Final few minutes of the game, we chip possession around for about three minutes then surge forward and Darling goals. A textbook, almost perfect sequence of the Simpson game plan that won us a flag.
Watch it back and listen to the increasing groans and smattering of boos by the fossils who get riled up when we kick backwards.
Why can’t they just kick it long, wear short shorts and have cigarettes at halftime like they used to?
Oh no, say it isn`t so! Not HB35 and Biggie, my two favourite posters, indulging in some "funtime" bashing we oldies.
Feet of clay indeed, though certainly not alone on this board. The lack of respect is monumental.
You`re right though Biggie, time awaits you as well.
I wouldn’t dare discriminate, I’m an equal opportunity arsehole. If I hear a five year old near me yell “kick it long” followed by “oh who was that to?” they’re getting dragged too.
That play was the sex and the bend on Darling's kick at the end was top notch. The only time the ball hit the ground and he scooped it up and bent it in as if it were planned.Final few minutes of the game, we chip possession around for about three minutes then surge forward and Darling goals.

Just watched it unfold as I read thisRewatched the buildup to that final goal :
1) Duggan collects a loose ball deep in defence and makes clearing kick to Venables on the defensive side of wing near the boundary on the broadcast side. At that point there’s 3.46 left on the game clock
2) Venables goes backwards to Hurn
3) Hurn goes further back to Duggan in the goal square
4) Duggan chips it to the other side to (I think) Cole in the back pocket
5) Pass to masten wide at half back just outside 50
6) Inboard to Smith
7) Wider out to Petch on the boundary far side defensive side of wing
8) Back inside D50 to Cole?
9) Forward to masten on far side wing
10) Longer to Smith on centre far side wing
11) Backwards to Jetta
12) Back further to Duggan in back pocket
13) Back to Barrass just outside goal square
14) Wider to Shuey who collects on bounce just inside boundary just inside D50 near side. First time since Duggan collected the loose ball that it hit the ground
15) Inboard to Venables still inside d50
16) Short pass wider to Barrass (half volley that he gathers off his boots) in back pocket near side
17) Short down the line to Petch just outside 50
18) Further along the boundary to gov
19) Down the line to Hickey on centre wing near side
20) Wide out to Sheed near interchange gates
21) Inboard back to Hickey
22) Forward to Venables just forward of the wing about 80-90m from goal.
1.41 now left on the game clock so we’ve retained possession for just over two minutes without a giants player touching the ball and out of 22 kicks ranging from 15-40m only two hit grass
Venables now close enough to get the ball deep inside forward 50 with a 50m kick to a contest in the forward pocket, darling crumbs and snaps a goal. Oallen running back towards goal from the contest is 5+ metres in the clear and could have marked but watched the ball float through for a goal after looking to see no defender could get a hand on it
Not nearly as exciting as Petch bursting through a pack at full tilt, running 50m and slotting a goal and tbh kinda boring but it was still a bloody impressive passage of play

To be fair I’m sure GWS just wanted the game to be over so probably weren’t too keen on anymore stoppagesRewatched the buildup to that final goal :
