This is a few years earlier than the allocated timeline, 1993. Adelaide had the game under control, all they had to do was win, but then at 3 quarter time the Adelaide players did the unthinkable, they sat down in their huddle. Kevin Sheedy saw this and in a moment of magnificence took his players aside and delivered one of the greatest speeches in AFL folklore, which I unfortunately do not have a transcript of, but according to my memory was something along the lines of,
"I had a dream...", nope that was his 1991 speech against the Bulldogs, "Fore score and..." nope that was his 1996 first quarter address against the Hawks... ahh here it is,
"Look at those lazy fcukers! They're sitting down! And Gary (O'Donnell)...?"
Gary - "Yes Sheeds?"
"I am your father"
