I'll get a pic if I can, but the way Sam Newman is dressed as coach reminds me of someone - but I can't think who!!
Anthony Rocca hasn't lost it. He sunk a 75 metre bomb that Sav would have been proud of! And Hutchy actually kicked a good goal of the wrong side of his right foot!!
It's great fun! Scores are level at quarter time.

Controversy!! It's another Sirengate!
Ryan Fitzgerald kicked a goal right on the siren it appeared to win it for the All Stars but they went to the replay, and it was ruled that the siren beat him to the kick by a split second! It was going to be given to the Vics, but then they decided on a shoot out (which is usually what happens with a draw!).
(I love the Legends Game!)
Edit - the Vic have the win after all. 111 to 109.

Be interesting to see the tv ratings in Melbourne. The game is always popular on tv. We didn't get to see the game here in Sydney. Thanks Channel 9

Yeah well in hindsight they should have because Garry Lyon and James Brayshaw gave a mighty plug to the SOO like good little Channel 9 promoters.
I'd love to see how it rated, especially as it knocked Sea Patrol off the air for a week down here and that usually rates well.

What do the three stars mean, Beau? And which city is missing from the figures? I assume Perth.

Stars mean not shown in that city.
TV Ratings are always presented as follows:
Program - Total - Sydney - Melbourne - Brisbane - Adelaide - Perth
Taking the example above for the Legends game, the ratings are for Total, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth as the game was not broadcast in Sydney or Brisbane hence the stars.

Amazing figures for a game that really is just a bit of fun and is only broadcast in the AFL states.
