Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

So this, they nail the actual game.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

Absolutely nailed it.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

Nailed it.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

All right.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

They didn't nail everything else, though.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

And that is pretty well the rest of our segment.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

And there's a lot of fun to be had here.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

All right, so the hits and misses.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

This is an absolute hit here, Shannon Gill, from the centenary celebrations of the AFL.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

So I'd like to see that ad, which started in 1994 and had continued on, went through most of the 90s,

They had been sporting identities generally up until 1996.

Whateley

So they thought centenary year, we're going to go bigger, bolder, and better than just getting sports stars.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

So they have John Lee Hooker, Heather Locklear, who was...

The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

Big at the time on Melrose Place, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and then US comedian George Burns.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

This is the backstory.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

The backstory with this is that George Burns was turning 100 in 1996.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

And he turned 100 early in 1996.

Whateley
The Centenary | Know Your History with Shannon Gill (07.05.26)

Therefore, he was the same age as the league, even though we've worked through that, that that might not have been quite right.
