Very important to advertise this type of stuff for younger fans and new fans of the game. History of the game is important even if it hasn't been perfect.
is a better speaker than almost anyone in the media.
That's not a very high bar.
Ngl I thought he died because of the title
Me too RIP Leigh Matthews
Usual clickbait bs
Yeah look i read great as late so that didn’t help ahaha
could of spoke more about the lions era, only won 3 in a row and one of the greatest teams of all time
Inaugural AFL Hall of Fame Legend - To think Dunstall started his career as Leigh finished. Hawks have had some outstanding players.
As yes, 'Lethal' Leigh Matthews: four-time AFL premiership winner with Hawthorn and tacked on another four titles as a coach starting by breaking Collingwood's 32-year drought in 1990 and Brisbane Lions' three-peat between 2001 and 2003.
8x's Best & Fairest. Says it all.
And yet so humble.
All-time best player Gary Ablett snr ... Nicknamed "God", Ablett is widely regarded as one of Australian football's greatest players and was especially renowned for his high-flying spectacular marks and his prolific goalkicking.
Too bad he's not the subject of this video then.... Irrelevant.
Leigh was the greatest of all time no doubt.
G.O.A.T doesnt do him justice the way it's thrown out theese days .
The absolute man
Broke Neville Bruns jaw. Hit Keith Grieg twice in a GF. Destroyed the knee and career of probably the GOAT late in a State of Origin game when the result had already been decided ie Barrie Robran.
Matthews was a brutal sniper and thug and should be remembered as such!
@@Matthew24.4 Still sore I see.
No
In this hyped up game he spoke the truth.
Better types around over many football eras would be more deserving of this title.
But if you'll overlook blatant thuggery in your heros then he's your man.
@Matthew24.4
You could quote quite a few other acts to your list of Matthews misdemeanours. Worth a mention is one at an end of season 1971 state game WA v Victoria.
I just reviewed the footage and commentary, Matthews full frontal, top pace elbow tackle to Barry Cable's head was described by one commentator as a "dog act". Animosity between the two states was at fever pitch for several years after that, including a period about eight months later at the Australian carnival in mid season 1972. Officials of both sides didn't speak one cordial word to each other for the 10 day duration of the carnival.
Matthews had skill but was a long way from being a hero or GOAT in the opinion of a lot of fair minded people.
Ablett is the G O A T by a mile.
From an era when footy players had jobs and the fans were the most important. The AFL (Australian Financial League) have destroyed everything. Money and TV rights are more important now.
Pity he is truly lethal
How good is lethal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Such a grounded and intelligent football brain.
Amazing questions , bet he has not had those before .
'Lethal' Leigh Matthews, Peter Daicos , Stephen Silvagni ,Sticks Kernahan , Dustin Martin , Gary Ablett Jnr , what a time in your life to follow AFL
Daicos kernahan please
The 1971 GF win was against st kilda by 20 points, not against essendon
Yeah, I noticed that. Bit of a Joe Biden moment!
Nah....He got the margin of 7 points correct, but the opponent incorrect.
7 points not 20
2:20 GF win in 1971 against Essendon??
Yeah what’s up with that? Think he mixed up 1990 and 1971
Stkilda
@@frankmachin5438 1983 even.
He kicked 11 against Essendon in 1973.
Champion, Match-winner & THE GOAT.....End of/
Coward puncher?
@@lukemerrett5889 Gave As good As he got in An era where behind the play incidents & square-ups were common - & never whined About it....unlike some others.
Breaking jaws, and “Re-Breaking Collar Bones . “ you cost me a Grand Final 😡. “ it was you or the team !! ( collar-bone during training )
One dislike from Neville Bruns
And several others too before much longer.
@hanajinks now Andrew Demetriou has disliked
GOAT
Surprised he ranked Pies ahead of 3 in a row at lions!
King hit from behind Bruns incident......Matthews then faced a criminal charge of assault, to which he pleaded guilty, and was fined $1,000. Thug & a crim
Bruns was a shame but we all make huge mistakes.
I’ll never forgive him for what he did to Bruns. A huge black mark on an otherwise amazing career.
No greater THUG in the Game.
Matthews was known for playing the man not the ball, and was often king hitting players from their blind spot. Under today's rules he would be banned from the sport.
@johnnytheprick your opinion is clearly not based on fact. In any case Matthews was thug on the field - that is undisputed.
Yep; king hit players from behind, never front on where they could see it coming, always from behind or side on when the player couldn't see it coming. Total thug.
@@markdouglas9182 Pretty sure the Barry Cable one was fully front-on.....Barney gave as good as he copped on field & never squealed about it......Unlike you here.
@@alansimmonds9030 true, but Cable's a p e d o
No respect for a thug
His thug punch on Bruns, makes this title invalid
I'll never forget what he did to Bruns. What a weak dog! A total flog.
What about ej
What about the 10,000 thug punches each year from other VFL footballers around victoria in the 1960s 1970s and 1980s?
Joel Selwood's punch on Brent Guerra makes all of his titles and accolades invalid using this logic...
No mention of all of the cheap shots and dive he took, regardless of the numbers he’s a grub
As a coach . Endured it with gritted teeth 😕❤️⬛️⬜️ wtf !!
LOL.....The psychological scars he inflicted run deep for some oppo supporters.....This is why he's the greatest.
Can’t stand the man!
Broke Neville Bruns jaw. Hit Keith Grieg twice in a GF. Destroyed the knee and career of probably the GOAT late in a State of Origin game when the result had already been decided ie Barrie Robran.
Matthews was a brutal sniper and thug and should be remembered as such!
Nicely said
Hard tough player, they all were during the 70s and 80s.
Nah....He's remembered as the Goat among his peers & always will be. (Except for the sooks, poor losers & squealers).
out and out thug, no respect for Matthews... Sniper...
Could someone please inform me on what these comments are with the time stamps and pictures of asian women saying that they are lonely with kisses and hearts????? Wtf is the point of them as they are on so many videos🤔
They are bots. I couldn't say why they appear in the comments so much.
@@jpog7060 yep thought that was the case but wasn't sure. Thanks for the reply, I owe you a beer👍
Crikey, I thought he'd died!
December 2010 December 2011 January February 2012 July 2023 January February 2011
I like Leigh's commentary and what he's done for the game... BUT!!
Christ he was a dirty player, king hitting from behind, coathangers, blindsiding etc...
He cd definitely play the game, but go watch some of those greatest hits vids from the 70s and 80s... half of em are Matthews.
ONLY 2 ALL AUSTRALIAN'S?
all Australian's were different back then. They were based off of the state of origin teams I think
Barney avoided playing for Victoria as much as possible.
He didn't play for Geelong that's why...
Nothing Great about him as a person .
So great he wouldn't get a game today...too slow...too small and too thuggish.
Now we have athletes, with poor skills. I prefer the old days.
Played in wet soggy Victorian mudpits...wouldn't last a quarter at the garbage or optus.
Saw Matthews play. Played some good games. Played some average games.
Leigh Matthews was the greatest for a time, but Gary Jnr was great in his prime or better as well. Matthews was still beatable. Gary Jnr wasn't for a long time.
Matthews was a thug. Belted blokes nearly every time he went near an opponent. And was hated by opponents.
Dustin Martin's IS Matthews equal now.
Matthews is not the GOAT. That's a myth now.
4 premiership as a player and 4 premiership as a coach says otherwise.
@@toby772 and as many broken jaws
@@brettr5547 those are bonus points. 915 goals also is pretty damn impressive
So did ej Whitten but he's Mr footy
It's no myth diddums.....Bloke won more games off his own boot than any other player.
ablett junior no where near as damaging forward of center- where it counts the most.
Meh. Thug.
