"WA-HEEEEYYYY"

Warms up a few times, then belts it out on the siren. I will also take every opportunity to post this video.

That was a great day

That was a great day

It really was. So different to 2005.

I must have watched that montage over 1000 times now. My favourite bit of footy media ever

Nice to see Cornes reminding people who approached who.

 

[Ticky009]

Nice to see Cornes reminding people who approached who.

And the lesson is, don't tell porkies when it comes to trade with the Swans because we will correct it. Kinnear went WHAM on that one

I really like Cornes.

 

[KingV23]

I really like Cornes.

He's a good bloke.

 

[MF]

I really like Cornes.

He and Buckley are outstanding. By far my favourite football media personalities.

It is great but they managed to omit a couple of my favourite things about the game/commentary. Mattner's epic and crucial chase down tackle on the wing in the final quarter and Bruce's call of "cometh the moment, cometh the champion" for Goodesy's late goal.

Same. The Hanners goal and music change still gets me.

Yeah completely agree with those. They should both be in. LRT's crunching tackle on Hodge too.

Re: the elite Mattner effort, I don't know if I'll ever change my profile pic, even though it has brought disgusting accusations of my being a Hawks fan from the uneducated.

I still get tingles when I recall that tackle by Matner. Calm, smart and understood the moment - like all great Swans defenders

 

[hairy biker]

Love how we not only now have a NSW based AFL reporter but that he is basically barracking for us.

Also puts to rest the story that Freo paid for Chad and Alice's stay in WA, when it was actually his manager who 'arranged the stay'.

 

[Tippett2Goal]

Matt Roberts extends

Emerging defender Matt Roberts has extended his time in the red and white until at least the end of 2027.

Grand moves: AFL ponders concessions for non-Victorian clubs on footy’s biggest day

Chris Fagan has explained to the league the vast differences experiencing a grand final as Brisbane Lions coach and as a senior football executive with Hawthorn.

www.smh.com.au

One club president from outside Victoria observed: “You’re treated like it’s the America’s Cup and you’re the challenger.”

But the fact that Sydney played their last home-and-away game for the season at the MCG in round seven and Collingwood play seven of their last eight at the grand final venue underlines the home-ground advantage. While second-placed Carlton play fewer games at the MCG (nine in season ’24) the Blues travel from Melbourne just twice in their last 11 home-and-away games.

The following instances might seem petty, but they are also symbolic. In 2015 West Coast entered the finals as ladder leaders but were placed below Hawthorn on the MCG scoreboard on grand final day with the Hawks also handed first choice of venue for their post-match function.

In 2016 at the grand final parade both handles of the premiership cup were tied with the Bulldogs’ coloured ribbons of red, white and blue. Cup ambassador Michael O’Loughlin asked for one handle to be changed to adorn Sydney’s red and white but was refused.

Absolutely excellent by Fagan and the other coaches including Longmire.

On a par with Malceski's last goal in terms of match winning. Copybook and elite defensive play.

Omg I feel somewhat vindicated by this! I said this last year:

I dunno, I remember they had to re-do the ribbons on the cup the morning of the GF parade because they had red, white & blue ribbons on both handles.

That sentence makes me sound like a loon but it was aired on Fox Footy and they were literally laughing about it.

And no one else chimed in to say they remembered it and I thought I was losing it!

Nice pickup c88.
It’s as if the AFL weren’t even bothered covering their tracks with the robbery’s pre-written script!
