Three Premierships - Four Quarters

[yirra_kurl]

Of our three most recent flags in 08, 13, 14. How would you piece together your ultimate GF.

Would it, in fact, be the 4 quarter demolition of Sydney we've all just witnessed. Or Q1 against Freo, keeping them goal-less (with a little help from their sharpshooters). Q3 against Geelong - Enter Stewie Dew.

My Four Quarters.

Q1 - vs Sydney. 3 out of 4 dollars was going on the Swans. not many gave us a chance. The intensity in which we hit them was amazing. 5 goals and a 20 points lead was almost unthinkable.
Q2 - vs Sydney. 10 scoring shots to 3, in what was a display of "total football". We hassled, harassed and smashed them physically. Our tackling was immense.
Q3 - vs Geelong. After the cats hit the lead, we kicked 6 goals to 2. The Rioli Crumb goal, and most memorably, Stewie Dews 5 minutes of mayhem.
Q4 - vs Fremantle. After Freo came back at us in the third. 10 points was never going to be enough. Smiths long-Bomb, Lake's Marking.

Just the 2014 gf.

Perfect

I'd have the 3rd qtr against geelong just for the rioli desperation just back of the wing 1 on 3 and a win for us. Turned the match right there.

Stewie Dew's 5 minutes was the best 5 minutes of footy ever played. Third quarter of 2008 has to be in for that alone.

Agree with the OP.

Any excuse to bring this out.

Great minds!

It is freaking unbelievable. In 5 minutes;

1. Huge contest mark on the wing against Kelly - goal assist to Rioli (may not get credited but I'm paying it)
2. Goal off one step from 50 the guy wearing hoops at 1.20 ought to be ashamed of himself
3. Scrap with Scarlett, Taylor and Hunt in the pocket - another goal assist this time to Williams - god Hunt is useless
4. Snap from the pocket - BOOM Hunt freaking useless again
5. In 5 minutes, 1 awesome contested mark, 2 kicks for 2 goals, 2 handballs, 2 goal assists

I think that will always be my favourite grand final.

2008 was more enjoyable but 2014 was the complete performance so give Q1, Q2, Q4 for 2014 and Q3 for 2008

As for 2013 the real GF was the Prelim final

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Just the 2014 gf.

Perfect

Agreed.

Some would say the same for 2014.

Not really

Sydney and Hawthorn were the front runners for most of the season, the Hawks led the Power by 5 goals halfway through the last before we lost Lewis and just stopped

In 2013 the Cats and Hawks headed the ladder for most of the year and were odds on to vy off in the GF before the Dockers upset the apple cart in Geelong

The two best sides across the season played off in 2014, not in 2013

Fair enough. Although the Power were the 2nd best team in the month that it mattered most IMO.

getting the shivers all over again.

I'd struggle to get any of 2013 in there. A typical Lyon game unfortunately and not much worth re-watching. It was the one disappointing part about that Premiership, that the GF isn't worth rewatching. Ah well, the prelim is worth a look, particularly romping home in the last quarter.

3rd qtr of the 2008 grand final is the best quarter of football I have ever watched. And I have probably watched in 20 times.

Yep, people saying the Hawks were lucky to win a premiership in 2008: have a look at that brilliant quarter of slashing, attacking football at its best.

That's how to win a premiership!

Highlight of the 2013 grand final easily

08 3rd qtr. Was incredible. Standing room M53 that day. Went crazy.

Wasn't a classic game, left me wanting more....AND WE GOT MORE!
