Six Points: Channel 7's commentary, the AFL's most underrated coach, and what on earth is wrong with a draw?
Eight weeks is usually the point where the AFL ladder has taken its shape for the season - and thanks to Opening Round, that's…
Flashback to Round 21 2005, and Fremantle Dockers ruckman Justin Longmuir takes a screamer with 10 seconds to go. Fremantle are a point down.
Longmuir from the right forward pocket of the Subiaco end of the ground keeps cool and drills it through the middle.
The crowd goes nuts.
Eight years later, Longmuir is in the West Coast coaches box, he witnesses history repeat as Luke Shuey bombs it in to the pocket that Longmuir made famous, hoping for a mark.
Nic Nat flies high and takes a grab almost identical to that of his coach.
He goes back and the siren sounds. He steadies and boots it straight through for an eagles win.
It is almost scary how similar the circumstances are between these two match-winning kicks.
They both were on a Friday night at Subiaco Oval, their respective teams had come from behind and were pressing forward, both teams got a free kick on the wing and the player who took the free kick bombed it long.
A big ruckman then took a huge contested mark and from the same pocket of the same end, from the same distance they converted to win there team the match.
Even the after goal celebration was the same!

There's some high standards at Sydney!
Wouldn't want to be Jack Scrimshaw right now!
Jack Petruccelle gave up a 50m penalty and a goal to young Sun Will Graham, after spoiling the ball away after it had gone…
Dimma was not happy with this kick out of bounds on the full from Touk Miller!
