History shows that Melbourne knocked us off and played finals for the first time in 23 years.
I was there and now it's up to the girls to avenge the defeat.
Maybe the club could have organized the team from that day to form a guard of honour for the girls.

I was there too HR. I remember Hawks beating Cats by a couple of points to knock them out of the finals as well.

Yes b4L it was bit of a downer for me. Then i was sitting on the train at West footscray and a middle aged demon got on and exclaimed ' i am so happy' in a loud drunken voice. And i thought, yeah fair play to you mate, you're about to go to the finals for the first time in 23 years.

But i'm older and bitter now. Get stuffed demons. Go dogs.

At 3/4 time v the Demons 1985 at Whitten oval we were 80 points in front and the Dee's fans were pouring out of any exit they could find. The boys had a quick housekeeping meeting. "Guys, these poor bastards have done it even harder than over the last 20 years. We are on the way to the finals and they can't get out of here fast enough. Do we take pity on them?" "Arseholes to that idea. Why the *!*!*!*! would we take pity on them? They wouldn't take pity on us." And with that we leant over the railings at the Barkly St and gave those entitled bastards both barrels...

And won by 100 points plus. The last time I really got very drunk at the footy....sitting in the Footscray Mail's box. Couldn't remember much about the footy.

Melbourne should have capitalised better on the breeze. Being made to pay.

We didn't need the Melbourne goal into the breeze.

Skills have been appalling to date

Looks like a big crowd here, not sure how it compares to other games?

Melbourne bloke behind me that half was like a curse for them - every time he said good kick or well done it was a turnover.

Good old Roy Jamieson. He wrote some of the most involved match reports I've ever read. Always loved Wednesday evenings in footy season because win, lose or draw Roy would write up the game in intricate derail and I knew that my night would be taken up. Then there was he Western Times coverage.

5 points down and coming home with the breeze, come on Dogs!!!

A draw still possible = both teams advance to the Granny unless Adelaide destroy Collingwood.

Goal!!!

Siren!!!!

Another Granny, wow, great stuff

Gutsy win

Fantastic. We are going to the GF.

Go Dogs!!
