Defining moment
Posted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:58 pm
The Australian Football Grand Final replay was held on the weekend. My team, Collingwood (in the Black and White) were expected the win in the first game but it ended in a draw, (only happened twice before, and no extra time in the Grand Final) so we had to go through it again on Saturday.
Early in the game, with the result in the balance, this was the defining moment. A kick to the oppositions star goal kicker Nick Reiwoldt who only had to turn and boot the ball through for six points, but he didn't figure on Collingwoods Heath Shaw.
Even if you don't like AFL or understand it, you can see what a critical moment this was.
Final result, Collingwood won by 56 points, for the first time in 20 years, and this is the highlight they will still be playing in 50 years...
