an 18 minute video on the AFL website called “44 Sons”. Pretty good.

If you go to 13:20 you will see I think definitively that the Nick Daicos goal was easily touched before it crossed the line. I’m happy to put that conspiracy to bed now.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

One month left of being the reigning premiers.

Let's enjoy it while it lasts :)

We'll still remain the last Victorian club to have the won flag for at least another 12 months after Geelong's elimination yesterday :D

I'm planning to rewatch everything again this Friday night as a part of my GF marathon.
