Hi

If you wanna believe what you see on youtube

[@BD-yl5mh]

Someone needs to track down McMahon and show him this This is one of the things I love about footy. It’s a distillation of the butterfly effect. You normally can’t pin it all down to single moments like this but every single thing that happens at a club becomes part of its story, and whenever that club achieves success, all of that stuff was part of that story.

[@TheAlphaDingo]

Great video and an amazing 'what if' scenario to ponder. As a long suffering Tigers fan, this truly was a monumental moment that helped transform the trajectory of the club. Funnily enough, I still remember being upset with some Melbourne supporting mates who gloated that tanking and getting picks 1 and 2 was better than a meaningless win. I remember being sad that a number 1 pick in Scully who was a Tigers fan growing up, and who could have been a messiah type figure to rescue the club from mediocrity would be playing for another team. Funny how things work out. Dusty became that figure. Though on a side note, it's a shame to see highly promising careers never materialise due to injuries and other factors. Would have loved to have seen both Scully and Trengrove fulfill their potential - and Vickery and Tambling for that matter too. Both were, are and have been maligned but their contributions here were vital and at the end of the day, they are people just trying to live their lives who don't deserve abuse and ridicule. Had the pleasure of meeting Tambling once during a preseaon visit to my home town growing up and he was polite, friendly and nothing but a good bloke.

[@Rapsciddy31]

Thank you sir for providing content like this for the AFL. As a 2014 KZbin-raised nba fan where I would spend 25 hours a day watching and learning more about the sport of basketball at the highest level. I can commend content like this for the best sport in the world. You’ll be reaching people across the globe, heck I’m the only person who know who Giannis is at my Aussie school. And this content can translate that for AFL fans too. Keep grinding my brother, good things are most sure to come.

You are bloody good at working this butterfly effect mate! - as a Crows fan, I say that Richard Tambling kick may have cost us a premiership as well :D

[@Wingyy1995]

Came to say similar... I want this reality please, at least then we could've had a shot in 2017

[@raph770]

I was behind the goals in that game and was walking out thinking we (Richmond) had lost, when I heard a roar. I realised McMahon was having a shot after the siren and said to my kids "Wait - this doesn't happen often! Let's watch - he'll probably miss..." Of course he didn't, and the rest is history. Fascinating to think what the AFL landscape wouldn't been like if Dusty had not gone to Richmond. Great video!

[@AussieAzure]

Found you on my recommended. This is some of the best AFL content out there

[@zachgratton1488]

Good job. The Sam Mitchell tackle is another one. Saved Clarkos job in 2010 and eventually lead to the three-peat.

[@GenerationExcrement]

I have 100% been talking about this to fellow Richmond fans for YEARS now (add in the fact we gave up pick 21 to get McMahon (Callan Ward - captain of GWS), BUT I could never have put this as eloquently, sequentially and convincingly as you did...WELL DONE!

[@kingcrom6799]

Great video as always mate. Always after more AFL content on KZbin. Like the way that you didn't bag Melbourne for picking Scully and Trengrove, instead putting us in the position of the recruiters at the time, where there was a clear top 2, even though Dusty has clearly turned out better. Have got a couple of videos over on my channel if you love AFL that you may enjoy, with more videos in the pipeline soon.

[@1Sleighto1]

Crazy that they were comparing kane cornea to scully, scully is alot more explosive Kane only had one speed

[@samcrispino821]

Love your editing and your content in general!

[@sammaniatis7039]

I was at that Melb v Rich game and I saw Melb leading and switching the players from defence to attack to throw the game. The other great tanking game of all time was Rich v StKilda, last game of 2007, Tigers coach Terry Wallace took off Richardson, Brown and Bowden so the Saints could get up to win. This enabled the Tigers to get Trent Cotchin in the draft at number 2.

[@ChannelBlaino]

Don't forget the Kreuzer cup between Carlton and Melbourne in 2007, both sides trying too loose.

[@sentimentalbloke185]

@@ChannelBlaino Kruezer went one, Cotchin two. Richmond finished last & should've had #1 but the league decided to give Carlton #1 as a comp pick.

[@Medaiyah]

This is a scary good analysis. AFL needs more deep dive analysis like this, there are so many stories to be told and picked apart in the game and it's so rare to find someone willing to do it.

[@chinboy66]

Or you could just watch the footy.

[@thedarkman4901]

I like these scenarios as they play in facets of life & history. A guy on FB put forward a theory about a Hawthorn/Melbourne match late in the 1964 season. Melbourne win a tight match in the last minute at Glenferrie, win the minor premiership by half a game from three other teams with Hawthorn 1 game out of the 4. Had Hawthorn won, Melbourne don’t win the premiership, Norm Smith is asked to step aside & Barassi becomes captain/coach. Under Barassi, Melbourne win more premierships & avoid being a joke for 57 years.

Love it mate hopefully we can still push for a 4th b4 Dusty retires. What a crazy decade it’s been. Thinking of the challenge by the group who wanted Dimma Peggy etc out. If that happens and a clear out of players occurs we could be looking at no flags and a couple more wooden spoons for good measure. Yet no one would have known what doing that had actually cost the club bloody scary.

[@aamslfc]

Fucking brilliant video, mate. I love a good 'What if?' scenario, and this was fantastic to watch. Incredible to think how one passage of play in a dead rubber between two then-mediocre sides could dictate the next decade of AFL football. And who would have thought that Ben Cousins, of all people, would have such an important role in setting it all up. The ageing genius in a sea of bog-standard footballers, a superstar of the late 90s/early 00s, at the end of his career helping to create the dynasty of the 2010s.

[@vrogue1]

Love this and every other run through you’ve done on any sport. Such good videos mate maybe you could do one on the what’s happening with Carlton in the past 10-16 years .

[@afez2752]

Well why do you think that Essendon seems to have got off with almost a slap on the wrist for drugging there players? Calton had a salary cap breach. We where then slapped in every way we could have. We have only recently got out of debt due to the fine that they enacted. Not to mention losing any draft picks for a year.

Richmond drafted Martin and made the finals in 2013 (their first finals since 2001) and eventually won 3 premierships and Melbourne continued to struggle but these struggles led to good picks esp Petracca, Oliver, and the 2009 draft steal Max Gawn. In 2017 Melbourne missed the finals by a kick but in 2018 Melbourne were on the rise and made the finals but went down hard with injuries and poor play, but then came 2021 when they were able to field a healthy team, regrouped and the rest was history.

Could you do a video on how the dom sheed goal has changed the AFL, I believe Buckley would still be coaching, Adam Simpson would be under significant pressure or possibly sacked already, Andrew Gaff could have left to North Melbourne, and that could prevent them from falling off the cliff, do north then get Polec, does Josh Kelly join north.
