Speaker 1: Good Morning has ten to eight gold one oh four

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: point three. It's the Christian O'Connell's show. Over the last

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: two weeks you've been telling us about these amazing legends,

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: because amazing thing about footy is it isn't just about

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: what's going on on the oval. There's so much more,

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: so much more, And we've heard about all these legends

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: that we've never heard of two or three weeks ago,

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: but we do know about them now. Their names deserve

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: to be held up high and immortalized in paints up

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: on Lygon Street on our Footy Wall of Fame. It's

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: been painted, it looks incredible. In a couple of minutes,

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: it's going to be unveiled live on Lygon Street by

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: the Lord Mayor, Sally cap and eight very tall people.

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: It's now cross to the scene. Rio, are you in position?

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: And Christian we are ready. We are in position.

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 3: I am looking at eight of Melbourne's tallest people holding

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 3: up eight pieces of beautiful, high quality, premium red fabric.

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: They are all facing the wall, and they are all

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: They must be tired because we have had them in

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: this position for the entire ad break so shoulders are

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 3: starting to wobble. But they are still holding strong. Sally

22
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: was giving them a bit of a pep talk. We

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: came out of the ads just to keep the spirits high.

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: So morale is high everyone. There's actually quite a big crowd.

25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: I think we've probably got about one hundred people lining

26
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: the streets now with their phones ready to see what

27
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: is behind these red curtains and what.

28
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Is the scene is anticipation, excitement, nerves from some of

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: the people who are going to see their faces up

30
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: on a wall.

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: It is.

32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: I mean, Bruce was quite nervous Richmond fan with the

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: twenty two jumper. I was just talking to Doug, who

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: kicked sixty goals in one game. He's also you know,

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: it was a very calm character on the radio, but

36
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 3: now he's starting to be a little bit more nervy

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: and anxious than I had ever seen him.

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: And so it's very quiet. It's deathly quiet.

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: Okay, let's now hand over to the Master of Semonies.
