While re-watching the grand final DVD recently I noticed how often there was a digital clock visible in the background during play. There seems to be three digital time displays at the MCG, including on the major scoreboard, and this made me think about the possibility of putting an exact time on every major piece of play for the Bulldogs during our momentous grand final victory. Even when the players run out onto the field before play commences it is possible to catch a glimpse of the time. Also, during the presentations, the giant scoreboard in the background made the clock visible.
And so I went through the process of documenting every goal and other pieces of play which I thought were significant in helping us keep Sydney’s measure. I used the time counter on my DVD player to help keep track of what the time would be during passages when a digital clock was not visible for a couple of minutes here and there. I also put myself through a small amount of torment by watching two quarters of the 1961 grand final on YouTube to observe some of our previous grand final achievements.
I am willing to accept any suggestions if people think I might be a minute off here or there, and any ideas for inclusions of additional major happenings. Or if you think I have made any errors: for example, I have awarded our first tackle of the game to Johannisen, but if anybody thinks it should go to a different player, let me know.
