Anyone know exactly what Bomber Thompson said to the players at the 1/2 and 3/4 time break of the grand final?

Anyone know exactly what Bomber Thompson said to the players at the 1/2 and 3/4 time break of the grand final?

According to the Geelong premiership souvenir book, Bomber told them at 3/4 time he wanted another 10 minutes of good football out of them in the last quarter, then they could start celebrating. The players decided they wanted to really bury Port, so wanted to play good football for a lot longer than that, and only really celebrated with about three minutes to go.

I suppose I could look it up but where (and what is it?) can I get the Geelong premiership souvenir book?

Cool mate. Only $15?! What the?! Man, thats awesome. Is it possible the GFC marketing department were still celebrating themselves when they set the price?

Giddyup!

At 3/4 time they were told," any player that takes his foot off the pedal will not get a game next week"

I remember an article the day after the GF featuring Brenton Sanderson where he said what Bomber told the players at 3/4 time. Unfortunately, I've collected so many newspapers over the last few weeks that I can't find it at the moment. When I do I'll post what he said.

Here it is:

"Bomber's speech at three-quarter-time was great, about keeping the respect of the football world and not showboating and playing like cowboys. The players really put the foot down in the last quarter and still outscored them, so credit to Bomber. He has had a great year as coach and no one was prouder than him of our players," assistant coach Brenton Sanderson said.

You're a legend catempire.

Yeah I remember it was something classy, respect Bomber

They make it hard not to be proud, don't they?

Would've been more impressed if his 3qtr time address was short, concise and straight to the point. Something like

"Bugs not getting first shout"
