FLASHBACK: Rd 20 2016 vs Hawthorn

[Demonland 71,503]

Our unofficial Grand Final of 2016.

 

[Fat Tony 5,217]

We were brilliant that day.

[Sir Why You Little 36,963]

I was travelling to Koh Samui that day. By the time i got to my Hotel, we had just won. 
Cold Beers went down beautifully watching some replays 

[spalding 1,128]

I was at Flemington. Won on the ponies and surrounded by Hawks supporters watching the last 15 minutes. What a day!

[In Harmes Way 7,741]

What a great 10 minutes of footy, completely owned them. Ripper of a game.

I believe this game produced this one handed beauty of a pickup from Clarry (while we're reminiscing)

 

I'll be delighted if we kick 17 goals 7 this Sunday....

Dom Tyson played a blinder from memory.  That was the beginning of the end of the quest for 4 in a row.

[Neil Crompton 5,478]

Watching that 10 min clip you could be mistaken for believing the club would have to be insane to get rid of Watts, Stretch, Tyson, Bugg, Pedo and OMac.

Billy Stretch was excellent too.

I remember distinctly tearing up a bit on the train ride home from Nagoya.?
For newer Demonlanders, defeating either Hawthorn or Geelong was considered an impossible pipe dream back in the day. I felt quite surreal. It had been so long since it had even seemed credulous that we could beat them. Sure, we had gotten within 3 goals or so a few times. But their bigger bodies and greater experience made sure they had the situation well in hand whenever we put up a challenge. ?

The dark day were over with that win.    We had not beaten them in a decade or more, and they were the reigning premiers.   Good times, good times.

The day the 10 year fog lifted. 

A glorious day well inside my top 10 days (in 45 years) as a Dees supporter.

That was the also the debut game for Sam Weiderman. During the second quarter Oliver won a centre clearance that resulted in a Brayshaw goal on the run that I remember well.

crying or vandalistically ripping up items on the train?

Some wins just hit different...

That last Qtr... that feeling when we knew we were actually going to beat the premiers!

Was euphoric like. A win I'll never forget.

& I'm smiling as a type this :)

Who's to say I wasn't doing both? Surges of indecipherable emotion can cause unorthodox reactions.

Probably the day that stuck in Jordan Lewis’s head later that year when Clarko asked would he consider moving to the Suns

It was a Foxtel broadcast, not on free-to-air, and we watched it on my son's phone, on hands and knees - the phone was propped up against the skirting board (beats me!). When the Watts-dink-to-Tyson-Tyson-snap happened I nearly put my fist through the floor. And it was a concrete slab...

No 4 is a fair player....

Possibly the greatest isolated fraction of non-goal-related pure football brilliance I've ever seen.
