Say Brentnall overall may have been the best. Great attacking, superb in defence, unbeatable at the high ball & a huge kick that he could land on a 50 cent coin. Who can forget his amazing kick for the Steve Gearin grand final try.
Didn’t he get his kick and catch skills from junior VFL?
The beauty of that kick for Gearin, was the type of kick he put up at speed. You would not see anyone attempt a bomb on the run and nail it. I'm sure they would of rehearsed that play at training but it was magical to pull it off on a grand final.
Seeing that Gearin try live, as a 13 year old, and the ecstasy that poured out from Doggies supporters starved of success after a 38 year premiership drought, was as much of a defining moment on my journey to manhood as seeing my first Penthouse centrefold.
Oh the memories, you’re same vintage as me. I remember watching that game on Channel 7 with Rex Mossop and that try sealed the game and broke that very long drought. Up until that point I’d never been happier in my short life. Funny thing when I went outside there was a moth plague, must’ve been all those happy bulldog moths cheering after such a long drought.
The first and only time I saw my father cry was when Gearin scored that try.
Nope, just a Bulldog tragic.
Ben Barba does not get close to Daly M without Sam Kasiano.
Spot on Rod.
A game at Brookvale when just on the half time siren Dowling had the ball close to his own tryline and put up a bomb - Sloane 's effort on weeken reminded me of it
