This popped up today on youtube from the same round.
The Winners episode also saw but forgot to find where link is to add here but will look again tomorrow and see where it is.

Here is that round 21 Winners episode on ABC tv in that year.

If the AFL ever put the return of Fitzroy to the AFL to a vote, I'd wholeheartedly vote yes. What a team they had in those years.

Love Bosustow's marking style - flying high, turning his body to take a big chest mark in a pack.
What is he wearing on his head?

It was a head guard, the likes of which I've never seen again. Easily removed, it did not cover his head, just the cranial circumference

How good was Drew Morphett?

Wish there where commentators like him these days, rather than the clowns on 7.

as dull a sporting commentator as was ever born - he could make the 100 metre olympic sprint final sound like a midsummer murders marathon...........

Exactly. Perfect.

Let the game speak for itself.

FFS.

Also, Midsummer is underrated.

Great guy. Miss types like him. The interesting thing is he did not grow up on Aussie rules footy so he picked it up very well for someone from New South Wales.
Tim Lane and Drew Morphett were gems. Sad that Drew life cut short. I do not think we get many commentators like these guys anymore. Different breed now, We get dipshits with egos now, that believe they themselves are as big as the game or sport itself.

Exactly. And I dislike it.

Have just finished watching the 2001 EF vs Adelaide. Many remember this game for one of Kouta's best, but just wanted to give a shout out to Campo. He probably got a bit lost with the players he had around him, but he was a seriously good player. Not afraid to get his own footy, good on the outside and could kick a goal.

Was still a good player in that side.
Just got lost behind guys like Williams, Bradley, Kouta, Ratts and Brown.
