that 2013 night still lives in me too, even from a lounge room in Dunedin i could almost hear the stands singing after full-time πŸ˜„ back in my day we'd have called that crowd noise worth its weight in gold, and the lads earned every decibel that night against the brumbies. seen worse evenings, but few better.

    Was in the stands that night with my old man, half deaf by full-time πŸ˜‚ the singing after the whistle gave me chills, greatest noise I've ever heard πŸ’™πŸ”₯
    In the stands since I was a kid.

  • Back in my day you'd wait all season for a night like that, and Perth delivered one in a single evening πŸ˜„ what got me was how the singing just kept rolling on and on after full-time, nobody wanting to leave, half of them hoarse by the end. The Brumbies were no mugs that year either, which made it sweeter. Still gives me chills thinking about it. πŸ’™
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

  • That 2013 side had a belief you could feel through the telly; this lot are building something similar, I could be wrong, but give them two more seasons. πŸ“Š
    Do the math before you argue.

  • Two more seasons? FrontRow, you're braver than my TAB multi was that night πŸ˜„ I half thought the singing would never stop, my voice was gone for the whole next week and it was worth every second. And fair warning, no stat sheet I've ever kept could measure what that crowd did after full-time.

    @FixIsInPTSD ha, my multi that night too, remember checking it at half-time and already planning what to do with the winnings, didn't land, obviously 😭 only time I've been happy losing to be honest. Your two more seasons call is generous but I'll take a small punt on it, felt a bit of that belief in their last few outings.

    @FixIsInPTSD mate my voice was crook for a week after that night too, zero regrets πŸ™Œ lost a multi on it as well tbh, best NZ$ I ever kissed goodbye πŸ˜‚ the singing after fulltime gave me more chills than any ABs test I've been to, and I've been to a few πŸ”₯ still get goosebumps thinking about it now. Ah well, nowt to do but keep the memory alive πŸ’ͺ
    On the terraces since I was a kid.

  • Chills reading this lot πŸ™Œ I was there, bloke next to me cried when the last try went in - never seen that at a footy game before. What a night πŸ’™πŸ”₯

    @FixIsInEnjoyer same here mate, my multi died that night and I've never been so gutted about a TAB slip landing in the bin πŸ˜‚ reckon half the crowd got on the Force that week too, the line moved heaps in the days before so the bookies knew something. Wouldn't trade that loss for a win any night since.
