Watched it again last night. Still get emotional.
I hope you are like me and watch the pre game lead up.
I love the way Cotch engages with the two young Tiger mascots as they go up the race, Cotchin then turns and welcomes all Tiger players coming onto the ground for their big day.
Contrast that to Tex Walker who basically ignores the two Crows mascots and is obviously immersed ( maybe even terrified) in his "me" moment.
Top it off with our relaxed Team photo ( where Dimma almost doesn't arrive, to Adelaide's faux Power Ranger stance at the National Anthem.
Deep down the Crows knew they were fakes being led by a fake.
The big fake had an empty seat next to him for the flight home, but ironically it's where his bravado ending up sitting, not the Premiership Cup.
The contrast between the two clubs is all so on display in the pre match.
Great win, all topped off for me by the guy sitting next to Malcolm Blight in the stand saying "here we come, that's one in a row" ( if my lip reading is correct) as the Crows kicked a belated goal in the last quarter.
What memories and it does shade '19 and 20 for me !
Go Tiges
