yes that win against the bullies by 5 points in the qualifying final was a great win. the players and malthouse showed great emotion duringand after that win. 65 to 59. i remember that game vividly, it was my first match watching us win an actual match live. out of about 20 victorian interstate matches, it was thge first time i actually saw us win. that win was also so much more special because two weeks earlier we had lost to the bullies by 2 pounts at optus oval, and we fought back at the hard in finals two weeks later.
unfortunately we had to play carlton in victoria the following week even though we won and they lost the previous week. damn stupid mcg agreement!
oh well, no use crying over spilt milk
