2002. We were completely gassed at 3/4 time. The only reason the game was played at the G was because there was a stipulation at the time that at least 1 game each week of the finals needed to be played at the MCG

Travis Johnstone was unbelievably good in that 3rd quarter. It was a crazy game for emotions.
At the end of the game I walked home from the MCG all the way to Brunswick, randomly swearing and kicking things.

2021 GF. Flew in on the day with my 10yr old son. Sat behind the goals with the Dees fans. Soaked up the atmosphere and got a bit emotional listening to Up there Cazaly of all things!! Thought we were absolutely gone after Bont’s goal. They were marking everything and we had lost all composure. If I was at home I would have thrown the remote at the TV but I was strangely calm. I told my son we’d leave early if we were getting flogged and then it all changed. Knew it was over after Brown’s goal in the last. 
 

2000 final against Carlton. Great game and such an exciting finish. Cam Bruce and Brad Green showing their skills. Carlton fans sooking it up big time. 
 

1998 round 8 or so against the filth. We won by 3 points and I’m pretty sure both Rocca brothers hit the post late. Smith was huge. 
 

1998 round 22 against the Tigers. They had to win to make finals and we flogged them. Farmer’s mark……unbelievable, and the roar when they replayed it on the screen was almost louder than the actual mark. 
 

I also saw us when I was about 10 barely gear over the line against the Bears at Carara when Capper was plodding in the twos. Family and friends only watched that slip with about as much atmosphere as a rugby league game.

This confirms my theory that demonland is better in the off-season. Terrific thread. Great memories.
