    How the Western Bulldogs were reborn in four minutes at the SCG

    And they just keep rolling in.

    Some great pics in this one, good also to see Boydy giving it to the big Canadian.

    A fighting victory against the experts of the grafting win, the Sydney Swans, was sealed for the Western Bulldogs in a final four minutes to remember, writes Dean Bilton.

    I like the tone of the article but there are some sloppy errors in it. Hrovat, not Picken, kicked it to the boundary. And Wood handballed to JJ, not Jong, in the final play - pretty inexcusable errors before going to print to be honest.

      Robbo highlights the last 3 minutes. This guy from the ABC the last 4 minutes. Reminds of the hitchhiker from "Something about Mary" that wants to release the "7 minute abs workout" to knock off the "8 minute abs folk"

        I am still shaking my head how Wood got up so high to kick the winning goal. Amazing athleticism. Let's not forget Murphy's ducking and weaving and long kick into the forward line and Dahl's snap from nowhere for Wood to run on to.

          Would the ball have gone through anyway? Wood seemed to kick it right on the line. Not forgetting it was a great snap by Dahl.

            Dahl's kick was touched.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                I'm not sure it was. That said if Wood hadn't kicked it, it would have been touched for sure as the ball was moving so slowly so he had to kick it either way

                  Swans player touched it after Dahl kicked it.

                    I didn't think so when I saw the replay. I think it squeezed though

                      Look again. Dahl's kick was clearly touched.

                        I invite you to watch again. It looks to me that it was not touched but scraped past the armpit

                          That armpit changed the motion of the ball.

                            Dahl didn't seem to think it was touched. He said something along the lines of Woody 'stealing his goal' in his presser the other day.

                              I'm happy to watch it again and check.
