Some of the best limbs I've seen at Hindmarsh. Surely worth getting hold of iso feeds from Paramount+ to post? Need to see more extended replay vision from that moment @AdelaideUnited@matty_mays@ParamountPlusAU
Nine years ago today, @AdelaideUnited completed the fairytale and won their first @aleaguemen championship.
My documentary film, Champions in May, released last year and tells the full story from start to finish ๐

Six years ago today, @craig_goodwin11 scored the greatest double in Australian football history๐ Those FFA Cup finals at Hindmarsh were so special ๐
@NoContextAUFC He sort of changed the way football is played in the A-league. Back in 2015 he was slaughtered for having the goalkeeper and defense play high and play out from the back in the league they called him mad and since then everyone's doing it. His team played some great football too
@MrTbloke@angeball1234@NoContextAUFC What else has he done?
-Signed some of our greatest players in Isaias, Cirio, Craig, Elrich, Marrone and Pablo
-Established a winning culture and brand of football after years of failure
-Won the club's first trophy since 2005
-Brought Guillermo Amor to the club
A video I wish I didn't have to make ๐ Farewell Hiroshi Ibusuki, here's some of his best. Watch all 30 goals for Adelaide United via my YT, link in the comments ๐
And so finally, Champions in May is out. I wrote this film 4yrs ago while interning at AUFC. I'd never made a doco before but I had a vision in my head and I was going to achieve it. I was also so lucky to have @ThatGuyTimBaker above me, who was always receptive to my ideas (1/4)
It's finally here ๐คฉ

All I can ask now is that as many people watch Champions in May as possible. I started my YouTube account making videos about AUFC when I was a teenager, and every single person who took the time out of their day to watch and share those videos genuinely helped me get to where I am right now. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Also have to say a big thanks to @matty_mays who showed both myself and Champions in May a huge amount of respect and has been fantastic to work with in getting it out to the public.
If you got this far, thanks for reading my spiel, and watch Champions in May here: https://t.co/22iXEy2ruN

As time passed, it became vitally important to document and preserve the full story of the 2015/16 championship in a form that could be accessed and enjoyed by all.
It took two years of my life to make this film, from research, writing and conducting interviews, archiving and gathering footage, and a solid seven months of editing.
A key driving force also, was that I wanted to recreate my experience and emotion of witnessing the events unfolding live in 2013 to 2016. (2/4)
By the time the doco was finished, I had moved on from football and Tim also went on to bigger and better things. Now, over two years later, and ironically six weeks after the release of my second documentary film, Champions in May is finally available to watch
I won't go into detail about why the doco has only now released, but I've been reflecting on my involvement in football these past few weeks, and I can't quite quantify the impact it has had on my life and my career, a big part thanks to my mentor in Tim, who gave me a shot when I was a 19 year old uni student, and merely someone he knew of from Twitter. There's no better person I could've learnt from and grown under. (3/4)
