God, 1989, Grand Final - Hawthorn v Geelong

If anyone ever doubted the existence of our father who art those doubts were swiftly allayed by the performance he put in to lose the 1989 Grand Final to a hoard of men in brown undies. Truly the heathens did shite their pants that day.

God asserted his dominance from the opening morning of the first day, making the world out of nothing and slotting through the world's first man and woman. He kicked Eve with relish or chutney or mustard or tomato sauce.

By half-time Our Lord had created a flood and, in a very physical match, used himself like a projectile to break a non-believer's rib; later using it to make more people who he did smite. Moses himself couldn't have parted his ribs any better.

The Holy charge by God's people, however, would ultimately fall short of the promised land, with the Heathens holding on by six points in what would go down in history as one of the day's that God revealed himself. It wouldn't be untiil his son came along that his people would meet his son.

God's 17 disposals, 8 marks, and 9 goals, earned him a place in heaven, but it was the variety with which he collected his possessions, the miraculous marking, the booting of people's melons and kicking them out of the park that will live on in my VHS recorder.

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.
