What was the final play at the MCG that decided the Hawthorn vs Geelong thriller?

Unknown 0:00

Breakfast with Gary and Tim. O'Sullivan's got options inside. 50, just a little too strong initially. Butzav's off hands. Oh, what a snap from the veteran! Deconing picked off Watson from the pockets. Oh, that's magical! Oh, left behind by Stewart. Mavio! Don't fall over, Mavio! Kick the goal! Who's going to be the hero? Who's going to be the jumper? It's got to be Neil! Shannon Neill, he plays on, it wasn't 15. Lewis is the target, got it! Got it at the top of the square! Big men at either end. Trump's huge. The Hawks might win it. Moore knocks it down. Still a chance for Scramble. They can't rush it through the Cats. Last on his defence. Cut down. Goal. Post. No. Yes. Post are behind. The Hawks lead. There's play on. There's confusion.

Unknown 0:57

They're going to win it with a poster at the net. The Hawks break the Geelong stranglehold in a match worthy of the rivalry.

Garry (host) 1:10

You will not get a better call than that. Unbelievable. This is your home of football right here, SEN. They've called every game that's been played this year, including practice matches, every single game and sometimes three calls of the same game. Home of football.

Tim Watson 1:23

Nobody out there does it better than this radio station when it comes to calling big games.

Garry (host) 1:29

No, they don't. And the call of that game was fantastic from the pipe and from Gerard and from Simmo as well and special comments. So well done to everyone involved yesterday. It was an outstanding game of footy and we're unpacking it now and you can join in and have your say. It was... It wasn't the most skilled game. There was a horrendous... Well, not horrendous. The mistakes that were made in that last quarter. I was just writing them down as we went. John Newcombe, who never fumbles and double grabs, had about three fumbles and a slip over. Blitzer kicks the most unbelievable left foot snap goal of all time and then misses everything with a right foot snap in a one-point game. Holmes, no mark being paid to Holmes, and I don't think they were too impressed with that, the Geelong people.

Garry (host) 2:11

Did that travel the... required distance it went one full mowing strip and a half a mowing strip okay so we know the curator at the mcg listens to our program each and every morning are they 10 meter mowing strips or are they nine well i had a look at it this morning it was a full mowing strip and a half a strip no mark paid then it was smothered and that's when it spat out the blitzars watson's watson then pickpocketed the coning magnificent tommy stewart ran over the top of a footy Just my eyes, I'm looking at them, rubbing my eyes, thinking I've never seen that before. That ends up in a goal. Humphreys turns it over. Then Moore has his choice of Chole or Gunston running forward. Chole's on the left, Gunston's on the right, and he kicks it to Chole, and there was this groan.

Garry (host) 2:54

Oh, no. And he misses. And he missed twice.

How did SEN commentators describe the atmosphere and call of yesterday’s MCG game?

Garry (host) 2:58

The end that goes back in the middle, the Reeves tap out to Newcombe was just sublime. That ends up in a goal. And then Sisley, it's even. There's about 40 seconds on the clock. Sisley's off with a shoulder injury. The ball's won out of the centre by the Cats. Kicked long to centre-half forward with the games on the line. And he effectively takes an uncontested mark. How the hell that happens is beyond me.

Tim Watson 3:21

You know when they kick that ball out from the point after the last behind score by Hawthorne, how much time was on the clock then? I think 13 seconds. Okay, so it wasn't really, because if the game doesn't recommence, is that time on then? So the game doesn't then restart until... It comes out of the square. It comes out of that square, does it? Yeah. So maybe on reflection, I mean, there's a lot going on at the time, but would 13 seconds have been enough had they just done the big torp down the middle of the ground and set up differently?

Garry (host) 3:46

It was in the 87 prelim, but I don't know. They would have got it down in the end there. I was wondering whether they brought it in too quickly and whether, in fact, the umpire had signalled or not.

Tim Watson 3:55

How good was Jack Kinnivan yesterday? Unreal. He's positioning.
