💣 When the game's greatest ever goalkicker announced in December 2001 that he was returning to the AFL after two seasons out of the game, eyebrows were raised.

🙏 There wasn't a whole lot of footage from this era to deal with, so you'll have to make do with a few more Ken Burns images than I would've liked. If you like these historical videos, let me know what you wanna see more of!
