Looking at all of this and remembering the calls that go with them...unfortunately we have BT & Ling et al calling this great moment instead of Cometti "Cork in the ocean" or Roberts "set sail for home" even Quatermain's "Hunter...HUNterr...HUNNNTERRR" I guess in fairness it was a set shot but still the combo above were never going to give us anything iconic.
And then comparing Bruce talking nonsense about Optus Stadium right before the siren as opposed to Huddo’s sequel as good as the original etc.
 
But they are the best at different categories. Matera's was inspirational, Chick & Hunter's was selfless teamwork
Sheed was just cold blooded and with the weight on that kick having to suck in the big ones with Collingwood supporters spitting teeth at you degree of difficulty goes through the roof.

Quarterbrain sucked as a commentator. All he did was repeat the player's name 3 times or call someone a star. Always found it to be shit.

Didn't mind BT and Bruce's call of the game. The moment makes the commentary for me. TBH I always found Huddo's "sequel" commentary pretty lame and obviously pre-prepared.

Yeah but repeating the players name 3 times doesn't take anything away from it. BT & Bruce just kept asking questions and BT starting everything with "Gee" if it doesn't have "Vennables has some skills" whats the point of it.

It doesn't, and it's great because of the moment for sure. Quarterbrain being in the moment and you can feel it. But that's all he did. Year before in the QF it was Sampi... Sampi... SAMPIIIII!!!!!!!! He did it all the damn time. Even earlier in the last quarter of the 06 GF, he did the "Schneider... Schneider..... SCHNEIDER!!!!".

BT's actually a good caller when he doesn't act like a twit. He calls the moment goals with some variety in his own way. Bruce is more of a rehasher but I think he did the build to the siren so well.
 
Gone for Sheed because I was there and he was cool as a cucumber going back to slot it while me and the old boy basically had our head in our hands shitting bricks (the jagged solid kind not the ones with holes in them). The celebration from the players and the crowd was absolutely epic.
 
Derm (of all people) made the point of looking at Sheed's non-kicking foot and how it didn't even leave the ground. The bloke was just perfectly poised.

I love the Matera setting sail for home, but in the context of the game - Sheed is far and away the more important goal.
 
You may have mashed multiple Sandy quotes together there. :p

"Matera sets sail for home... and the EAGLES.... HIT THE FRONT!"

It was later on when we were purring that he went with, "And the Eagles say catch us if you can."

He warmed up with the "sets sail" call in a previous Matera goal, too.

"Matera sets sail for home, with a MIGHTY kick... and the EAGLES.... have hit the front!"
