1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Kiss strap yourself in, guys, this is an important moment 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: for the Fitting Whipper show. God, I can't believe it's 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: come to this. It was twenty years ago today that 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: one man took himself to the SCG. He lined up 5 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: five times and he went five times. 6 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: I'm really embarrassed because you know, I don't like to 7 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: talk about this story. 8 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: You've never told the story of AFL football twenty years 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: ago today. 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: Ryan James for Year Kick, take us back to the moment. 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 3: Fits. 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: What was it like. Were you nervous going into the game? Well, 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: I was on the bench there. I started on the bench. Yeah, 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 2: And this is what's I mean. 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 3: Even more heroic about this feat is that I was 16 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: on the bench for the first quarter. And the only 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 3: reason I came under the ground is because Andrew Dunkley 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 3: he had to come off with a blood rule. 19 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: That's because I threw bottle at his head came off. 20 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: Whatever gets it done, yep, So he had to come off. 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 3: I had to run on and I ran straight onto 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 3: the ground, straight down into the full forward region and 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: the ball was kicked into the area. I mark the ball, 24 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: turn around and kicked my first goal in the first 25 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 3: ten seconds and Sarah. The rest of it was a blur. 26 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: When you think about that moment fits in that game 27 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: of footy. Is there one image you have in your mind? 28 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Was it that first goal or did you bang one 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: from fifty. 30 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: Or what was it? I know it was it was 31 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: all on the run, were they? What can I remember? 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 3: I was standing a guy called Tim Elliott from Saint Kilda, 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: and I remember every time I kicked a goal, Michael 34 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: o Lochlan from the Sydney Swans would go up to 35 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: him and go. He would go, oh my god, mate, 36 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: this is this guy's first ever game. 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: He's just kicked another goal in it. And then it 38 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: got to a point. 39 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: It got to a point after about my fourth goal 40 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: he went up to him and he started mix started 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: slagging me more than they started. 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 2: He started going to the. 43 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: Guy, mate, he's just kicked his fourth goal and this 44 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 3: is his first year. He's not even that good a player, 45 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: Like I mean, we had him out here for like 46 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 3: a year or two and we laugh at him at. 47 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: Training and I'm like, Mick, you're supposed to be on 48 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: my side. Come on. 49 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: Well. I remember going along to the Swan's game last 50 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: year and Mike Willacey was there, of course, married to 51 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: Allison Langdon, and Mike said, I'll never forget the day 52 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: when we saw the announcement that plugger Tony Lockett had 53 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: decided to hang up the boots, and it was an 54 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: emotional day. But then to see Fitsy on his first 55 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: game and realized we had a replacement for Tony Lockett, 56 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: I was just thrilled. I replaced. 57 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 3: What well a replacement for one game and then I 58 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 3: went missing. 59 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: I went missing after that. 60 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: You know what, it would have been amazing to be there, 61 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: and one man that was was Jude Boltney of their Bolts. 62 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 4: I get a whipper. 63 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: What a day to celebrate twenty years ago today, what 64 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: a miles done. 65 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 4: Look, I've been on the calendar for a while. I've 66 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 4: the dire for a while because this because this story 67 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 4: has grown legs over the journey. I think he would 68 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 4: have loved it. He'd grown some legs because he's was shot. 69 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 2: You're a dog Bolts. He didn't have to him on mate, 70 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: you know that. 71 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: Did everyone think he was going to stick around plug 72 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: a style and play a couple of hundred games and 73 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: be a legend of the game. 74 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 4: I think we did. I think we did at that 75 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 4: particular time. I mean my recollection of the game was, 76 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 4: you know, he got a few cheap ones, there were 77 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 4: a few over the top. There was actually like it's 78 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 4: been built up over the time. But certainly Mickey A. 79 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 4: Laughlin got the three votes of the Brownlow that that day. 80 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 4: But he burst on. He just burst onto the scene. 81 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 4: It was it was huge, We're going, how good this? 82 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: We've got another Kappa? 83 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, you bet.
