From 8:22 onwards in this clip. The point where Mercs is running into goal, takes the shot, SOS marks it on the line, then proceeds to turn it over and Scotty Lucas slots it to give us the lead. Sandy Roberts was a great caller. Still is!

There are a lot of old classics that I love, but I reckon the commentary for Tippa’s goal against North last year would be right up there. Masterclass by Anthony Hudson the way he predicted what was going to happen before it happened.
“Pulses racing everywhere, oh who else? McDonald-Tipungwuti! McDonald-Tipungwuti! Always cunning, always class. The moment is his, the game is his!”

Was a crapload of Bombers on the opposite flank.
I sat in the Sydney members stand once. It was in 1999 when Bewick kicked four goals to give us the win. They were really confused by having someone who made noise amongst them.

Rd 2 2014 Ess vs Haw, Last Q, Bruce “Stanton off a step, where’s Chapman, almost there, Zaharakis at the back, Cheney, Chappy, well he’s a really good man to have it, HE’S A REALLY GOOD MAN TO HAVE IT” - sails through for a goal, then "AAWWWWWWEe.
Then Leigh Matthews chips in “Awe, fantastic…god, isn’t this crowd alive”
One about few moments in all the games that I have attended where I actually thought the stand would fall down.
Tim Lane, Ess vs Carlton (2008?), MCG “Lovett, splitting the centre of the MCG with a scintillating run, a long kick and a brilliant goal”

Bring back sandy. Also ian Robertson was a quality commentator too but he hated essendon if you watch any of the old replays.
I think I heard that one on the radio too: “Silvagni kicks it out… but straight to …ohh guess who?.. GUESS WHO…SCOTT LUCAS slams it home!”

No doubt when Lucas is kicking for goal either. Boots it the same from 25 out as 55 out.

No. That’s another passage of play.
