Forgotten that one!

what a classic 

I remember it for two things. 
The first was that I was living in a share house in Belmont in Geelong and I watched the match together with my housemates.

The second was the Hawks came back at us like last night’s pizza, and Bruce McAvaney admitted he was barracking for them. Awesome stuff. 

Never saw that one before. A year before my time (footy started in 2000 for me).

But it's very weird watching footy of years gone by. Most of the time the biggest change isn't in the skills of the players but in the "interpretations" of the rules. Would've been deliberate out of bounds in Farmer's favour in c.2021, but in 1999? Fair play!

Yep it's a little weird looking back at games from 20+ years ago and thinking, "well that's holding the ball" or "deliberate out of bounds". Also the fact the Leoncelli was given so much time to hold onto the ball, these days you receive a mark and have to go within 5 seconds!

Was funny seeing the Dees players celebrating the point as well, these days while you'd still want to do that at that stage it's a big opportunity for the opposing team to go end to end.
