The Kid's sandwich in the '89 GF between Hawthorn and Geelong
When Mark "The Garden Nose" Yates came off the square to deliver a sandwich to Dermott "The Kid" Brereton in the 1989 Grand Final between Hawthorn and Geelong, ribs for The Kid went and lost the lot on a horse.
That they had packed it in in the first minute of 100 didn't stop The Kid from bagging three from deep in the pocket. It was a tip-top performance from an icon of the sandwich industry.
The Hawks at that time must have had very deep ones to keep that team together. Lots of bread in the pantry. Tight because of their jeans and loose because of their bread.
One of those kicks through the big sticks was from a particularly juggling mark that must have seemed pretty difficult to all but myself.
At the end of that day, that last sitting day of September '89, those three solid goals fom The Kidder added up to about 18 points - more than enough to cater for a win despite the delivery of a dirt sandwich behind the playground.
