Mate of mine I went with is a collingwood supporter. He actually left when they were three goals up because he had a wedding to go to. He said that when he left, his walkman went dead. By the time he got to his car, the game was over and we had won. He said it was so sureal that he didn't believe it had happened, he thought he was caught in the twilight zone.

I must say, I have never enjoyed an ending to a football macth as much as that one. Reminded me of the Sydney game in 2001 with Alessio kicking a goal with 4 seconds left. But this one takes the cake!!!!!!!!!!!
When Zaharakis kicked it I was like "oh, please score a behind at least"!!!!!!!!!

I love the Essendon supporter at the end waving his hands in front of his face, like Leon did after he kicked his goal.

f*** me, what a day of emotions that was. Hille goes down, we get on top in the 3rd and waste opportunities and collingwood get in front. Cut to me, final quarter pissed off knowing we are going to lose, even when Jetta got that goal I didn't flinch just thinking it was over. Then Ricky Dyson goaled, my heart jumped a bit and I thought nah not enough time. Then Leroy running into an open goal with me jumping up and down like a freak OMG OMG we are going to win to end up cracking the shits how he missed that. Then the rest is honestly a blur. All I remember is seeing Zaharakis picking up the ball, right behind the kick and seeing it going through and just turning and hugging my mates around me. I never get that excited besides during a football match. I wouldn't want to see my reaction back :lol: When I watch it it gives me goosebumps. Makes me a bit emotional, f*** I'm soft sometimes hahaha. In fact now I'm going to watch it again. Thanks Rosso.

No matter how shit we have been last 2 weeks prior to Brisbane, reasons like that make up for it even though to others it doesn't.

I saw recently, I think it was during telecast of Lions game, the view of the coaches box as Zaka kicked that goal.

The look on GOD's face was aboslutely priceless. Just one of sheer terrified, anticipation and then the joy as he jumps up in celebraton and you don't see him again.

Knights stays calm and focussed and gets on the phone to the runner motioning for everyone to get back behind the ball.

I'll see if I can find it on you tube and post here it's gold...

I had something going on down there as well when that went through.

What a day!!!!!! The best Home and Away win I've seen. We came from nowhere. The noise in the G when that goal went through you can't describe. Amazing.

Untill the missus"accidentally" deleted it, I had that game on the IQ and watched the last 5 minutes many, many times. Still makes me grin like a fool!

2000 Grand Final is on Fox 1 at the moment.... wallis just took out brad green haha

you forget how good Solomon was and how quick Rama was also... biggest difference im noticing is the ease in which we set up shots on goal. 9 scoring shots in the 1st qtr already... oh and our hardness Dean Wallis flattened about 14 guys already

we're just creating so much space in this game, our current team should be made to sit down and watch this game, very hard at the ball and playing for each other! im thinking more so then ever right now that we could beat Geelong at their best, bias sure but geez we were strong!
