EDITOR’S LETTER

t first glance, the draw for the opening week of the finals shapes as nothing out of the ordinary. Port Adelaide (first) hosting Geelong at Adelaide Oval. Brisbane (second) at home to Richmond at the Gabba. Fifth-placed West Coast also gets an opening week finals match-up at Optus Stadium against Collingwood. But then it hits you right between the eyes, the reminder that season 2020 is like no other. St Kilda as the home team against the Western Bulldogs. Not at the MCG. Not at Marvel Stadium. But at the Gabba. In Brisbane. The incredible juggling act that is the 2020 season has reached its pointy end. As forecast by AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan back in March when the first plans for the game to deal with the oncoming coronavirus were laid out, it was a season measured in games and not rounds. So, 153 games later, here we are. For a much larger proportion of footy fans than usual, it will be a finals series viewed in its entirety while sitting on the couch. But it won’t make things any less watchable. u On behalf of all footy

starved fans here in Victoria, I implore our comrades in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane to lap up every minute of finals action, particularly those fortunate enough to be attending games on the opening week. As Victorians play out the remaining few weeks in the world’s longest COVID-19

POWERING INTO THE FINALS: With stars such as All-Australian defender Darcy Byrne-Jones, Port Adelaide has been on top all season, but will be wary of the Cats and Coleman medallist Tom Hawkins (inset).

The incredible juggling act has reached its pointy end

lockdown, watching football being played interstate has helped many of us through this nightmare. Last Saturday, the MCG should have been heaving with 100,000 fans urging the best two teams of 2020 to premiership success. But the seagulls had it all to themselves and, given the lack of soggy chips and half-eaten

If anything, it might be the most wide-open finals series we have had for several years. The Power finished the season the way they started it – on top of the ladder. They were the first team since Essendon in 2000 and just the seventh overall to remain on top of the ladder through the entire season. The premiership scoreline for those teams is 3-3. With two finals at Adelaide Oval, a prowling midfield and scoring options aplenty, this is Port’s best opportunity for years to win a flag. The Power needed to make the finals for Ken Hinkley to keep his job and the players must clearly love their coach because they have made an emphatic statement all season.

pies, even they probably didn’t bother turning up. Melbourne turned on a typical Melbourne day – rain, wind and sun – but who would have cared if it were just a normal season? Which makes you wonder: when will we know ‘normal’, in a football sense, again? In the short-term, we have four fantastic weeks ahead,

but the longer-term view will be about the 2021 season and what the game looks like. Let’s not forget, the AFL and its clubs have taken a massive financial hit in 2020. Good people have lost jobs at League and club level and the days of pre-COVID spending won’t be returning for some time. Enjoy the finals series wherever you are watching it from.

ONE WEEK at a TIME But the doubts remain. In round 12, the Power were monstered by the Cats by 10 goals at Metricon Stadium. Coleman medallist Tom Hawkins led the way for the victors with six goals and his shadow looms largest over Thursday night’s game. Time after time, Geelong was able to isolate Hawkins inside the forward 50 and he kept getting the ball. It was the sort of win that should give the Cats great confidence heading into Thursday night’s clash. But Geelong’s form tapered in the final fortnight of the home and away season, well beaten by the Tigers and just getting past lowly Sydney. The good news for the Lions heading into Friday night’s clash is that they are unbeaten at home this year and, if they keep winning this October, they won’t have to leave home again.

Trent Cotchin RICHMOND

Equals Richmond’s record for most games as captain (168) held by Percy Bentley.

200 CLUB SCARS REMAIN: The Magpies are still having nightmares about Dom Sheed’s match-winning goal for the Eagles in the 2018 Grand Final.

Having St Kilda back in the finals is good for football

The bad news is that they’ve lost their past 15 games against the Tigers, stretching back to 2010. That includes back-to-back 27 and 47-point defeats in round 23 and the qualifying final last season and a 41-point defeat in round 10 this year that might have been different had the Lions not kicked 4.17. Trent Cotchin will captain the Tigers for the 168th time, which will equal the club record held by Percy Bentley. Having St Kilda back in the finals for the first time in nine years is good for football, with the only sadness being that the Saints’ long-suffering fans, by and large, won’t be there to see it. The Saints face a tough task against the Bulldogs, who again finished the season strongly, winning five of their last six games. Arguably the best rivalry of the past few years plays itself out again on Saturday night at Optus Stadium when the 2018 Grand Final combatants meet again. West Coast is trying to shuffle as many of its big guns back into the side after an unsettled last few weeks, but the dynamic Elliot Yeo will miss and that’s a huge blow. The Pies won’t have Steele Sidebottom and Jeremy Howe at their disposal. They tend to travel well and have won some big finals outside Victoria over the journey, but were beaten by the Eagles by 66 points in Perth in round eight. To turn that result around here would be truly remarkable.

The Burning Questions

SELF BELIEF: Charlie Cameron and the Lions need to break a 15-game losing streak against the Tigers.

RICHMOND Richmond has the venue and match-up it wants and is again the team to beat for the flag, but what would be keeping Damien Hardwick awake at night?

SEN 1116’s experts answer ASHLEY BROWNE’s burning question for each club ahead of the start of the 2020 finals.

u Not many regard the new

KANE CORNES PORT ADELAIDE Top of the ladder all season yet not the premiership favourite. Are the punters wrong about Port Adelaide? u No, I don’t think the punters are

wrong about the Power. Clearly the two best and most accomplished teams heading into round one of the finals are Richmond and Geelong. The confidence in the Power took a significant hit when Geelong demolished them by 10 goals in round 12. Tom Hawkins exposed Port’s undersized defence, taking seven contested marks and booting six goals. The other knock on the Power has been their one-paced midfield, however, over the past month the slippery conditions have favoured the likes of Ollie Wines, Tom Rockliff, Travis Boak, Sam Powell-Pepper and Robbie Gray, who are all in sparkling form. The success of this finals campaign will rely largely on Charlie Dixon and whether or not the club can find another avenue to goal. What is certain is there will be 30,000 raucous Power fans packed into Adelaide Oval on Thursday doing their best to cheer the team home and through to its first home preliminary final since 2004.

8 AFL RECORD

MICHELANGELO RUCCI

The Tigers thrive on getting into opponents’ heads POWERHOUSE: Port Adelaide will be looking for other avenues to goal to support Charlie Dixon.

ANDY MAHER BRISBANE LIONS The Lions have lost their past 15 matches against Richmond. What is their best hope of ending this streak? u Brisbane has to believe. Every

single Lion must know they can win their one-on-ones and that, collectively, they have the talent and muscle to meet Richmond at every contest. The Tigers thrive on getting into opponents’ heads. And then execute. Richmond is a well-rehearsed blend of chaos and structure and is defensively rock solid. The Tigers know one another’s moves, read each other’s cues and set up secure in the knowledge that what they do works. You must disrupt that. Separating the Tiger defenders is key. Get them one-out and moving. Don’t let them get balanced. Brisbane has the players capable of winning one-out battles. The Lions need to bring their very best and play for their front-half colleagues. We know how good Richmond is when the ball is in dispute, especially between the arcs. The Tigers back themselves to hunt faster and harder than anyone else, they love nothing more than creating chaos and encouraging turnovers. It’s here where Brisbane simply must meet the Tigers head on.

Adelaide Oval as sore on their eyes. Hardwick is one of them. Not much stands in the way of the Tigers collecting consecutive flags – and the third in four years. Away from its comfort zone and rabid army of fans at the MCG, Richmond has no reason to fear playing finals in Queensland – more so when the Tigers have not lost at the Gabba since 2004 to have a 14-8 win-loss record at the new AFL Grand Final venue. But Adelaide Oval is another story. Richmond has lost four of its past six matches there and significant in each loss is being beaten at the clearances. This went 40-22 in Port Adelaide’s favour when the minor premier beat the Tigers by 21 points in round 11. “Centre bounce is so important here,” Hardwick said. “It is an easy ground to defend if you get the ball in your front half; it is pretty easy to get numbers behind (the ball). And it (takes) its toll in the end ...”

HOODOO: Bachar Houli and the Tigers will be keen to avoid a trip to Adelaide.

DWAYNE RUSSELL GEELONG CATS Where should Chris Scott play Patrick Dangerfield during the finals? u Dangerfield should be in the

centre square at the opening bounce of every AFL game he plays. But it’s common sense that the game circumstance dictates where he is best placed from there. To lock him into one role, regardless of the game, the opposition and the score, would be crazy. You play him where he is getting his best chance to thrive, and where the opposition have their worst chance of stopping him. If he is finding the ball, winning centre clearances and dominating, it makes sense to play him where the ball is. Especially if Geelong is winning because of it. But if he’s being stifled by an overly congested midfield in a rolling maul style of game, and the Cats need a score, then taking him away from a 12-on-12 contest on the wing and giving him one-on-one contests in an open forward line is the perfect alternative.

JORDAN LEWIS WEST COAST EAGLES Can West Coast do any damage in September with such a long injury list? u I think the Eagles might struggle.

Losing key players is hard to overcome, especially in the finals when you need your best four or five players on the ground to keep a level head across the entire playing group. Missing Elliot Yeo and, potentially, Jeremy McGovern is a real hurdle for them to overcome. And they’re playing Collingwood, a team we can trust when it plays on the road. The Magpies would go to Perth with confidence knowing that some key West Coast players will be out. If the Eagles get past this week, it gets tough for them. They didn’t perform well in the hub this year and, while I’m sure they’ve reviewed why, they’ll need to win big finals on the road and they’ll be moving on from the biggest home ground advantage in the AFL to probably the biggest disadvantage.

To lock him (Dangerfield) into one role would be crazy

FORWARD THINKING: Aaron Naughton (below) and recruit Josh Bruce are still searching for the right chemistry in attack for the Bulldogs, while Jaidyn Stephenson (right) is under pressure to retain his place in the Magpie line-up.

GERARD WHATELEY ST KILDA What is the No. 1 weapon the Saints will bring with them into this year’s finals? u St Kilda’s return to the finals is

most welcome on a host of fronts. A powerful case study of a team that seized its fate in the trade period rather than conservatively waiting for incremental change. A club that saw the value in experience and accrued wisdom rather than the shallow failure of the first coaching tenure. The Saints have a tangible connection that has powered their rise and more finals knowhow than you’d expect for a team that hasn’t seen the pointy end in the best part of a decade. As a point of difference, no rival can boast the big-man combination of Paddy Ryder and Rowan Marshall. Rather than stifling Marshall’s influence and development, Ryder has allowed us to see the full array of the 50-gamer’s talents. Marshall plays key forward like a key forward and the ruck like a ruckman. It’s a rare and dangerous combination.

He plays like a true forward, as though he’s played there all his life. He can double-lead, but he’s also strong one-on-one. You can see his confidence grow as the season has gone on.

SAM EDMUND COLLINGWOOD Does Nathan Buckley persist with Jaidyn Stephenson? u What a hamburger with the lot this guy’s career has already been. From Rising Star winner to betting scandal to glandular fever, Stephenson has gone from kicking 38.24 in season one, to the subject of trade speculation in season three.

BOB MURPHY WESTERN BULLDOGS The midfield is top-shelf, but how can the Dogs structure their forward line to win finals? u If there’s an issue, it’s not because

of a lack of talent, but rather a lack of chemistry. Aaron Naughton and Josh Bruce just haven’t played enough games together. One is a prodigy and the other is a talented recruit, so once they have, it will be ‘go time’. It is a ticking time bomb in the best possible way. I would go with the traditional structure, Naughton playing deep and Bruce at centre half-forward. Bruce needs to get on his bike and get separation, which he hasn’t been able to do so far. It will be intriguing to see what they do with the small forwards playing at their feet, but I have really enjoyed watching Mitch Wallis emerge as the third wheel up forward. I didn’t see that coming, but hats off to him.

All of which puts him at the centre of one of the more intriguing selection stories of the first week of finals. He was recalled for the round 18 meeting with Port Adelaide, but had little influence with eight disposals and a goal and looked a little tentative. But the Pies have struggled to score all season and you’d think Buckley would be loath to drop a player who has a habit of making something out of nothing. Moreover, Stephenson has shown he isn’t scared of the big stage. If it’s possible for six goals to win a game of football this year, would it be wise to drop a guy who can bob up for a couple?

retty much the toughest job in football every year is the selection of the All-Australian team, but what the selectors did determine was that 2020 would be a year of generational change, with 12 debutants named in the side. And there are some great stories among them. Fremantle defender Luke Ryan made his way to the AFL the long way, having missed out in his draft year and needing to impress in the VFL before getting his chance. The unobtrusive Cameron Guthrie played second fiddle in the Geelong midfield for years, but went from good to great this year to win selection the first time. The same with West Coast defender Brad Sheppard. There were those whose first selection will surely not be their last – Melbourne midfielder Christian Petracca, St Kilda’s Jack Steele, West Coast’s Liam Ryan and Collingwood’s Darcy Moore would seem to fit that bill. And then there is Port Adelaide’s Charlie Dixon, who doesn’t quite belong to any of these categories, but has teased his brilliance for years. This was the year he got his body right, found consistent form and became the most menacing key forward in the competition. At the other end of the scale, Geelong’s Patrick Dangerfield was named skipper, having been selected in the team for the sixth straight season and for the eighth time overall. Harris Andrews, Marcus Bontempelli, Max Gawn, Tom Hawkins, Jack Macrae and Lachie Neale are the holdovers from last year. Port Adelaide’s Travis Boak was named vice-captain, having been selected for the first time since his back-to-back appearances in 2013 and 2014.

fashion, receiving 1120 votes to finish ahead of Port Adelaide’s Travis Boak (419) and Melbourne’s Christian Petracca (398). The players voted Sydney defender Dane Rampe as their most courageous, Caleb Serong as their best first-year player and Collingwood’s Scott Pendlebury as the best captain. Neale took out the AFL Coaches Association Champion Player award with 93 votes and on six occasions was awarded the perfect 10 votes. He finished ahead of Petracca (78) and Boak (77). RISING TO THE CHALLENGE: Caleb Serong became the Dockers’ third winner of the NAB AFL Rising Star award.

Serong is the 2020 NAB AFL Rising Star winner. The midfielder polled 48 votes to finish clear of Gold Coast’s Noah Anderson (39) and St Kilda’s Max King (28). The 19-year-old played 14 matches in his debut season and averaged 16.8 disposals, 3.4 clearances, 4.1 tackles and two marks to join Paul Hasleby (2000) and Rhys Palmer (2008) as previous Dockers to win the award. He was nominated following probably his best game of the season when he went head-to-head with Geelong star Patrick Dangerfield in round eight and racked up 22 disposals, laid seven tackles and kicked a wonderful goal. Serong was the eighth selection at last year’s NAB AFL Draft – one of three straight picks the Dockers had – having played in the NAB League for the Gippsland Power. Before that he played junior and senior football for Warragul and made his debut at senior level for that club when he was just 15. Serong captained Vic Country at last year’s NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. “He deserves it,” Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir said. “On the field he’s done a great job with all the challenges we’ve thrown at him. “He’s been asked to play on some really good players and done it extremely well while being able to win his fair share of the ball as well. “I’m really proud about the way he’s gone about his year.”

Knives are out as stars on the move

he ‘Festival of the Steak Knives’, also known as the AFL’s free agency and trade period, is off to its unofficial start with a pair of GWS Giants defenders declaring they’re exercising their free agency rights and will be changing clubs in 2021. Dashing defender Zac Williams will accept a huge long-term deal from Carlton, while key defender Aidan Corr will move to North Melbourne. Williams announced his move within days of the end of the season, but Corr didn’t wait that long and left the club’s Queensland hub before the final game after advising the Giants of his move. They were the first acts of what will be a fascinating period in

The best of the rest

which the futures of big names such as Joe Daniher, Adam Saad, Shaun Higgins and Ben Brown, will be determined. The Bombers and Kangaroos appear set to be the feature acts of the player exchange period, which formally kicks off with the free agency period (October 30-November 6) and the trade period (November 4-12). Star key forward Daniher finally returned to the Essendon side towards the end of the season and showed glimpses of form. This time last year he requested a trade to Sydney, but the Bombers held firm and kept him at Tullamarine. It was only 12 months ago that Brown, 27, kicked 63 goals to finish second in the Coleman Medal and, together with the silky Higgins, was regarded as the centrepiece of a North Melbourne side with genuine top-eight aspirations. Brown and Higgins have been encouraged to seek trades, while 11 players were delisted after the final game, headlined by Majak Daw, Jasper Pittard, Ben Jacobs and Mason Wood.

FREE AGENT: Dashing Giants defender Zac Williams is headed for Carlton on a long-term deal.

One player who will be soldiering on in 2021 is St Kilda captain Jarryn Geary who has signed a one-year deal. The 202-game veteran will play his 14th season for the Saints, the past four as skipper. BREAKOUT SEASON: Demon midfielder Christian Petracca followed up his maiden All-Australian selection with his first Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott Memorial Trophy.

u One of the unfortunate

byproducts of COVID-19 has been the cancelation of all the lavish AFL season-ending awards nights. The AFL crammed all its awards, save for the Brownlow Medal, into one event last week and the clubs that missed the finals are wasting no time in getting their best and fairest awards underway. Essendon kicked things off with intercept defender Jordan Ridley underlining his rapid improvement by taking out the Crichton Medal, ahead of Zach Merrett and Adam Saad. The 21-year-old took 110 marks during the home and away season, the third-most of any player in the competition, in a superb bounce-back campaign following a disappointing 2019. At Melbourne, Christian Petracca’s breakout season was rewarded with his first Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott Memorial Trophy.

The dynamic midfielder averaged 23.5 disposals and 12.7 contested possessions a game, as well as 198 score involvements and 15 goals. Steven May and Jack Viney rounded out the top three. At Gold Coast, the meteoric rise of Sam Collins continued. Delisted by Fremantle at the end of 2017, he is now the Suns’ best and fairest winner, polling 339 votes to defeat vice-captain Touk Miller (335) and co-captain Jarrod Witts (327). The voting was also tight at Adelaide where ruckman Reilly O’Brien, in just his second full season at AFL level, claimed the Malcolm Blight Medal (and the famed gold blazer) with 81 votes, ahead of Rory Laird (80) and defender Luke Brown (76).

ill Schofield knew his time was up when he lost the will to knock on Adam Simpson’s door demanding to get a game. For Ben Reid, it was yet another setback in the quest to get his body right. The build-up to Saturday night’s West Coast-Collingwood elimination final took an unusual twist late last week when two of the potential combatants announced their retirements. West Coast defender Schofield might yet line up. He played the last two games of the home and away season and the Eagles have been reluctant to be without his experience in big games in the past. In any event, the 31-year-old with 194 games to his name will be playing his last game in front of West Coast’s home supporters. “I have loved the fight to get my spot and I’ve tried to play my role as much as possible. I do love my footy, but I love the boys more,” he said. “There have been amazing moments and really difficult moments. I’ve had personal adversity while I’ve been here ... I’ve lost a Grand Final (2015) and I’ve won one (2018).” Reid suffered a setback in his bid to be fit for the elimination final and chose to retire immediately, rather than fly to Perth for the demanding quarantine period ahead of the game. He played 152 games across 14 seasons as a key forward and backman, was a member of the Magpies’ 2010 premiership and an All-Australian the following year. “In a sense, I grew up at Collingwood and I’m just so thankful for all that I experienced, all that I learnt and the many great people I met,” he said. The retirement class of 2020 has taken shape the past few weeks. Hawthorn’s final-round thrashing of Gold Coast sent three-time premiership players Ben Stratton and Paul Puopolo off into the footy sunset in fitting fashion, while teammate Ricky Henderson also retired, having

GWS Giants ruckman Sam Jacobs retired after a 208-game career with the Blues, Adelaide and for one last year, the Giants. Longtime Port Adelaide swingman Justin Westhoff will finish up at the end of the season, while Gold Coast pair Anthony Miles and George Horlin-Smith, formerly of Richmond and Geelong respectively, also will not continue next year. Western Bulldogs premiership forward Tory Dickson retired last Sunday after 114 games over nine seasons, while Harley Bennell announced the end of his injury-plagued 10-year career after 88 games with Gold Coast, Fremantle and Melbourne.

that pre-season training for firstto fourth-year players will start on December 7 for a two-week block. After they break for Christmas, the rest of the competition will join them on January 6. It means players, especially the veterans, will enjoy a longer off-season break than the eight weeks that are mandated as part of the CBA. It also serves as a thanks from the League for the considerable disruption and dislocation they have endured this year. Pre-season training will be governed by a three-week model – the fortnight before Christmas for the younger players, six weeks for all players through January to mid-February, followed by another four-week block from February 14, which will include the final preparations for the 2021 season.

He won the Norm Smith Medal in 2004, kicking three goals in the Power’s 40-point win over Brisbane. The Jock McHale Medal will be presented to the winning coach by Australian Hall of Fame Legend Malcolm Blight, who guided the Adelaide Crows to back-to-back premierships in 1997-98. Former Brisbane star Simon Black has been named premiership cup ambassador and will lead the cup tour across Queensland.

INSPIRING STORIES FOR BOWRA & O’DEA

FLYING HIGH: A member of the Eagles’ historic first team, Adrian Barich has made a name for himself in the WA media.

PHOTO: THE WEST AUSTRALIAN

WAITING IN THE WINGS

Adrian Barich has a special place in Eagles history, playing in the club’s very first game. Now a veteran of the WA media. He speaks to 6PR’s TIM McMILLAN.

OUR GUEST WAS AN INAUGURAL MEMBER OF THE WEST COAST EAGLES AND PLAYED IN THEIR FIRST GAME BACK IN 1987. SINCE THEN HAS GONE ON TO CARVE OUT A SUCCESSFUL CAREER AS A SPORT JOURNALIST ALL OVER THE PERTH MEDIA. HELLO TO ADRIAN ‘BARRA’ BARICH. u Great to speak to you mate. I’ve been coveting coming on this show because most Sundays when I leave the Seven newsroom I flick it on to hear who you’ve got on and catch up with all the great stories. YOU GREW UP IN CANBERRA. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE? u My grounding was in rugby rather than footy. I loved it, but eventually I worked out that being in the backline in Canberra in freezing conditions when the ball never came out to you, then I saw my mates jumping on each other and having a good time, I thought ‘What am I playing rugby for, I’m going to the AFL’. That was the beginning of my career, but I had to learn to handball and had to learn how to bounce the ball when I was 17, so that was all a bit strange. IN 1984, HOW DID IT COME ABOUT THAT YOU MAKE THE MOVE WEST TO PULL ON THE PERTH JUMPER? u I’m not actually sure why I decided that that was the right time to move back to Western Australia. I always had that affinity because my family had been from Perth – Dad arrived

14 AFL RECORD

there as a refugee in 1950. My family eventually followed me back. I came back to Perth to study ostensibly, and then the West Coast Eagles got invented and suddenly I was in the VFL. It had never even occurred to me about playing at the highest level. I was driving home one day and they announced the team and I nearly crashed my car because I was in it! WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES OF THAT HISTORIC FIRST GAME IN 1987? u Running out in front of around 30,000 people in our new Eagles gear, the big golden wings on the back and wearing golden shorts. We were around 30 points down at three-quarter time against one of the traditional clubs, Richmond, and we stormed home and won our first ever game and I reckon set the course for the West Coast Eagles for the future. It showed the grit and determination to get through and will ourselves across the line. I’ve spoken to blokes about this before with Trevor Nisbett, the CEO, and the rest of them, and there’s no doubt the die was cast early for the West Coast Eagles. They weren’t going to be trifled with, they were going to dig deep. The only drama for me was that I ended up with a broken cheekbone. THE ARRIVAL OF MICK MALTHOUSE AT THE WEST COAST EAGLES. IT WAS A MASSIVE CHANGE FOR THE CLUB AND IT SET THEM ON A PATH THAT LED TO PREMIERSHIPS. BUT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, YOU AND MICK, HOW DID YOU GO? u We had such an amazing squad. We had probably 10 or 15 of the greatest players ever to play the game – Peter Matera, Dean Kemp, Glen Jakovich,

Guy McKenna, Chris Mainwaring, John Worsfold, Peter Sumich, Brett Heady and all those sort of guys – so I was sort of on the fringe. I always like to say that I had a personality clash with Mick. I believe I had a personality and he didn’t, and that was the problem. He drove us hard and, to give him his credit, he was a brilliant coach at that time. He was the turning point for the club. He toughened us up and made us understand the Victorian conditions. He made us train on the sand dunes and in the mud for an entire pre-season so we strengthened our thighs and we understood what needed to be done to win in Melbourne. An amazing man Mick, had a fantastic career and he is an Eagles legend. IN 1992, THE FIRST PREMIERSHIP FOR WEST COAST, UNFORTUNATELY YOU DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT FOR THE TEAM ON THAT DAY, BUT YOU AND PHIL SCOTT FAMOUSLY WROTE A LETTER TO THE PLAYERS. u We were the sort of leper squad, the guys who were the emergencies, the guys who just missed out on the team. We weren’t allowed to fly with the team, we weren’t allowed to stay in the team hotel lest we distract them. On the plane over, Phil and I thought about what we could do, as blokes who aren’t in the team, there must be something we can do to inspire the boys. After a couple of bourbons, our idea was to write a heartfelt letter to the team describing how excruciatingly painful and how upset we were that we were going to miss our place in history. That we weren’t going to be remembered as part of the first West Coast Eagles team to take the premiership out of Victoria, and that the 22 who were playing would never be forgotten, so don’t stuff it up, don’t think you’ll get another opportunity, don’t think it’s going to come around every year, and do it for the blokes who won’t be there, who are in tears about not being part of this great piece of history. So I faxed it to Trevor Nisbett at the team hotel and he actually read it out to the team the night before the game. We were chuffed to hear from guys like Dean Kemp who said it really made a difference to them, knowing they were representing all the guys who couldn’t be there and that this was an opportunity they were going to grab with both hands. AFTER THAT, YOU RETREATED TO THE RELATIVE SAFETY OF THE MEDIA BOX. u Yes, special comments and boundary riding. Then I went from Channel Nine to Channel Seven because they had the footy, and it will be my 25th year next year.

SAINTS ALIVE: Brett Ratten has thrived in his second stint as a coach at St Kilda; below, as a champion with Carlton.

thoughts with Ashley Browne

Why you should give a ‘Ratts’ Harshly treated by his old club, St Kilda coach Brett Ratten deserves every success as the Saints march back into finals.

arracking for another team during the finals when your team hasn’t made it is infantile and stupid. There, I’ve said it. If your team hasn’t qualified for September (or in this case, October) chances are it has caused you plenty of heartbreak over the course of the home and away season. Why open yourself up to more of the same through the finals by temporarily adopting another team? Having scratched that itch, let me add it would also be churlish not to wish certain individuals well over the next few weeks. And at the top of the list is St Kilda coach Brett Ratten. It’s not an extreme opinion, of course. To meet Ratten is to instantly like him. Everyone in football, save for the Western Bulldogs this weekend, wish him well. It wouldn’t be in his nature, of course, because he’s all class, but some success for Ratten over the next few weeks would give him cause to offer the proverbial middle finger to his former club. To recap. He is a great of Carlton, a 255-game premiership centreman and three-time best and fairest winner. He returned to the club in 2007 after a year with Melbourne and a coaching stint in suburban Melbourne to work as an assistant under Denis Pagan. Halfway through the season he was the stand-in senior coach and shortly after it ended, he had the position on a permanent basis. The Blues were financially strapped but, nevertheless, Chris Judd had just walked through the door.

16 AFL RECORD

Ratten led the Blues to the finals in 2009 and 2010 where they narrowly lost elimination finals played outside Victoria. In 2011, they thrashed Essendon in an elimination final before losing by three points to West Coast. In 2012, they battled injury for much of the year and missed the finals after an 11-win season. And that was that for Ratten. The Blues couldn’t help themselves. The old Carlton ‘messiah complex’ re-emerged and, after a quick flirtation, the Blues brought in three-time premiership coach Mick Malthouse to replace him. Ratten’s fellow Carlton great and premiership teammate Stephen Kernahan was one of those who engineered it. Ratten spent the next six seasons at Hawthorn as a key assistant to Alastair Clarkson and was there for the premiership ‘three-peat’ between 2013 and 2015. Think of those he was surrounded by during that time in addition to Clarkson. Luke Beveridge, Adam Simpson and Brendon Bolton were among his fellow assistant coaches. Andrew Russell’s high-performance management was the best in the AFL. Chris Fagan ran the football department. Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell, Jarryd Roughead, Jordan Lewis and Shaun Burgoyne, to name but a few, were the on-field leaders creating an incredible culture. Little wonder Fagan described the Hawthorn of that time as a “university of football”.

To meet Ratten is to instantly like him

Ratten has taken much of that intellectual property with him to St Kilda. Roughead joined him there upon his retirement as a player, as did David Rath, a key strategist and advisor to Clarkson before spending time at the AFL. Football boss Simon Lethlean and list consultant Graeme ‘Gubby’ Allan were already in place, attracted to the romance of St Kilda and leading the club to a second premiership. The Saints have created a terrific environment for Ratten and he has thrived. A few years older and with the wisdom of hindsight, he no longer feels the compulsion to get involved in areas that don’t directly affect the football team. To steal a line from a former St Kilda coach, “the cobblers do the cobbling”. He promised a chilled and happy environment and that’s what he has created at St Kilda. He said the Saints would run hard and compete furiously, and that’s the sort of team he has created. Will St Kilda win the premiership this year? Probably not. But after his shameful treatment by the Blues, not to mention the unspeakable trauma of the death of his son Cooper in late 2015, you hope for good things to happen to good people. And in this year’s finals series, that is Brett Ratten. @hashbrowne

#1 PRESSURE PLAYER

TOM LIBERATORE FREMANTLE v WESTERN BULLDOGS

Cazalys Stadium, September 20 u The pressure was firmly on the Western

Bulldogs in the final home and away round, with Luke Beveridge’s side requiring victory to secure a position in the top eight. While many clubs failed to grasp their opportunities when finals were on the line this season, the Bulldogs got the job done over Fremantle with their spiritual leader playing a significant role. Tom Liberatore was superb in the 30-point win, leading by example in both the attacking and defensive aspects of his game. ‘Libba’ amassed 25 disposals to go with 12 score involvements, seven clearances, six inside 50s and two goal assists. However, it was without the ball that he actually did the most damage. According to Champion Data’s numbers, the determined and fearless on-baller finished the regular season with a remarkable 88.1 pressure points, made possible by an enormous 41 pressure acts and eight tackles. When the pressure was on, Liberatore was at the top of his game by absorbing whatever the Dockers threw at him while applying ample amounts of his own as the Dogs booked a spot in the elimination final against St Kilda.

ANSWER MAN

with GRAHAM PILKINGTON

A HAWK IN THE HANGAR?

KEVAN CARROLL

I know the GWS Giants won the first final they played in 2016. How did other clubs go in their first finals match?

u The surname of

Essendon’s Darcy Parish has several possible origins. The most popular one is that it indicates an ancestor who came from Paris (the local tribe were the Parisii). The most intriguing one, though less likely, is that Parish derives from an old Illyrian word voltuparis, meaning a … hawk. (Illyria – old region along the eastern Adriatic.) Of course, there is the obvious origin: that Parish derives from an old word for a religious area. Two other players named Parish have played at senior level – John (Collingwood, 1900) and Les, a tough, heavily-tattooed utility player for Fitzroy (1980-85) and briefly for Melbourne.

ALISON MURRAY, BANKSTOWN, NSW GP: It is hard to win in a first finals appearance, with only six out of 18 clubs succeeding. University never made the finals in its seven seasons up to World War I and Gold Coast is still waiting. The first finals appearance by South Melbourne (Sydney) in 1899 happened to be the Grand Final, as there were sectional qualifying matches that season. The Swans lost by one point. Geelong’s first final was a loss at Corio Oval in 1897, and it did not play in another home final until 1913 (again losing). Richmond joined the VFL in 1908 and played its first final in 1916. The Tigers could not miss the finals as there were only four teams in the League due to World War I. Hawthorn waited from 1925 until 1957 for its initial final, and won it, then made up for lost time with 13 premierships in subsequent seasons. Of the most recent clubs to join the AFL, only Adelaide and Greater Western Sydney won their first finals, although West Coast went close, losing to Melbourne by two points at Waverley in 1988.

BEGINNER’S LUCK: The Giants in 2016 were just the sixth team in history to record a win in their first finals appearance.
