2016 Grand Final Marathon

[footyfan1978]

By the way, why is a marathon on channel 7 and 7mate.
Is one just 15 minutes behind the other but showing the same stuff ?

How is 1954 and 1961 not on that list?

Obviously a full telecast of '54 does not exist, but there is still tons of footage of the game.
I know that Ch 7 have shown a short retrospective piece of it in the past. Why not again?

Even though the Dogs lost in '61, they should still show it, at least the 1st quarter and a few highlights.

So only in Victoria is it on channel 7 too.
Got it.

People that criticise how the game is played nowadays need to go back and watch that '81 grand final. My god that was rubbish, just mongrel punts kicked fwd to a pack and hope for the best.

Didn't think it would be possible to ruin the Scarlett toe poke moment, but as always, Channel 7 found a way. First they cut to Tim Watson and Ling in a fake living room joking about where Ling was when it happened (so funny!! He had the best seat in the house!! lol) then one millisecond after Chapman kicks the goal we cut back to them play acting about good it was as Lingy say he has to go to work. Then ads. ABYSMAL
