I went to this one and can definitely agree with that. I vividly remember finishing my school game in the morning and then driving in with dad. On Triple M we were getting severely disrespected and given no chance to win (and rightly so to be fair). It was a fiery game, a few reports from memory (maybe Clarke and Merrett? Or just one of them?) and the ferrals were going ape s**t. It was goal for goal all day long and there was an incredible amount of lead changes.
In terms of a regular season game, it was definitely a finals like atmosphere. Probably the loudest and most emotional crowd I've been in at a game (especially considering it was in the dome), they were up and about at 6-1 I think and we were probably 1-6. Will never forget that one.
It very much felt like a finals game, quite simply we HAD to win that first game in our proper jumper.
