        Fire and the flood.. We played it at my nephew's birthday party on Saturday, my mum teared up as it brought back memories of GF day, what a legend!

                I still watch a quarter here and there almost every day of one of the finals. Lost count how many times I have seen each game.

                This is one of my favourite moments:



                I wonder what Leon Cameron mouths after Stringers kick to Dickson.

                  My favourite sporting moment of all time because the game was still in the balance until Stringer squared the ball to Dicko. The bit I like best is to listen to our supporters going crazy BEFORE the ball reaches Dicko. You have no idea how much I wished I'd been at that game. I really want to meet someone who was there to try and develop an inkling of what it was like. What a win! I've never heard commentators so delirious with joy over the result of a game and doubt whether I'll do so again. Far beyond seriously emotionally uplifting. There's no word capable of describing it. Heart-burstingly impactful moment.

                    Not sure if the goose bumps will ever stop when I watch this passage of play, but I'm hoping they never will.

                      Just amazing.

                      Great Octocall that too.

                        If you haven't watched the Post-Match celebrations on the DVD, well, watch them. You're in for some treats. Some great moments I hadn't seen until I saw the DVD:

                        During Bevo's speech, he thanks the AFL's major sponsor, Toyota, then sneaks a peek at the big screen to make sure he got it right. It might just be me but I found that amusing.

                        After he presents the cup, John Schultz hurries off the podium and scoots around to the front to get a good look at the celebration.

                        Watching Dahl and Woody's interviews, it sinks in just how much it means to some of the boys. Woody gets interviewed just after her found his mum in the crowd (they photo of the two of them is one of my favourites from the day), and Dahl is overcome when talking about the club that "took a punt" on him.

                        Sam Lane manages a one question interview with Bob Murphy before he charges back into the lap of honour.

                        Watch it, it's truly joyful.
