#176: Hugh Makes History

These are the days you live for as a footy fan.3 points down with less than a minute left in a prelim, in front of more than 95, 000 people in the MCG - it’s the stuff of fan fiction, of kids playing in the backyard and making up the most epic scenarios they can imagine.And what better man to step up to the plate than Hugh McCluggage.The first one drafted under Chris Fagan, the first top pick who stayed, the quietly spoken boy who’s become a man at the club, the one who’s career has gone from strength to strength…Until this year, where the curveballs have hit, the form has dropped, and things have been tough most of the way through.All of that is ancient history now, though, with two late Hugh goals sending the Lions into their fourth straight Grand Final, equalling the extraordinary run of Leigh Matthew’s Lions and providing the most remarkable opportunity: the threepeat is only one more win away.This week on the podcast:-The blow-by-blow account of a prelim we’ll never forget-Who could come in for Lachie Neale?-Our Grand Final week plansWe are here thanks to Kartable - Planning for later or needing now?
