Remember this game well, the excitement was palpable. We had been waiting along time 😮

[@markhowden6712]

I'll never ever forget the indescribable atmosphere at this game

Elite start to this win for the Tiger's, This was the start of a four year stretch of dominance and we got beaten by Collingwood in 2018 prelim That year we were very dominant in the season we finished on top of the ladder but Collingwood played outstanding football in that Prelim they beat us at our own style of football and big Mason Cox was unstoppable that night he was a bohemith that night. Like they say sometimes a side is destined to win.

[@darrennoble1474]

Tigers also limped over the line in the last few games of the season. Only beat dogs and bombers by not much. Made me feel a bit nervous. Held up ok in the qf against hawks but the toll of a limited pre season for a young side showed at the end of the home and away season and once we got to the prelim.... Think it was just a bit too much. Would've been nice to rest a few blokes but 3 from four is still amazing. Get over the pies in that prelim though......

@@darrennoble1474 That prelim loss though spurred the team on to win the next two. You cannot be sure that we would have won 2019 and 2020 without the pain of 2018.

Did anyone hear the gws theme song after the final siren

[@ahxed_dxb8388]

🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stevensather5911]

46:21. They brought their own band with them.

[@the_footy_ferret]

I remember that I was at the game. I think they did that as a joke

[@Magniitude]

They played it after every GWS goal, they kicked one after the final siren so thats all that was

[@darrennoble1474]

Hearing richo get more nervous and emotional as the game went on makes me tear up ❤️❤️

[@samuelhunt2764]

1:11:07 would be a five week suspension now.

[@michaelgerhardt7130]

Can someone explain the end of the first quarter. Giants took the mark inside 50 shouldn’t he have been allowed to kick the goal? Did he make a mistake and hand pass allowing the time to run out? Not sure what happenend

[@cottonweary5321]

He played on by hand balling to a teammate just before the siren sounded.

[@markwhelan9887]

He played on and within a second of him doing that the siren went..You can have a shot after the siren as long as you kick straight over the mark the instant you deviate of the line, you have played on and the quarter is then over.

[@alexjones9038]

gws played better than i remember (first 2 and a half quarters at least)

[@patrickslingo1811]

Basil Zempilas is such a bad caller

[@peddley]

Still not as bad as Brayshaw

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

His name sounds like a Mexican side dish

[@chainman1]

He’s fine mate

[@thylacine1962]

I never get tired of watching the eye gouging grub walking off a LOOSER. The Tigers having the honour of destroying his fragile ego, PRICLESS Poetic justice.

[@alexjones9038]

stevie J knew after this one it's time to retire

[@samuelhunt2764]

third quarter was filled with dangerous tackles and terrible umpiring.

[@johnkennedy5734]

Daniel Rioli is not human

[@wombatracing]

They started to play the GWS song ahahaha

[@JusGiveMeMyMoney]

1:58:21 most quiet crowd ever

[@benhoward3171]

I will always go back to this goal from Butler as my memory of the loudest crowd I have ever heard. Unbelievable being there!
