I was at the game. In a big temporary stand they erected at the Eastern end of the ground.
That was the dumb top 8 system; 1 v 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6 and 4 v 5.
Wiggles pinched that flag.

Mick McGuane went on to coach. (was it in Tassie? ) and had some sucsess
Was noted as quie a strategic coach—-in more flexible days he was doing special comments on radio and Sydney were employing a tactic as a player with free kick would kick toward teammate nearest Sydney player ran across his path as he kicked but at a non infringement distance
Mick very early picked it up

Rewatched the footage; that was a tough mark to take, no shame in dropping those.

He's been coaching Keilor in the EDFL the past 10 years and won a couple of flags

Well really, the entire fixture was bunkas for 1994; it remains the only season where a 15 team competition that had more teams in the finals, that actually outside [7!]
https://afltables.com/afl/seas/1994.html
Yet at the time I though it to be correct and justified; my logic, why should teams finishing top 1 & 2 have to be punished playing teams 3 & 4?
Just let top teams wipe out the weaker sides ala natural selection?
And of course we nearly upset the apple cart, which had we won from eighth, would have thrown the results of 3 vs 6, and 4 vs 5 into chaos, as one of those games would have suddenly become an elimination final.
Even when Whorethorn [6th] lost to North Melbourne [3rd] in the first extra-time drawn final, their fate was still undecided pending the result of sunday's finals. Well Melbourne [7th] rolled Carlton [2nd], which was some small joy, as we would go on to lose that final game that afternoon. So bye bye Hawks
When the 16 team comp came into effect in 1995, with 8 teams in the finals, and 8 teams out, the current McIntyre system was brought in and has been with us since. Other than the idiotic thursday night finals withstanding...
And the only team the Weasels could actually beat on the MCG was Geelong. So no, we never got the Carey-Jackovich grand final dual we always thought would eventuate; another wasted finals opportunity by North Melbourne.

| I think Tony Shaw said that he went into the game with a not-yet-healed calf injury. They strapped him up and jabbed him up. He then "ripped the sh** out of it" in the first quarter. |

| And I recall two quarters ended with the umpires (P. Carey among them) not hearing the siren and letting play go on for a long time after they were supposed to end, with WCE in attack in possession of the ball... I think the scoreboard damage was just 0.1 from those two gifted chances, though, so not quite the game margin. |

Mick McGuane also coached Gisborne in the Bendigo Football League for multiple flags. I think he also had a spell at St Kilda as an assistant coach after that.

McGuane was a part-time scout for Richmond in 2005, before moving to St Kilda as an assistant coach in 2006. He left the club after Grant Thomas was sacked.
