Love how the camera is so shaky from 50,000 people jumping up and down literally shaking the grandstand.

I left after Leon Davis kicked that goal had Pies fans waving me good bye as i was exiting the arena. I remember having my head down as i was walking to the station and then all of a sudden i saw a bunch of Essendon supporters running back to the G im thinking "wtf is going on" so i asked an Essendon supporter and he said "Bombers are down by 2 points" i was like "no way" so i entered back in and witnessed Zaka kicking the goal.
Thank god i went back.

Never left a game before the final siren in my life and after that game, I never will.

As soon as Ambrose and TBC are fit, that's what I'd be doing. Fletcher is damaging enough to play as a rebounder.
Yeah that's the lesson i learnt.

Number one rule we cant allow them a free man in the backline. If i see this i will be wanting Jimmy back asap as i already do.
In: Winderlich, TBC, Goddard
Out: Jetta, Ashby, JoeD
I think we now finally probably have our best side with only Dempsey missing. Is that right?
I really dont know what to do about Carlisle and Hurley. Do we switch them or not? it wont happen. I think down the track (this season) we will look at TBC and JoeD as our key forwards with Hardingham 3rd tall. Goddard playing more forward as he has with Winders and Chapman as the smalls capable of rotating into the midfield.
Down back we go with Hibberd, Baguley, Fletcher, Carlisle, Hurley and Hooker. Dempsey playing off a wing roaming down back when hes fit. Otherwise maybe Fletcher has to make way.
Im unsure as it everyone how to go with it. Story is we lack a genuine true key forward for the now. JoeD is going to be that player in a year or 2 i just hope he develops quick enough so that guys like Winderlich, Watson, Chapman, Fletcher are still around playing good footy.
The last guy i would be dropping is Zacka for this game. He thinks he owns this day now, he will come to play you will see a different Zacka i reckon this week. Id go to him before the game as coach and pulling by the front of the jumper and say "You not only play for this club now, you barracked for us as a kid, you love this club now play like you do. This is your day Zacka you own it, dont let us lose.
I have no doubts that Zacka will be one of our better players this week.

Poor old Ricky Dyson gets forgotten but I remember being never so sure of someone slotting a goal in my life. RICKY
And that little chip pass by NLM to set up Zaka.

everyone involved in that final play executed their part as well as anyone could have.
ive left one early, that abortion of a final v carlton, could not handle it
you reckon he kicks the goal if he goes back, pulls up the socks and takes a set shot?
Dempsnay is back training with the main group now, spoke to the playing group before training, eatling a little humble pie.
Ambrose is back to full running, bring back curtley

possibly, but i reckon the siren would've sent his adrenaline into overdrive. i'll always believe acting on instinct was the right move.
yup, and we have to thank the collingwood guy too, becasue he knocked him off the kick making it straight, i reckon he was missing before the bump

Yeah, not once for me. Not even towards the end of 2012 when I went to games knowing we'd get thumped...
most biased was quatermain after the lloyd hit on sewell, he was just barracking like a fan in the outer.

The Triple M call was the best, insofar as Lyon, Taylor and Brayshaw completely devolving into gibbering hysteria.

I love the Triple M hysteria... They were hilarious on Monday
In truth, I pinched that from Jackie Milochek over at BB.
