Going through a range of emotions. One of shock, relaxation and elation all simultaneously. It was odd, but I felt relaxed throughout the game and had no anxiety about the final result. I was already happy the team surpassed expectations, but to see them hold on in the end was very satisfying. I'm also shocked we didn't lose our nerve and let West Coast run all over us.
I didn't give us a chance tonight. I thought there were too many obstacles in our way to overcome West Coast. We had to contend with a few factors:
- Being stuck in quarantine.
- Playing an opponent who was unbeaten at home for the entire season up until now.
- Big question marks has to whether we could kick a winning score. Our highest score for the year is 81 points.
- West Coast being bolstered by some major inclusions, excluding Yeo.
Great to see my man Checkers step up in a big finals match. Took the game by the scruff of the neck, particularly in the second half.
Cox transforming into god mode at the start was reminiscent of his performance two years ago in the Preliminary Final. It ironically made the difference in the final result.
It should be abundantly clear that centre clearances are a big concern for the team. We need to find a way to address it and have it rectified by next year. Grundy's had an unusually down year, but I think we have to excuse it considering the high standard he's produced for us over several years.
Geelong is very beatable. They have a poor record in finals under Chris Scott, and we'll have the confidence of knowing we can beat them. We did it earlier this year in the season, and beat them in a Qualifying Final last year.
Nice to survive the season for another week. It's been a unique challenge, but Bucks summed it up after the game. We've developed a lot of "resilience" as a club out of this whole experience.

Great win, just a great win.
Dare to dream stuff.
Clangers happen every game and with the added pressure that finals bring there’s always bound to be a few doozies. But the whole side had a never say die attitude which is all you can ask for. It’s almost a case of the side that makes the least mistakes.
Not wanting to single anyone out, but I feel that Phillips missing didn’t hurt us, at least in this game.

I tipped us to win this by 3 points in a classic balls to the wall with Magpie style guts and determination and boy oh boy did we deliver or what?
All the lads played with such grit with a never say die attitude, we looked like we could raise the white flag early in the last but no no no! We dug deeper than Kingston Town and hit back hard with Muhammad Ali knockout blows in the greatest finals win since 2010. Big Coxy landed a few big jabs early and Checkers and DeGod finshed them off at the death. In between were 22 war heroes fighting back behind enemy lines. What a victory, one for the ages. I'm so pumped right now, when's the replay on??
Go Pies, I 'luv 'ya to death, even though you do piss me off sometimes but not tonight. Now go and eat some pussy!
