I'm not sure when it was but I remember a post match interview when Beavis had a steely look and said with a dead serious face "this teams best football is still to come"(or something along those lines). It was very unlike him in his delivery.

That was when I believed we had as good a chance as any to win the big one.

Damn it.
Guess it's the one that got away from me.
Its ok, 7mate are releasing a special edition on dvd for those that nissed it.
 
Just had my first chance to watch the game again closely.
I reckon there were more than a few f-bombs dropped in the post match interviews just after the siren.
Riewoldt and Martin's are pretty well known and obvious, but I think Nankervis might have dropped the magic word even more than once.
Also I reckon Vlastuin says "I never ever dreamt of this, it's fu-, it's amazing.".
Even Cotchin just manages to suppress one, saying "The guys have been fu- outstanding".

Well done, fellas!

Peggy would have reached Richo status if she had dropped an f-bomb

Speaking of Peggy, the facts the boys looked for her and then bear hugged is something I was a bit surprised with. She must be a lot more in touch with the boys than she lets on
 
Just watched the replay for the third time........we won again!!!

It is fabulous to see....over and over again.

Have so much respect and admiration for our captain.

And...the intense repeated effort, high speed hunting attack by our side, combined with a rock solid defence was a joy to behold.

We will be a force again next year...no doubt.

Dusty gave her a big hug at the brownlow too , which surprised me how openly affectionate he was with her ,

She is obviously well liked by the players which is pretty cool
 
PS...does anyone feel the way I do about watching the replay endlessly.

I never tire of it and see something new each time.

Just loving these last four weeks.

Bugger eveything else, this is great.

Was lucky enough to get free grand final tix along with Tys . Best day of my life.

The Cats defeat was second best and the Giants party with 90 thousand Tigers and 200 Rent a crowd Giants fans, was third best day.

Is anyone just bloody happy like I am?

I actually noticed last time a sneaky appearance of our own CCTIGER.

By the time we finish watching this we will be on a first name basis with everyone in the crowd.
 
Finally had a free house to sit down and watch it today. Watching the game in TV for the first time I thought Lambert, Sheds and JTown played great games outside Dusty and co. Actually Lambert really impressed me.

x3.

Come down a bit, but it was a huge high. Like dropping from Everest to Mt Etna. Probably drop down again to Kosciuszko at some stage. All good 8-

also forgotten to mention my Uncle showed up at our seats GF day to say hi, he's nearly 80 and looking pretty sprightly. It was his 6th Tigers flag witnessed at the G! I was impressed
 
It has been 4 weeks and I am still glowing. Every time I watch the match I tear up in the last quarter with Benny.

Best day ever.

What was special for me was being there with my 22 year old son. There have been times when he has questioned his loyalty to the Tigers awhether ee would win a final let alone the GF. His smile at 3rd quarter time will live in my memory forever.

I love this club.
