That single forearm choke vs Gus every time we rewatch it just hits different 😭🔥

Honestly never thought i'd see a choke that clean outside of a John Wayne movie ah well,

that choke hits different cos i can still hear the waves crashing on bondi that night, couldn’t tell if it was the ocean or half the room going mental when that tap came

That 2017 night at Bondi? Absolute gold. The atmosphere was unreal—pure chaos, the kind that sticks in your bones for years. You felt every scream in your chest, like the whole world held its breath when that tap came. Now though? Look around. The crowd’s still loud, the passion’s still there, but it’s… different. More polished. Less raw. We’ve traded some of that edge for structure, and while it’s not a bad thing, it’s not the same fire. Back then, every moment felt spontaneous, untamed—like the game couldn’t be scripted even if it tried. It’s still *us*, just… evolved. Same club, same colours, same love. But that night? That night was magic in its purest form. No rehearsal, no second takes—just pure, unfiltered joy.

Wait till you lot make this choke out to be some mystical Moon landing when it was just two good mates brawling over a pint like always. Bondi in '17, yeah, the room shook because half the blokes there had a skinful already and Gus tapping meant another round was on — I remember Old Dave at the bar literally doing a jig after because he’d bet twenty quid on the choke landing. Twenty bloody quid!

yeah nah but remember that bloke mick who was waving his arse round the front row like a man possessed when Jon locked that choke just cos he "knew" Gus was going out? ended up spilling half his schooner on my shoes but i couldn’t even be mad cos the energy was that proper you know

wait till youse hear the one about young sean from hackney who showed up that night with a homemade "jonny jones for pm" placard but forgot to remove the price tag so every time he waved it the oc just glinted like a disco ball 💃🔥 poor lad ended up signing half the front row’s beer mats coz they were too blurry from the glare to read his own name 🤣
