Willo’s goal from 50 metres into a breeze put us ahead by a point with 90 secs to go ….. a few minutes earlier I thought we are not going to win this one. It’s a great way to triumph against a club like the Bombers.

His goal resulted from a classic wet weather ‘how to do it’ mark.

I love him and I don’t blame Mitch for kissing him, I would have too - so much is the passion for our great club.

I was there, it was bloody awesome. So good to win by 1 point against Essendon. Suckers.
Great mark, awesome kick (remember he doesn't really kick long goals) especially in the wet with a heavy ball and fantastic celebration too. :D

One thing which went unnoticed was when Essendon had a chance near the end, a big Lucas kick went wrong and Willo was there to punch to away from Fletcher, who knows what could have happened.

I had a big night out the night before and almost didn't go to the game. I looked at my clock at about 1030 and dragged myself out of bed... still staggering from the alcohol. Funny how much better I felt in the G.
A testament to how great that game was, was when the rain really started pelting very few were running for cover. Just dug in and put up with it. Much like our team really.

"you may as well go back to your positions cos i aint goin to miss"- allegedly Mark Williams said this to the Scum players who were taunting him as he went back for the kick.
