Tiprat still feels sick thinking about it... there's a positive

Ben Johnson is fantastic. Straight up. No bullshit. Great show so far.

That was awesome. Great interviews from both teams.

Gut wrenching stuff. Made me feel sick all over again.

Eddie talking about Bob Rose's wife sitting alone and in tears at three quarter time.

Geez, the footy gods were with us that day when the ball bounced out of Milne's reach.

Fascinating though that Eddie was so insistent on still having the function because he believed that leaving the players to their own devices after the 1977 draw was the wrong decision. Also, very high praise for MM from Eddie. Mick's speech at the function was " Mick's finest hour".

With my DVD of that game still in its plastic wrapper like Stui said and having never watched the game again, I didn't realize how Clokey missed those two gettable shots. Some things never change!

Fascinating insight, it a reminder of just how fickle footy can be, and how close we were to total disaster that day.

I almost felt sorry for the Saints, but we've been the victim of just as much bad luck, disappointment and heartbreak as anybody. And we've suffered it in a world where everyone thinks they have license to express glee at our suffering.

We earned 2010, and we did it the hard way.

Johnno was brilliant. The show was far too oriented towards the saints loss. Phuck 'em I say.

We were by far the best team that year and only our inaccurate kicking for goal let them into the game in the drawn GF. We should have won by heaps....and that's what we did the following week.

Unlike some of you, I've actually rewatched the drawn GF at least half a dozen times. It was nothing short of an incredible contest that could've - but didn't - go either way. Another minute or a few lucky bounces and some accurate kicking would've no doubt changed the outcomes but it wasn't to be. I remember watching the game with my dad at the rising sun hotel. They had tv screens of opposite sides of the wall so whenever someone kicked a goal it was like we were all shouting at each other. I walked out at one point because I was almost sick with nervous tension. We hadn't kicked a goal for ages only for leon to pull one out of nowhere. Then they mounted another challenge which we answered and the rest is history.

I thought it was a great retelling of an amazing yet bizarre day that will never be experienced in that form ever again. All the players reflected well on the day and were honest with their thoughts. We recovered better and that obviously showed the following week when we smashed them. I reckon they were emotionally and physically stuffed too. McGuire learned from past mistakes and kept things in order - hosting the club function while the aints went home to bed which is what our club did in 77.

Just think how different things would've been had Cloke nailed his two shots before half time or if those 5 points we kicked in the third could've been goals. We'll never know. Dawes running in to an open goal and bangs it home, daisy snaps one through and Blair's shot bends back to sneak home. That's three right there. We lost the plot in the third and it was a fight to the death in the fourth. But the draw meant I got a ticket the following week cos the corporates missed out. That was a true GF for the fans.
