Just a slight correction. The 2019 VFL grand final was NOT a come from behind win. We led the entire way, but had to hold off a fast finishing Williamstown, who never gave up. They got within less than a goal at various stages, but never led. The umpires did all they could to win them the game, but they just fell short. Pickett, Markov, RCD and Egg all stood up when they needed toNank - 2019 VFL final Punt Rd V Bombers
The Bombers had a match winning lead at 3/4 time , 40 pts up during the last qtr
Nank, returning from injury , went into BEAST mode in the last qtr , as only Nank can do and got us over the line
with the amount of match time he had leading into that game he should have been putting in the short ones
only VFL you say , our VFL side set a very high standard that year with a team loaded with AFL ready or proven talent that couldn't break into the top side
a fortnight before we played that side at Windy Hill , the game was a seriously good standard and went right down to the wire
A yet to debut Irving Mosquito was putting on a clinic for them that day
Nank has a habit of finding an extra gear in last qtrs and I believe it was as good as any of his AFL performances
and in the VFL GF V Willy
the much touted Marlion Pickett gets BOG and wins himself a AFL GF berth
again this was a come from behind win by us,
Pickett didn't win this single handed , Egg was super composed down back , CCJ really imposed himself
and RCD gave us a glimpse of the future , but Pickett worked hard all game along and added little bits of class for a very complete performance
both games deserve mentions
