I was doing a few things around the house today so I chucked some finals in the ears (afl app so it has the ch 7 commentary). A couple of things:
- cats game. Dusty kicks long to Townsend who marks (he goes on to snap a goal) BT is talking up Towner's stats. With the earplugs in you can hear someone whisper "1 goal" then BT says "and he's kicked a goal" . it was a funny insight to the commentary as it plays out in real time.
- I made the mistake of mowing the nature strip while listening to the last qtr of the grand final. My neighbours must think I'm going through some sort of trauma or have emotional issues, as I kept tearing up at certain moments. I'm a grown man for goodness sake! The game was weeks ago! It STILL gets me! Ah what a team to barrack for!

For mine the funniest action of the Cats games was in the first quarter. After marking Jack's kick across goal and then quickly passing off to Caddy directly in front 15 meters out, Dusty's gives a little wink to Touhey, the man he had just out-marked and outwitted. Dusty has loved playing against Touhey, Blues, Cats et al.
Must admit, I'm curious to listen to some of the other commentary other than the ch 7 team. Haven't heard much else for the finals series. My understanding is that the DVD's have other commentary teams you can listen to? Think I may order the box set of all three finals.
Only radio commentary I heard was for the first 5 mins of the last qtr against GWS when I was driving to the pub to catch the last qtr with mates. On there, the coverage of Dusty's banana goal was phenomenal. Crowd was so loud, the speakers went static and you couldn't hear the commentators. At that point I nearly crashed the car roaring uncontrollably while banging on the steering wheel!

every time I describe the moment, to non-citizens of Tigerland, that I hugged my son in the last quarter and said
"weve won the flag son, and we are here. look around. soak it up. weve seen the tigers win the premiership"
I have to stop and breath away the emotion, so I can finish without blubbering.
actually got pretty wet eyes writing now. :'(
Yep there the moments, still getting people saying "congrats" an asking " are you still on a high?" an a sudden euphoria comes across the body and it starts to sink in a little more as I say I'm still on the way up, actually don't know if the thrill will ever go away when thinking of what September 30 2017 bought to all of us Tigers, the roar emotion of it has not gone down one little bit . Life is completeeasy said:
Watched pieces of a few of the games over the last day , but the one thing I keep going back to watch is the presentations , number 1 Nick Vlaustinnnnn
One other thing, I'm not sure how many of you have heard the " think the Tiges will do what the Dogs did next year" I'm finding the " I don't give a flying *smile* what happens next year , we are the 2017 premiers FACT" seems to work well when answering any jealous flog.
The DVD is awesome and has aw, sen and mmm as well as channel 7. You can buy it at jb hifi and probably lots of other placesPanthera Tigris said:
By listening to the commentary you can work out who are the clueless ones in hindsight. Brayshaw, Lyon no idea... idiots
Mick Malthouse was spot on most of the game. Even at quarter time he said the Tigers would be happy with the way the game is going despite being behind. Others just look at the scoreboard
Absolutely correct Sin ... I picked up bluray from jb’s last week and watched it again listening to AW. Lloyd is a flog, but I loved his call in the first - “Graham has a run with role on Sloane and that’s not the right move.” :rofl :rofl he’s got no clues.
Interestingly, I was chatting to an acquaintance on the weekend who develops software for a few big rolling professional gamblers. AFL is one of the areas he has done this for. As you can imagine, it's all very statistically based, not emotionally. It's certainly not full proof. Like for example, he said last year the software was always about 2-3 weeks statistically behind the Doggies' real world progress. So didn't tip them as premiers at any point. But seems to be fairly close to form more often than it's not.
He said, for most of the 2017 season, the software was tipping Adelaide as most likely premier, but not as clearly as many in the media would have thought. It had Sydney as marginal second favourite for much of the second half of the season, then us, GWS and Geelong pretty much as equal third favourites.
However he said someting interesting happened in the late part of the season. The Geelong loss at Kardinia actually caused the programme to make us pull marginally clear of Geelong (and GWS). The reason being that the computer rates Geelong a 3-4 goal better side in Geelong, so us losing tightly was statistically a win (if that makes sense). It also factored in that we played a man short for most of the game and that some of our best players were down on their statistical averages and rated it an anomaly (it looks for longer term trends on individual player performance).
Then futhermore, the flogging of Fremantle was the first week that his programme had us as leapfrog Sydney and Adelaide into marginal premiership favouritism. Then pulling slightly further ahead with the big St.Kilda win. From that point onwards his software had us clearly as premiership favourites and Adelaide as a clear second. Think one of his clients cleaned up, putting a pretty big outright bet on us after the Freo win, others making marginal profits, having more of a hedge strategy.
