You forgot to throw in an episode of "Hey Dad!" from 1987, "Now You See It" from 1991, and an Elvis Movie in the afternoon.

Hmmm...would love it if it was a Geelong v Hawthorn GF..then the last match anyone sees before the breakfast would be 1989 by choice (no complaints?) Good!

I'd go this way:

Carl v Coll - 1970 (may as well get it out of the way first up - from half-time);
Adel v St. K - 1997 (Jars)
Melb v Coll - 1964 (Gabbo and Neil Crompton)
Haw v Foots - 1961 (3rd term)
St. K v Coll - 1966 (Breen)
WCE v Geel - 1992 (3rd term)
Rich v Geel - 1967 (Hart)
North v Coll - 1977 (drawn)
Bris v Ess - 2001 (3rd term)
Ess v Haw - 1984 (Duckworth and Baker)
North v Syd - 1996 (any quarter)
Coll v Ess - 1990 (Millane at the end)
Geel v Haw - 1963 (Bobby's Dazzlers)
Haw v Geel - 1989 (the greatest ever)

pretty good

For Friday night next week, highlights of these GFs are possible...

Port Adelaide - 2004 GF WIN not in Channel 7 Archive
Sydney - 2005 GF WIN not in Channel 7 Archive

I'm just glad they are bothering to do one this year at all. Was expecting Jessica Pimpson and ProActiv instead.

I don't see much of an issue using 10 footage for these games as 7 did a full replay of the 2004 GF earlier this year.

As much as everyone bags 7 and salivates over 10, it's great to see 7 continue with the GF marathon. Never seen 10 do one before - they stick to the ProActiv and Benny Hinn.

 

[Flashhh]

So to entertain us for 3 hours we have the host of Yum Cha, and some Sydney flog.

bahahaha. He Channel 7's equivelent of the blonde guy from 'Shopping for Love.'

God i hate channel 7

 

[pazza]

pretty good

The difficulty with what 7 has got is that so few clubs won flags from 1961-2001.

Hawthorn won all of theirs (9).
Essendon won 6.
Carlton won 7.
Richmond won 5.
North won all of theirs (4).

Doesn't leave a lot of room to move.

 

[LIONS then DAYLIGHT]

Do they releaes the 'playlist' before hand or is it a case of wait and see what is played on the tele?

wait and see, but the two lists in this thread seem to be the games we'll see

Could have been in Adelaide only where they showed a full replay of the '04 GF on 7 using 10 footage, but I find that quite odd if true.

10 probably had their hands tied behind their back from the very beginning with FOXTEL insisting they will continue the "marathon" tradition...except their footage is limited to tired old black and white ABC footage from the late 60s and early 70s and GFs since 2002, their marathons suck

Glad to see it back on 7 who have the better selection of games to choose from

 

[LeeARM]

is the grand final live this year?

 

[bo waters for PM]

is the grand final live this year?

course its live!! why wouldnt it be?? NEVER has a GF been DELAYED!

 

[FootyJunkie]

course its live!! why wouldnt it be?? NEVER has a GF been DELAYED!

LIVE GFs didn't stat until 1977 (the draw), so the GFs before would have been showed as a replay later.

 

[Warnock2Judd2Fev]

So to entertain us for 3 hours we have the host of Yum Cha, and some Sydney flog.

You have to wonder who makes these decisions.

Bring back the days of the u/18's and Reserves playing before the GF, at least it filled in the day with something worth watching. Think I'll turn the TV on at 2.30 in time for the bounce.....

Fremantle - NO GF WIN

and why no 2006

Its 10 seconds delayed,

 

[FootyJunkie]

i love hearing that

I don't think Channel 7 will use Channel 10 footage.

Hopefully, now that 10 has covered footy for 7 years, and have some juicy coverage built up in their archives, perhaps they can do a marathon of sorts from finals from this decade starting next year.

Aww, I was hoping for an encore presentation of 'Kochie takes on the Credit Crunch'

 

[FootyJunkie]

Aww, I was hoping for an encore presentation of 'Kochie takes on the Credit Crunch'

Only if Port made the GF.

 

[disgruntled goat]

She's hot and thus worth watching, way ahead of Daddo

Although if she pumps up Geelong constantly (as she's done in the past when refering to AFL), i'll vomit!

Exactly!
I'll happily watch Rebecca Maddern sitting quietly, saying nothing, maybe sipping water, she's gorgeous!
But it'd have to be without seeing OR hearing Daddo. He was a *ingg disgrace on that bastard of a show at the Olympics, and apparently knows less about football.
And after all that, I've gotta listen to Bruce "May as well be a Daddo" Macavaney. Probably have to turn the radio on.

 

[Red Crow]

So was it just me or was Daddo boned from the coverage?

Don't recall seeing him.
