Yeah of the testicular & heart variety because those are two important things for a footballer that he's always lacked, he's the overrated key forward version of Troy Chaplin.

Hated that movie with a passion since the day it came out in 1984. I was nine years-old.
We watched in school one day near the end of the term. Got kicked out of class coz I laughed and cheered when that stupid horse died.
HAHA, EAT S#IT ARTAX!!! YOU TOO, SEBASTIAN!!!

I have never though Moore is big bodied. He either has heavy bones or the stats of some of the big body mids are wrong. Kennedy is big bodied 188cm - 96kgs. That makes him as big as Bobby.
They played McEvoy because he was a big body over Ceglar by about 8-10kgs as well as more experienced.
When I called for Harvey to play against Freo in rd 23 against Sandilands to help out Lobbe and I said with the instructions of running and jumping into Sandilands at every opportunity and drive his knees and elbows into Sandilands a few people said - oh you are going to get a 19 year old kid to give away lots of free kicks. I said that was rubbish they should open their eyes and see how the game is played.
No better example of what I meant - all legal - than what the seal clubber Mike Pyke did as he beautifully drove his knee into McEvoy at a centre bounce and got him high on the thigh near his hip. All legal and McEvoy was useless for a quarter or so.

A new heart?
Exactly how I saw it.
Mitchell was a monster in that first half. Hodgey was huge, too. But Mitchell!
Won't see a better half of footy from one bloke...

Oh I agree. Moore might be our prototype of that kind of midfielder but he is not a patch on a few of the Hawks mids in terms of quickly spotting and cleanly hitting a target. There was a time when people used to bash Sam Mitchell about his disposal skills. And if you're going to Pkye someone as a few of the Hawks did, you need to have the experience and composure to do it cleanly, legally and in cold blood like Lake and Gibson on a few of the Swans forwards early on. Mike P didn't do much else on the day bar win hot outs, but those he did win got strangled each time they went out the back. It's like the Hawks were set up for a Sydney trying to play at being Geelong in a funny way, and Sydney trying to generate outside run that way got caught time and again and there didn't seem to be any plan B. Call the borderline, physical side of it antisocial footy but it's grand final winning stuff now.

Rougheads hit on hannebury was all class, totally legal yet brutal and effective.
Haha - Rougheads name auto-corrected to Rough wads on my phone.

Yep that was a beauty.
GF day rolls around and, despite my "I don't care!" sooks, I got sucked in by the occasion. Love how it becomes bigger and bigger every year. Only bad thing about the last day in September is no footy for six months or so.
Some nice young Mormon missionaries wanted to tell me about our Jesus, Our Lord, Our Saviour on the way to the pub. Sorry fellas, the Grand Final starts in five and I'm running late. Besides, I was raised Catholic so I know all that s#it anyway.
Get to the pub. It's got a MONSTER screen. Like, a whole wall. But they can't get it to work. So we watch the early stages on the TV screens. Until they get the monster screen to work. But no sound. So they stuff around the whole first quarter trying to get sound. Late in the first term, they get sound.
But it's the juekbox blaring.
So we're watching the game with Cold Chisel commentary. At this point, just about the whole pub walks out and heads to the next pub. Now the atmosphere is completely s#ithouse coz there's only about five of us left.
By the time the second quarter starts, they work out the sound. Now we have commentary. But the speaker static is so loud we can barely hear what Dennis and Special Bruce are saying.
Toughed it out until half-time and moved on to the next pub. Only TV screens but a bigger crowd and buzzing atmosphere. To the left of me, a middle-aged couple had a domestic for the whole second-half. It ended with the middle-aged woman belting her bloke across the face. The middle-aged man then ran around the pub holding his face, screaming:
"She bashed me! You all saw it! You're all witnesses!"
To the right of me, I'm pretty sure a first date was going on. And I thought it was going pretty bad. Especially when the rat-arsed bloke told the relatively sober chick a story about s#itting his pants. Then they disappeared. And apparently went for a quickie somehwere. So what do I know. Oh, and, he was married.
And apparently a game of footy of some importance was played, too...

That the one in the goal-square in the first quarter?
If so, I turned to the random bloke next to me and said:
"Hawks are on here."
Just wasn't sure they could sustain that for four quarters.
Yep, they could...
More than anything, I really enjoyed the dummy-spits from all my arrogant, s#it-talking, bandwagon Swannies mates...
Well....that was a fizzer...... great build up, its a pity that it was over in the early in the 2nd qtr....game over........
The Hawks just monstered them in the contested footy, especially in the middle with their magnificent 4, Hodge, Lewis, Mitchell & Burger...

Tippett did more for the PAFC then Chaplin ever did.
They should have been gone, the Hawks, and they knew this. They had their second chance, today, and they made the most of it.

Never really cared who won, sort of going for the swans. Really just bought into this 'grand final we all wanted' bullshit from the afl and broadcasters. Hoping for an epic contest just for drinking and interest.
Swans bought their skirts and the hawks were ruthless, they were just brutal. Thought the swans would take off their skirts at quarter time, you know caus of the 'bloods' and all that - after ten minutes of the second quarter it was clear the swans would have their dresses on for the day. Ended up packing away the beer and getting out and mowing the lawn.

That was the best part of it for me - the fact that this was billed as the contest the AFL wanted between the two best teams. "If Port had gotten in, it would have been nice for the fairytale finish, but yeah, nah, Hawks and Swans will give us a beauty", they said.
You get what you deserve.

Reckon swans culture on the slide. They lacked their usual blue collar style footy. But credit to hawks. They were hungry. Watched port preliminary final again. Just proves to me ports premiership windows is now!
