What a great night that was in Sydney. Spenny's goal in the rain could not have been scripted. Brilliant Marinator's shirts in the away bay (thanks Mick).

Agreed, one of the best away trips ever because it was the first (Perth round one aside).

That shirt will be making a comeback for Heritage Round.

Just for a moment there, I wondered if you were trying to put together a top ten list of Damiens/Damians, now that would have been really hard Recky……

 

[bikinigirl]

. so i've seen the most likely to head for a cheeky maccas and a ciggy after a game (Tommy P)

. and now the most likely to be seen at the bar having a beer after the match with fans (Stewie P)

. i was expecting someone to throw up (pun partially intended): top 10 pie-eaters or something similar

Matches from Season 1. Hard to believe its been 20 years!

The quality of broadcast camera's then compared to now is incredible. Any time you see footage from the mid-2000's, it now looks like it's from the bloody 90's.

Disappointed someone has left Dabney off the list

Found its mainly that first preseason cup was shocking quality. Games were not telecast and just used for highlights. Most other videos I've source the quality has been decent and held up its own (so far!). Or maybe that is just a reflection of the poor quality of Paramount + these days!

The quality of the camera itself is better today, the amount of cameras and skill of the operators is another question.

Paramount is far, far worse than Fox in that regard, sometimes only having two cameras at the ground with normally one operated by someone clearly very inexperienced. Coupled with a clear lack of production crews sometimes it's depressing that coverage from nearly 20 years ago can at times be better if not for HD.

Later Fox and Paramount very similar as Fox cut back to only a couple of cameras

Yeah, Paramount/APL clearly copied Fox's dying days of broadcast for their production estimate, leading to a very basic production outside of the "marquee" fixtures.

I just want 4 cameras and I would be happy

The APL led broadcast scales up and down. The bigger fixtures do tend to have a good variety of angles and even decent production, but the P+ exclusive games vary dramatically.

We really shouldn’t downplay just how bad Foxtel was at the end,

 

[thetormentor]

The P+ games seem to have a minimum of 5 cameras, with the bigger games getting more.

What happened to the camera that used to be at the back of bay 16?.

Apart from the semi and GF hasn't been seen for years.

They’ll probably find it somewhere under the stadium in a few years Syd

Interesting selection, I'm tempted to include Garcia just cos I like the song about him drinking Sangria

Garcia prioritised playing in a Liverpool legends game over playing for us at one point. Biggest name to play for us? Probably yes, a legend of our club? No for me.
