Coming soon to @7AFL, the latest AFL film from @Pete_Dickson. Stay tuned for further details. #TheFinalDraw
Combines two of my passions - classical music and The Saints; however, too haunting knowing the crescendo in the final movement to draw the curtain on the Saints in their next performance.saintbrat wrote:But if interested ( and Kosi will not be)
There seems to be a fascination with this game
The best part is the Saints fought it out
But aside from the orchestral performance on Sept 22nd at Hamer Hall

AMID the expected recollections of drama and tension, filmmaker Peter Dickson found contrasting moments of levity and humour to enable him to produce what he believes is "the most entertaining" of his series of big-game football films.

"None of them had to do this – it was a difficult one. It's not a great memory for St Kilda people, but they were fantastic. And I know Collingwood people would rather talk about the fact they won the replay – they won that year's premiership," he said.
"You can't make these films without people investing, so I'm really thankful for their time."
Dickson said Milne and Johnson emerged as stars of the film. The two were opponents late in the game when Milne had a chance to swoop on a bouncing ball just metres from goal, only for it to jag away from him and through for a behind with just 91 seconds left. That point was the final score of the game.
"Johnson talked about how nervous he was, with just he and Milne in the forward line late in the last quarter," he said.
True to his reputation as a knockabout bloke, Johnson revealed how he had snuck a mate into the MCG for the Grand Final by hiding him in the boot of his car. His laidback approach contrasted the intensity of others, including Pies coach Mick Malthouse.
"He lends a real irreverence to the story, which it needed. But towards the end, he does get a bit emotional," Dickson said.
"Milne, who was so pivotal in that final moment, is still very emotional, six years later. People have their perceptions of him but he comes across really well."
Although the film takes a balanced view of the day, Dickson said it was difficult not to have a degree of sympathy for the Saints, who had lost the previous year's Grand Final to Geelong in another thriller.
"In my mind, it becomes more of a St Kilda story, based on what could have been in that era," he said.
"Riewoldt and (Brendon) Goddard were so confident they brought cigars to the ground. That surprised me. But they thought they were going to do it."
Dickson said he hadn't previously understood how much the Geelong loss and the 2010 campaign had taken out of the Saints.
"I didn't realise this at the time, but they had nothing left. They were done. They were never going to win the next week," he said.
The Filth had unusual levels of testosterone in 10 players, but the AFL, using tactics borrowed from the KGB and Soviet Ministry of Information, moved quickly to defuse the embarrassment.The Fireman wrote:does this thing cover the drugs Collingwood took to get them pumped for the next week ?
and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

They didn't show a replay of the game. The film was a brilliantly edited portrayal of the heat and intense pressure of the game, using archival footage from the AFL that most would have never seen. The score played by the MSO really added to the drama of the day.Enrico_Misso wrote:Apparently they showed a replay of the game whilst the orchestra played.
What a depressing reminder!
None on the YouTube version I just watched.saintbrat wrote:can they put any more ads in?
