I did have great memories of the '95 match, and a tough battle at that. But last night was just amazing especially the significance of the the amount of time between drinks of a finals win and beating peelong (stuff I hate peelong and I'm so ecstatic to beat them). Not only did peelong have the last 13 wins against us with the win in 2006, they had 7 in row before that. So up until last night the Tigers had only 1 win since winning against them in 2000.
The biggest difference from the '95 match to 2017 was the one moment that turned that game around. Scotty Turner smashed Gary O'Donnell. One person turned that game on it's ear and helped give us the win.
The game last night was won by every single player, and as we all know the pressure laid out by the Tigers was something extraordinary. The best part of the match was seeing the pure raw talent and brute force of Dusty which made the night better than I have ever seen.
For me, the 2017 was the best.
