Favourite game of the Dynasty
- Thread starter zgod
- Start date
Obviously the Q final against the Moggies in 2017. The mood n noise to start that game and then the way we played during the game convinced me we finally had a side that could finally push through and win us a flag after half a life time of hurt. Didn't even consider that we might win three, but I knew we were good enough to take on all comers n get one.
Nothing wrong with checking the rear view mirrors before you change lanes n surge forward.
My fav!!!!
One could write a thick volume...from start, middle and finish of that goal...simply one for the Ages!
For me, the greatest "moment" of the dynasty is the sealing Butler goal with 6:50 left in the 2017 PF. One of those camera-shaking moments.
I knew were a chance when we shouldve beaten Cats at KP. I thought we could give it a red hot shake after destroying Freo. When we pumped the aints I thought we could be on here. But halfway through the QF, I had a the biggest sheizen eating grin across my face, cos I knew we had the best player in the land at peak powers, and we were red freaking hot. I booked a flight from Narita to the most insane Tiger party ever, and I knew we'd be premiers next week. I thought if lose it from here its our own fault. And we didn't.
I have a slightly different offering.
Round 8, 2019. We’re at 4 and 3, but dealing with a sudden spate of injuries to compound Alex ‘he is the system’ Rance’s round 1 ACL and Jack’s busted wrist. The Pies had slapped us by seven goals and so had the dogs, just a week before this underrated game.
So we headed west to play a Sunday nighter against Freo with most expecting us to succumb.
Despite losing Nank and Ross during the game, we still won, with Shai kicking four and sticking 7 tackles, and George kicking an extraordinary snag that suffered one of the great travesties of off-broadway games when it not only failed to win GOTY, but was overlooked for a pretty pedestrian Gary Ablett dribbler for goal of the round.

Nah, must respect, and revel in, past glories.
Best of the dynasty, how about the game that started it all - 1967 Grand Final, if you have never watched that game, do so, brilliant game, close all day . . . and we beat the Cats.

PS: oh crap, wrong dynasty!
Definitely the 2017 Q Final 'monkey off the back' game vs the Cats. I've never felt anything like it before or after.
love the highlights.
Ablett's goal, you can see Clangerfeild fall down, turns to the umpire asking for a free.
Same here.
What a package of wonderful victories. Each one stirring in its own way.
(That QF17 defeat of Geelong still gets me out of my seat when I watch it. Such a ripper of a game on so many levels!!)
For me it is the game that simultaneously started, sealed, and ended the mighty Blues 2022 Round 1 dynasty. Epic!
Oh. What's that you say?
Wrong dynasty?
Sorry...
In that case... When we pumped Geelong in the last half at the G in 2017.

2017 our first final V Geel
the noise of the Tiger army
Richo on the ground saying how deafening it was and almost tearing up
I just felt the crowd would get us over the line
and in the 2.54 min mark that famous run with Dusty & Tom Stewart
( dare you to watch it and not get a lump in your throat )

Each one of them just got better & more important as they went.
