    Awesome that we won a game like that. Very rare for a Bulldogs team of any flavour to get over the line in those circumstances.
    Stacks on, bench cleared, everyone piling in on each other. It's was just brilliant.

    It was a strange game, we were incredibly flat most of the day and just hanging in there, we than just pulled our finger out and piled on the goals at the end.

      Did Roberts go with the Barrell or the drop punt from 60 Slim?
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        He went the drop punt, it wasn't a classic kick but got the job done

            For those who haven't seen it, rough footage of the final kick is here - pretty impressive, and nice to get a sense of what it was like while over in the US.

                And this gives a better sense of just how far young Fletch was out.

                  Indeed!! Wilbur and Honeychurch were doing a grand odd-couple tango.

                    Great news! Something to be happy about after a pretty miserable day at the Docklands.

                    Carn the Scray!

                        Didn't Roberts turn it on in a TAC Cup granny the year he was drafted? Seems like a big game footballer

                          Yes he did. The kick was handy but the mark was excellent.

                              Love the big bear hug he gets from a plain clothed Liam Jones in the midst of the celebration.

                              Also good to see my man Sam Boyd get a run at VFL level.

                                My favourite part was the big shove in the back Will gave the Richmond player as the ball was wobbling through!
                                More of an In Bruges guy?
