Thanks thejinx for your efforts.
After watching it you do realise how much Knighta stood out in that first half. He could have had 5 identical running/bouncing goals for the game if he'd kicked straight on the last two. Freakish effort really.
I love the second half of that third quarter. The crowd firing up after Daffy scored from that free kick (bronx cheers for the umps) to get within 4 goals.
That's when Turner starting impacting majorly starting with a great goal from the throw in;
Robbo: "Ruck contest in the pocket, taken out of the air by Charles is it? No it's Turner! Richmond get the two goals that they were badly seeking"
Then the big bump on O'Donnell. I now realise that there was no commentary for the bump - it happened off camera as Daffy was driving the ball off the half back line. You could hear a big ooooh from the crowd at the time though. The first mention of it was leading up to the Naish goal shortly after;
MacAvaney: "O'Donnells down behind play, here's Campbell through the centre, little one to centre half forward, they weren't looking the Tigers! - he gave it up, hip & shoulder's ok, it goes forward, Naish is a great finisher, he surely will kick the goal, he has! they're back! they're back in business!"
Then Scotty's perfect handball to Daffy running through half forward;
Robbo: "Turner back to Daffy, if they get one here - have a listen to this, have a listen to this!"
Scotty was involved in the next goal when he spoiled the ball down to Daffy who then was held for a free kick;
Robbo: " He kicks it inside 50, marking contest, Naish, snapshot by Naish is coming around, it's a goal!
The crowd noise for the Daffy & Naish goals was goosebump material.
Other things I'd forgotton were how quiet Benny Gale & Justin Charles were, how reliable a defender Tape was, Rogers' impact (tarnished a bit with errors).
but were only a few days away from a refresh.
