1996 SANFL Grand Final , quarter time break

It's a grand final day I reckon because Port ad have hit in very hard and they've made the best start against the breeze they'll have the enjoyment if you like the benefit of using it in the second term they're just three points down a very colorful day here as you'd expect on the 96 Grand Final nobody's more colorful than Steven Wright's coach kry here we are in the Bulldogs players and wives pre-match lunch and let's go and see what they're doing this is the wife you look fantastic what have you done oh everything you not supposed to be here this is our party now what have you done with all the girls oh all the girls got g girls girls Tune In Tune in now this all these are all the players wi girlfriends yes and what have you done to them um well differing degrees this is Sarah Monique Tash Joe Jackie roie Sarah now hang on is hiding Amanda come out here Amanda Adrian and Carol and Joanne whacker down the back what about this little guy right down here this is a this is a mini this is Scot Lee now girls tell us you confident your boys can win today yeah pretty confident okay now how hard are we celebrating today harder than the boys will be they'll be out there doing all the hard work we're in here celebrating tell me to the coach give a no sex ban on the girls today I mean yeah we did cuz he reckons never gets it anyway so they can go for night so now what are the celebrations planned for tonight um oh drinking celebrating how did they feel last year when they lost is that the spur to win them to get them through the game today is there any chance they can lose this one so they're definitely going to win you're absolutely sure and certain prop toast to the Bulldog up the bulog go you dog well David maai looked like he enjoyed that no end 2-1 Central District 13 Port ad a 1410 but keep in mind that Port adade had to kick into that southernly into the breeze in that first term and some of the highlights included well they're probably low lights Mark n because Central had a couple go from the ground and probably unsettled them it's pretty simple football at here P just tacking the ball as hard as possibly they can the central players coming off second best of the M we saw two or three players come off with a bit of blood one Court player had so far that was Tim Jen all he needed was a Band-Aid to cover his cup couple of crossly Misses David Cooks was one of them yes had he kicked that I think just the emotion might have been riding with it now the other end after he missed that hicks gets penalized for throwing the ball Scotty hard just kicks one of his incredible goals he just makes a habit of kicking these very difficult ones beautiful kick wasn't it we saw last week in the closing stages of the game against nor that he did just the same thing we talk about misses well this one was a definite Miss but wasn't even worthy of a point despite getting one now I just hope that at the end of the game the game's not decided by a point now cook was stri there there but fortunately it clicked out the cotton who finished off his finishing is terrific actually looks quite threatening doesn't he cotton maybe a bit much pace for Northeast but Paul nor has had a wonderful final series yes he's beaten cotton once Andrew jamman twice and if there's a defensive player of the year for Port so far he'd have to give it to Northeast wouldn't he hoders has uh well hoders has one cotton and V have a goal just three so far and as I said cotton looks pretty good the statistics at the moment see the kicks Fair even as you'd expect the marks on top with Port Adelaide hand balls fairly similar the freeze fairly similar and I felt during the quarter that me was doing better but that tells a different story no I think the thing about the rack contest it's where the ball goes uh it's not necessarily whether they get their hand of the ball it's where it ends up with and I think at this stage the small men for Port ad doing a little bit better well they were always going to settle better Mark n is still down there I guess that Port adlay would have settled better they've got so much more experience and they've just shown that in the first 30 minutes I've just been out to their quarter time break uh coach Steven W's pretty simple with these strategies there isn't a strategy all all he was saying was just work hard PHS just work as hard as you possibly can and give space to Scotty Hodes because he'll win the game off his own boot it's a fairly fundamental recipe David isn't it just work harder but Port ad have thrived on it for years and years that's their recipe they don't deviate too much and I think the tradition continues fos Williams to John kale to Steven Williams it's not a bad uh line of succession is it well we've heard from Steven Wright already Mark n's been out to the uh to the Huddle I just wonder what Steven Wright would do as a normal matter of routine in his quarter time address at quarter time we'll just sit back and we'll have a look at the facts and figures uh how many times we've been into our for line how many times they been into the their for line the wise and uh and hals uh then we'll sit back and say all right all the emotions over and done with it now we just have to stick to our game plan green there Roger gam mcau gamman cook the heartbeat of the center
