    I remember the stunned looks on their faces.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Massive thumbs up and agreement with Webby. Really enjoy your contributions on the forum and that one was no different. I too feel that way about Essendon. My hatred for them is matched only by my love for the Scray. Was sitting up in the rafters that night and remember feeling like our Club just changed the way footy was played, forever. I don't think we'd seen anything quite like it tactically and the pure theatre of it all as we picked them apart was brilliant. I hurt them to drop the perfect season, even more so to us.

            A few have already mentioned many of mine: 2000 against Essendon, Crossy/Tommy saving the woman, the fightback, the half-time chant last year…

            If I could add anything to this list, it would be the 2009 prelim, in particular our fans. We'd been building towards something special for years, we felt we had the team for a real shot. Many of us detest the Saints and all they stand for, then to face decisions like the Riewoldt dive, etc. and I remember feeling so physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually crushed.

            Then after the game, watching my fellow Dogs fans, equally crushed, shaking hands with the Sainters and wishing them good luck. My partner, new to the cloth, commented on the difference between our behaviour and that of Collingwood, Essendon or West Coast fans after a loss of that magnitude and I just felt incredibly proud of the biggest section of our club.

                    Even if we had lost, I would have been proud today. We didn't have any passengers. But it was a great win, and an important one.

                        It was a hard win but we gutted it out. Proud but drained

                            Most people would have taken any range of excuses if we lost. The side today didn't want to make any excuses, they wanted pride and a win and did what it took to literally the last second.

                                That is a perfect summary.
