I'm not sure he could have got there in time to make the shepherd Phanto, but when I watch the tape I'll double check.

Predictable - Richo really doesn't like you does he
Richo was in the goal square with his opponent, if he ran towards Jack to shepherd Mattner Richo's opponent could have followed him and tackled Jack.
Richo led away from Jack - the samrt thing to do in that 1. it gave Jack on option to pass it to him although this was never really needed if Jack wasn't so slow getting off the mark and 2. it made richo's opponent have to decide whether to remain in the goal square or move away from Jack and follow Richo.
IMO Morton should have looked to shepherd after getting the handball off or at least provided Jack with a warning - as usal after a RFC player gets rid of the ball his job is done - no block/shepherd/talk needed.
Phantom said:
Too right Phantom.
Richo was screaming "KICK IT TO ME. KICK IT TO ME." But Jack backed himself.
Richo should have been yelling " Your hot Jack, your hot Jack" while he came in and laid a shepherd to protect Jack as he leveled the scores.
SELL FISH RICHO.

thats some command of the game you've got Celcius. Are you a coach? Couple of your-hot-jacks and Richo could have been a hero.

COULDA SHOULDA WOULDA. But he didn't do the team thing did he. Or is it called a ONE PERCENTER?
Then Richo would have shared the hero status....with Jack.....but its not Richo's style lately is it....sharing I mean.

I'm just impressed that Fahrenheit could hear all that through the TV, remarkable really
Mitch: "Take your time, we're trying to lose this one"
Jack: "*smile*, thanks for reminding me. Who could forget the scolding I got last week for kicking 3"
Mitch: "Yeah, that was bloody funny. Hey, you could handball it to richo for a send-off goal, but why bother he's never kicked it to me".
Jack: "Oh, come on Mitch, he's not that bad. Destroyed Sarge's career and sent Otto packing to Geelong, but he's looked after me because I'm a Tasmanian".
Mitch: "*smile* in-b...."
Jack gets tackled.

Actually, for those of us old enough to remember, a similar thing happened in the 1975 preliminary final against the eventual premiership winners, North.
The Tiges had played poorly throughout the first half of the game but were inspired into a 3rd qtr comeback when club hero Royce Hart came onto the ground. Might have been just before or just after half time.
Ten minutes into the last quarter the Tiges were less than a goal behind.
Michael Green went up to grab a mark in the goal square against two opponents, Dench & Gumbleton, as I loosely recall. A goal would have put the Tigers into the lead for a chance at their 3rd consecutive premiership.
Seeing his two opponents on the ground, Green went to play on to kick a goal. In an instant, I think Gumbleton recovered, got up and tackled Green before he had a chance to kick the ball. It dribbled through for a behind. The ball was rebounded for an immediate North goal.
North rebalanced and went on to win fairly comfortably. The following week North went on to run the Hawkers off their feet in a thrashing to win their first ever premiership.
The Tigers were left to ponder what might have been.
For the record, that preliminary was Bartlett's worst ever game in a final for Richmond. His kicks (and Bartlett didn't give any handballs) could be counted on one hand. And he was first rover then.

Anyway I thought it would be fun to put some captions to the photo..from the perspective of any of the players involved
Jack: "Hey Mitch look behind you, the Swans fans are leaving early, cos its ALL OVAAAAA"
