Most rewatchable scenes from the 100 years of Australian football film.
And Durham in the 89 grand final.
So the structure of it, it's a series of vignettes, either of individuals or triumphs of clubs or tragedies or controversies, which is...
brilliantly conceived and it's roughly chronological except that this it opens it opens here and there's the most extraordinary filmmaking technique here there is a shot that goes for 2 minutes and 20 seconds
And it's of an ill Dermot Bradson trotting down the field.
My most rewatchable scene is the story of John Coleman.
Which is just astonishing to hear it retold in the manner that it is with the footage that does and doesn't exist.
It tells the story of Coleman's rise and then the harassment that he was subjected to.
And this is where it's all happened before.
The numbers that would play against him, the tactics that were used, his objections to that, where he almost storms out of the preliminary final because he won't be treated like that again.
He grabbed me down here.
Yeah.
Gets suspended.
So misses the grand final, plays 98 games for 540 goals.
Career cut short.
Yeah.
Then coaches two premierships.
Two premierships.
And the moral of the tale is very few champion players go on to become premiership coaches.
So he fulfills that journey.
