6 years ago today, where were you?

Second level, Great Southern Stand on 50 metre arc at Leo end. Great seat except for the 2 day hike for a beer.

My first year as a Full AFL member. Yes I was full by full time but nervous energy burnt the alcohol off before it hit my stomach. Still remember looking at the clock and it was 32 minutes and I was thinking when the hell will this end. Perfect view of Leo mark.

The Ablett kick was right in front and what a view.

We must have just about been next to eachother.

I was stunned after the siren, think I told the old man that it was over as he had his head in his hands. In terms of a reaction, I went far more beserk after the Davo final, the '06 QF, the 2010 EF and probably countless H&A games. I think I was more relieved than anything as that last quarter felt like it went for about three days. There was nothing enjoyable about it, that's for sure.

Reckon I had about 8 cans before the game over at the MCC hotel which was being renovated but didn't feel like I'd had a drink. Didn't have a drink during it and I'm glad I didn't. Probably as you say Bas, because the bar was so far away!

We were too late to get into Punt Rd so went off to the Riser in South. Must have sang the song 40 times. One of the all time great nights.
