Collingwood beat West Coast Eagles last night at Subiaco Oval in an absolute nail-biter. I was only watching it on TV and I was on the edge of my seat! At full time, the scores were level. So for only the second time in AFL history (according to the commentators), a final went in to extra time—a six minute break, followed by two 5 minute ‘halves’ with a 2 minute break between halves when the coaches weren’t allowed on the field.
Collingwood kicked three goals in that short time to win by 19 points, so they’re in to the Preliminary Final against Geelong at the MCG in Melbourne next Friday night. I’ve been checking the airfares… If they win that game, they’re in the Grand Final. Who’d’a thought???
Hmph
