Allan Jeans' Pay the Price speech

[foschini]

I recorded a whole lot of 1989 Grand Final players for my book '1989 The Great Grand Final'. This is a lot of Hawthorn players talking about Jeans' Pay the Price speech - Dipper, Dermott, Langford, Wittman, Ayres, Anderson.

Here's more about 1989 Grand Final book.

 

[Dinsdale]

thanks, that was a good listen!

Obviously needs to be upgraded to Legend like every other 4x VFL Premiership Coach. Was not good enough once the competition was no longer a minor suburban affair.

Grow up mate. Jeans had 1988 off because of ill health. He returned and coached the Hawks to the 89 flag after Alan Joyce coached them to the 88 flag. He then retired again at the end of 1990 and Joyce got to coach the Hawks to the 91 flag.

Jeans made a comeback to coaching at Richmond in 1992 and only lasted a year before ill health forced his permanent retirement from coaching.

Probably should be recognised as a six-time premiership coach.

It's an interesting curiosity that the best game of VFL football ever played*, was also the last game of VFL football ever played.

*Yes, I know it doesn't hurt that it was captured on colour TV and apologies to the 1970 GF.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Dipper working blue is terrific.

Loved the book as a neutral. Great effort to re-tell such a well known story and keep it fresh and interesting. Cheers

Watched it again the other day. Such a good game and props to the Cats for almost one of the greatest come backs of all time

 

[threesixpio]

And I love you Dermie. Forever

A Suburban record is probably better than the Oatey and Cahill comparitvely backyard records.

Best game ever...you have to be kidding. Geelong's non existent backline led by Darcy Shulze and Hocking handed Hawthorn too many easy goals all Fc#$ing day long. The Geelong would have won if the game went another 5 mins is one of the fairy tales of AFL football. And I will never understand why Yeates did not finish Brerton when he obviously had the chance should have belted him in a fashion even Jeans would have been proud of!

Dermie is indestructible. To imagine otherwise is the curse of those with feline instincts

Why can't we just agree Jeans, Oatey & Cahill were great coaches & ignore the troll.

 

[MW Zoo]

Always loved Allan jeans and I've never heard that great Richmond speech before. Great podcast!

Yeah that's part of what made it the best game in VFL/AFL history - the high scoring. And it's also part of what made the narrative of the game so engrossing - Geelong with a few absolute cloggers but also one of the top 5 players to ever play the game, vs Hawthorn who were one of most even sides in football history.

I can't blame Hocking. Man played the game out with split bollock. Ouch.

Jeans once again busted balls

Incredible game, props to the Hawks for enduring the physicality and refusing to give in in the end. Just will to win.

Are you thick? West Coast were in the comp and didn't make it any harder..Why on earth would you have a go at Allan Jeans?

 

[1980GFVideo]

Dipper working blue is terrific.

Never realised how difficult it must have been for him to make sure he didn't drop a four letter word when on Channel 7.

Seemed as if he was enjoying having the shackles off.

 

[PayThePrice]

i personally endorse this thread

4 x VFL > 8 x WAFL/SANFL/NEAFL/TSL

Everyone knows it. A few wont admit it.

Yes but you are overlooking the run and carry of The Prince Bruce Lidner
