Don Scott and Leigh Matthews didn’t talk in the centre square or anywhere for that matter.
I’ve heard Leigh mention it, simply said, we played well together but we didn’t have anything to talk about. So we didn’t.
Phonse Kyle would be upper medium bucket (like Robert Walls, Paul Roos, and others. He was terrific.
I met his widow once, was a thrill. Had a bit of a chat. But I digress.
Coleman was uber elite. Superstar.

Plus ladies will always play in a different tempo and strength to the Mens game.
Like Tennis, golf, athletics and...
Could have been.
Just loved her run, was terrific.
Best thing I saw in both games - that sort of effort, makes me smile.
If Prized Icon could have chased down Hey Doc in the guineas today at Flemington then maybe, I'd have smiled more
Interesting point first game v grand final.
I'd take grand final myself, but fair enough if first time is more for you.
Interesting example, I was at the first ever AFL appearance of Port Adelaide (against us, they lost )
And Port Adelaides first grand final which they won.
