Reflecting a bit now after the post siren euphoria and all that footage of AJ being consoled by his team mates, some who were visibly upset, almost got me a bit teary......it's just too cruel to be true.
Oh and Heeney's mark was a cracker! He's been threatening to do that since his first season.....
His last quarter was enormous (let alone that grab!!!) How we need about 5 of him.... a couple for the forward line, a couple for midfield and one in the backline please.Originally Posted by Daisi
A call out to George Hewett - I thought he was enormous for us today - a quality game from him.

Well, I did think that there were two Chelsea's for a while.
Hear, hear!!!! Also whilst sinkers was soundly beaten in the ruck, he never stopped trying.
He had some poor moments but I think you'd have to agree that 26 possessions is better than expected. I hope we keep him.
Given the criticism he’s copped this year, that’s a compliment.
He got around the ground much better today. But he seems to be lacking penetration with both his kicks and handballs. Several times he took the right option, only to find the kick dribble short or the handball fall short.

Mark of the year (so far) for mine. But maybe a bit biased.Reflecting a bit now after the post siren euphoria and all that footage of AJ being consoled by his team mates, some who were visibly upset, almost got me a bit teary......it's just too cruel to be true.

Sensational Bloods team effort, all for one and one for all, one of the most fighting, against all odds efforts this season. I don't think we had a passenger all day, every player played their hearts out, and Heeney's last quarter was fantastic. This season still on for the Bloods. Bloody fantastic
How the hell do we even up the clearances against that beast Max Gawn. Some of his tapwork is sublime.
Thought Hanners played his best game by far this year. He seems to be moving a bit better, but some woeful disposals by hand and foot. He was pretty accurate when it counted in the last quarter though.
By the way, almost no one (no one at the Age and only 1 person at the Herald Sun) tipped us. We seem to play better as underdogs
I thought of the 2003 final as well. This would equal it, as a tremendous, gutsy effort by an injury depleted, and emotionally churned up team. Our team is extraordinary.
