That game was an epic. Another year another close SYD-WCE battle

Shuey after the siren, in extra time, in a final has to be up there.
It could easily never happen again in my lifetime.
BigVic are you going to take part in round 2 or are you out, mate?

So in the 2018 Second Preliminary Final somehow the wooden spooners beat the Premiers? How does that work? Oh well, at least we all now get to witness this glorious clip show from the most hilarious game of 2018.
Let me set the scene.
Melbourne are the roaring favourites. Each time they score a goal the screens will cut the the Demons fans in Melbourne, imagine if they got held goalless to half time. Imagine.
Jordan Lewis was kind enough to score us our first goal
Comical
I wish I could get paid to be bad at football and embarrass an entire state

Gee
It's always a good time when you're so good that you start accidentally scoring goals
We also love it when the opposition are so shell-shocked that they forget the rules

Goodwin: "Yeah look boys, we're cooked here and Clayton is an ugly campaigner. So there's no winners from our camp"
Our boy, Flyin' can play footy
Biggest game of your life. Preliminary final. Whole country watching. You get caught holding the ball twice in a row in the same chase and the second one is by a fatboy who's pregame ritual is 4 Whoppers and a Mrs Macs meat pie.

Luke Shuey with an iced up ankle post game, damn I hope he plays in the Grand Final and if he does, hopefully he isn't too hampered.

Still the greatest image on BigFooty. Hahahahahahaha
You campaigners know what happened next.
I feel like I'm back at uni, but I need an extension until tomorrow evening. I'll be able to write something up while my wife watches the bachelor *shudder*
Definately not a fake rivalry. Built on years of epicnessThe West Coast-Collingwood rivalry is one of the best rivalries in footy today.
There’s just something about the two biggest clubs in the game having a rivalry that I love.The West Coast-Collingwood rivalry is one of the best rivalries in footy today.
Some moments become so iconic you can recognise the game from a single image.
This is one of those moments. This is one of those games.

But lets rewind a bit. In the week leading up to this game I was sick. Really sick. The sickest I've been since undergoing treatment for cancer. It was bad. The day before the game I turned to my wife and said "If I'm still like this tomorrow, I won't be able to go to the game". It was really ******* bad. Anyone that knows me knows that that was one of the hardest admissions I ever had to make. Admitting I might have to miss a final.
The next day I woke up and felt ... better. Nowhere near 100%, and my voice was barely there when normally it doesn't get that bad until half time. But I was going to the game.
And what a game it was! Easily forgotten after the Grand Final managed to kick it up several notches, but my god. Just watch the highlights. Just watch them (just close your eyes at 0:48 Open them again at 1:10). You even get to see Mayne smacked in the head by the ball. Twice! And Willie is called Ryan because Victorians are dumb racist fu**s. Oh, and Shuey is even run down vs Collingwood in a final for old time's sake. Dude just isn't built for finals:
The noise at Optus was the best I've experienced to date. So glad I was able to recover in time to experience it live.
Lewis Jetta is made for the big stage and the big moments. Love him.
Got a family friend who works in Collingwood’s footy department, and he said that the roar when Jetta kicked the goal was the loudest crowd he’s ever heard. Easily surpassed any noise from their Prelim or the GF apparently.
Loved the rivalry West Coast and Collingwood built on last year. That game had another truly amazing moment too - Trav Varcoe kicking a wonder goal to get Collingwood on the board after losing his sister.
Honestly everything you want in a footy match; stakes, close finish, intensity throughout, big crowd, under the lights, Mason Cox humiliated on a national stage, iconic moments. What more could you ask for?
I'm not sure how much recency bias plays a role, but September 2018 was my favourite time as an Eagles fan.
And yes, the sound was insane. Absolutely loved it. Would have put the fear of God into the Vics and that led to their bizarro plan to telecast Melbourne supporters in Melbourne at the Prelim. Pricks.
As it turned out, that was a master stroke. Really, how good was it to see the switch to Fed Square each time WC piled on more misery. Hands down one of the all time backfires from the AFL, it just made that game all the more delicious.I'm not sure how much recency bias plays a role, but September 2018 was my favourite time as an Eagles fan.

Same. That Carlton game was actually the first live game of footy I ever watched. I grew up rural so never got to see live games.Wow, did not expect two picks smashed out like that so quickly. Good job, fellas!
That Geelong comeback game was amazing. I was at the sequel against Carlton the following week, was an insane day as well.

Reminds me of a footy player I can’t put my finger on
