Daniel is joined by Lucas as we go back all the way to 2013 to see if a curse could be broken. In the 2013 preliminary final it was a clash of the titans as the Hawthorn Hawks took on the Geelong Cats. The Cats had defeated the Hawks 11 straight times following the Hawks upset win in the 2008 Grand Final. As the Cats winning streak grew it was labelled the “Kennett Curse”, as after the 2008 Grand Final Jeff Kennett (former Victorian Premier & Hawks president) had come out and said that Geelong lacked the mental fortitude to get it done against Hawthorn, when it really mattered. The Cats of course took exception to this and vowed to never lose to the Hawks again. Now the Kennett Curse would be put to the ultimate test as the Hawks looked to cement their place in history with another premiership cup (but first they'd have to get to the Grand Final). What we got was one of the great finals of all time! Tune in to see how it played out.
On a Sunday afternoon, the Melbourne Demons hosted the West Coast Eagles for the first time in over a decade. Melbourne desperately needed the win to keep their top 8 hopes alive. On the Eagles side of things, the drums were beating and it looked like premiership coach Adam Simpsons time could be coming to an end. Tune in to see how it played out!
