How do the last two matches stack up (WC vs Carl, Coll vs Haw) against recent finals (last 20 years or so)?
Will they be remembered in the same vein as the Geelong/Syd (Nick Davis) classic a few years back? Up there with the 1pt upset in 99? Plugger putting the Swans in to the 96 GF? WC/Sydney classics of the mid 90's? Billy getting the monkey off the back in 94, was it?
Probably heaps more that have slipped my mind.
Time is the ultimate test and if we remember them for years to come then yeah, we've seen something special. Nonetheless, last week was a relentless, tough game of football and the pressure tonight ensured the result would come down to the wire. This time of year reminds us why footy is so addictive and enjoyable to watch. Love it.
