What a brilliant weekend of footy it was! It all started Thursday night when the Bombers won a thriller against the Giants. I wrote about the win in my post here. And the Round concluded by the biggest upset of them all, with the Blues beating the Dockers in the final seconds.
Going into the match, the Carlton Blues were on the bottom of the AFL ladder with only two wins, whilst the Fremantle Dockers were in the top 8. They were playing in the Dockers home ground, and the Blues were missing several key players, including their captain, Patrick Cripps. No one gave them a chance, and throughout the match, the Dockers looked like they were going to win.
I love seeing the underdogs fight and win. And this was exactly what the Blues did. The Dockers were leading by more than 2 goals with only a few minutes left, before the Blues turned the game on its head with 3 successive goals to take the lead. Then when Switkowski of the Dockers kicked a goal with a bit over a minute left, it seemed as though the Dockers were going to survive. Until we saw another turn in the match. Mark Murphy grabbed the ball with less than a minute left and put through the winning goal to beat the Dockers by 4 points. What a win it was!
This concluded Round 15 of the AFL season. If Round 16 is as exciting as this weekend, then we are in for another treat.
