Half hour episodes seems pretty weak considering the 150 years of history.

3

Why not release as one movie?

4

Four hours is a lot of time. I assume they will cover a lot. Will be something to look forward to in October and November.

They made the Jordan one 8 hours and it really only covered 3 years.

6

Jordan doc had stuff all through his life and career

LOL

It’s 7 x 30 mins i.e. 3 and a half hours + a 1 hour finale. 4.5 hours is a lot of content.

I cannot wait

I remember Scott Lucas was on the lunchtime catch up earlier in the year, and he said that the club had been trying to get In touch with Mark Mercuri…. As they wanted to interview him for this doco.
Either he didn’t want to do it, or they couldn’t find him.

Apparently he doesn’t want to do any media at all.

I’d prefer 22 x 20 min episodes so I don’t get distracted

…wiki describes him as short but large.
Pretty sure he’d have been my favourite player.

Was going to cancel Kayo next week and then this ………

You get it free with an Essendon membership though so Uncle Rupe doesn’t get a cent.
