Just caught a glimpse of the end of Kouta's speech from the presentation...he was absolutely stoked. Great to see someone truly appreciate an honour like that.
Was just about to change the channel and they had the little video package for Ern Henfry...a man I've never heard of. Just goes to show there are great stories in our past and we should all take more time to learn about them. The little video package was great, and his son was just so proud that his dad was being recognised.
Yeah, I agree. Kouta's speech was fantastic and gave a nice insight into his childhood and Australia's changing identity. It's easy to forget how good some of these players were as time moves on.
Ken Henfry was great as well, I felt so proud for him.
Andrew McLeod was really good too I thought. He's one of the few players that's compelled me to go and watch a non-Carlton game. Whateley was good to ask him abot playing in slow motion, because McLeod seemed to have so much more time than anyone else on the ground.
A big tick for Brad Johnson, of course, and it's a real shame that crop of Doggies could never quite make it.
Tredrea comes across as being a bit conceited, but it's easy to forget how good he was at his best. And his work ethic was first class.
Richo was Richo and I loved his story about kicking goal 800, haha.
I really enjoyed the show and I can see why Demetriou rates it as one of the best footy nights of the year.
