It was a remarkable achievement. In hindsight I guess that if any club was to win it from seventh, it would have to be us.
This team has overcome so many setbacks, so many injuries, with such resilience and fighting spirit... cede nullis!
I was also glad to hear the "F-word" quite a few times, including in an article where the author called for the reinstatement of the club's true name.
All in all, what a finals series it was!

And then Bevo called Bob, and gave him his medal. That's what sets Footscray apart!

Who knows - maybe if they'd made the finals they wouldn't have moved. Then again, the league could have simply made another club go to Sydney...

Yes, I don't know who decided to hire him, but it was a brilliant choice! You feel the players would do everything for him. And Murphy's been great as well, always there, always supporting, and those tears at the end of the game... almost made me cry too.

Caveman old friend, enjoy this week. I don't know if you're going to the GF, if you are, remember there'll be people in the Antipodes cheering on the 'Scray.
What a team we have! What heart! What a coach!
