Thanks for these. Was at both games, as I recall we weren't allowed to play finals at the MCG back then as it was deemed unfair to play at home (that's the way I remember it anyway). Certainly remember KB's performances. Had forgotten how good Wiley was in them though. And of course, nice again to come from behind to beat the Cats in a final.

Oh what a day!  General, Flea, Ghost, Woosha, KB, Disco & St Francis.  Playing the game the way it should be played - go long & up the guts!  Rough & tough with no beg pardons ...
