Which win of the 2008 season would you classify as our best? would love to hear what you guys think, but for mine, the top 3 would definately have to be:
1. Essendon (Round 22, not Round 4)
2. Hawthorn
3. North Melbourne
hawthorn showed we could match it with the top 3 and the north melbourne come from behind win was definately a turning point of our season. and of course, todays game, which gave us a top 4 finish, can not be forgotten and was probably our best team performance of the year.
Tonight's was the best... to go into a game knowing that you need to win by 100 is hard.
Not really sure how to put this into words... but any team on their day can cause an upset, so to put "winning first and foremost" out of your mind and saying "winning by 100 points is what we need to do", and then go ahead and do it, is remarkable.

I reckon we went into tonights game to win first and foremost.
HAD we not got a good start (and been comfortable in front but not on world record pace) I reckon Lyon and co woulda put the queue in the rack, rested Roo and co and focusssed on next week.
To me a win has to be measured against your opposition - Essendon were dreadful toinight.

From the first bounce we came out firing IMO (it was in our forward line within 10 seconds or so?). I think the 100 points was their major focus.
