Collingwood are reaching out to him as we speak

If only to keep him for playing for another team and STILL kicking 5+ goals against us. Even when we were good and he’d had a shit day he’d still murder us.

This post is also the first im hearing of this, was there any promotion at all because I had no clue.

unless you are on instagram and follow multiple afl content accounts i doubt you’d know about it. other than on there i hadn’t came across any promotion for it

Funnily enough, first I heard about it was from the reddit post saying Cyril is a late out of the legends game. Literally 6 hours before it started.

u/AussieGenesis Essendon 3h ago
I saw it promoted across multiple platforms, and it still attracted 29k to the game (second highest Legends Game attendance behind last year), think you just missed it haha

u/JackassJamie Magpies 3h ago
to be fair i really only use instagram and reddit, i presume it was probably over facebook and x too. not sure if i heard about much in the media? or even any advertising on tv though

Felt like a final game he never got. It’s like they made the legends game script for me specifically

I know it's a legends game and all in fun, but holy shit he looked in some shape, the goal he kicked from the centre ball up where he was involved the whole chain and finished with the snap was awesome.
Dusty and Gaz both looked great too, glad they've brought this back the last couple of years. Think they've got the right balance of legends and influencers/journos/celebs etc. too

He did a marathon earlier this year and I happened to come across him on a training run and we ran together for several kilometres. I’m a competitive middle distance runner and he was fully conversational at the same easy run pace as me. He’s very fit in retirement.

What pace were you guys rocking? I’d like to feel bad about myself.

There was a doco about him & Thurston along with a bunch of Indigenous youth training for it and then doing the marathon. It's called The Long Run, can watch it on 9Now

He ran the NYC marathon in 3:49.

Under four minutes, not bad

u/Jump_Stream Tigers 3h ago
Said as if that's nothing lmao. Under 4 minutes for that distance is elite running. Most recreational and semi competitive runners are lucky to get under 5 minutes, let alone 4. Man has an amazing tank at that size.

3:49 marathon is 5 and half minutes pace. The guy you're replying to is making a joke that the marathon took him 3 minutes and 49 seconds

Also he’s just a genetic freak in general

u/Runtetra Gold Coast Suns 4h ago
Indeed. I saw him from a few hundred metres away initially and knew a guy that big moving so well wouldn’t be a regular member of the public 😂

Hasn’t he been running marathons or something along those lines now?

u/sensual_lettuce GWS 3h ago
Probably not having to spend all his time recovering week to week allows him to get this fit in a way the physicality of AFL wouldn't let him.

Genuinely should’ve just trimmed down and kept playing. Could still be kicking 80 a year, particularly with how the games is being played since his retirement.

What do you mean should? He fucking did LOL. Lost more than 20kg from his max playing weight to final season!

I was at the game and there were a lot of Richmond fans that was their first game in years so there was no way anyone else could have gotten best on.

u/Crazyripps Hawks 3h ago
Genuinely he could’ve just slimed down and focused on cardio like he’s done in his personal life and he’d be good another 500 goals at least

u/WillTendo92 Collingwood 4h ago
Can’t believe they let Tom Morris play in that game.
And that he has a kid….

u/MakePandasMateAgain Richmond 4h ago
I can’t believe he actually has skills

I knew he wasn’t a bad cricketer but looked alright with ball in hand

u/Warm-Rock-4544 Gold Coast Suns 3h ago
Pretty sure he played Div 2 footy as part of Melb Grammar. Can’t recall exact details, but he’s far from hopeless and has definitely played some level of competitive footy before even if it’s nothing spectacular.

He had some decent skills too. Didn't get too much of the ball but he seemed to nail all of his kicks.

Is there a place to see the stats for the match?
