    It was the moment wasn't it?

    30 seconds that changed everything

    Who knows?  If the free kick isn't paid then the Cats might have been able to kill the game with all 36 players hemmed in that forward pocket

    It's just as well Gus got pinged in order for the chain of events to then follow.  Another deliberate, the kick to Gawn, the Gawn goal, top of the ladder etc etc

    Amazing memories which led to the drought-breaking flag

    And now we want more and we've got the team to do it

    I found myself sitting next to a Cats supporter yesterday (I drifted in to watch a non MFC game for only the second time in 50 years of football attendance).  He asked me if I remembered the last quarter of the last round of 2021?  Remember? Remember?? I nearly choked on my cheese platter!!

    it was one of many in that time.  I still have in my deepest darkest memories being teased by my grandfather in the aftermath of the 87 prelim.  I was staying at my grandparents' house in Camberwell while my parents were in Queensland, and as soon as the game ended, I did the whole dramatic thing of running off to my mother's childhood bedroom, closing the door and throwing myself violently on the bed in full wail mode.  I could hear Pa laughing at me and Grandma telling him off like he was a school bully.  I was 16, it's the first time I remember crying over a football game.  Growing up a Melbourne supporter in the 80s with Hawthorn supporting relatives is not all it's cracked up to be :)

    Not sure it was cracked up to be anything....🤣

    Hawthorn supporters

    In 2008 my 4y.o. son's day care centre manager pulled me to one side to let me know that he had been walking around all day saying that Hawthorn supporters were scum!  Whilst we agreed that he was not far from the truth, I did have to ask him to perhaps keep that fact to himself when at daycare.
