The turning point in that game came just before halftime. Justin Charles was handing John Barne's arse to him on a plate at ruck contests and around the ground. Barnes went off the ground with a soft tissue injury and in desperation Geelong threw Barry Stoneham into the ruck. Stoneham got on top of Charles and all of a sudden Ablett started to get the ball kicked to him and that was all she wrote.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I feel like we need to do a Bradbury in a way. Get in a winning position (again) but just have our opponents make a mess of it.
That'd lead to howls of us not deserving a GF berth etc which would be frustrating, but I'd take it.
I don't know why I'm doing this, maybe still suffering post traumatic stress disorder?
I got to 53 seconds, that's all. Good luck if anyone can go the journey.

No, I wish I could say different but I can't seem to let it go. I don't think about it all the time, but funnily enough, someone at the weekend teased me about it My god, the pain still ripped at my heart like it was yesterday. It's just lucky there wasn't a traffic jam on the bridge that night, or I think I would have jumped out of the car and leapt off. I remember waking up the next morning with the Crows song blasting in my mind - oh, it makes me feel sick now just thinking about it.
The only remedy will be a premiership I reckon
Watched that youtube clip, actually made me physically ill. Thanks for posting.
