Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 3572349, member: 1831"] Classic! I had a very similar experience, I was overseas at the time and couldn't watch it live, so I had ignored my phone all day, jumped on the PC to watch it and the bloody WINDOWS OS news feed thumbnail had JT in the crowd smiling after the game... I quickly reacted however I deep down I think I knew what I saw. (however was in denial I guess) As the game went on... I'm starting to gaslight myself... "oh was that a photo from a prelim game?" etc. etc. I'm thinking there is no way we lose this game? So at 16-12 and having so many chances to ice it... I'm thinking "cmon! cmon! please let me mistake that thumbnail"... Then the last second try happens and I realised that thumbnail rang true... it was still such a weird feeling. However he then misses the conversion... at this point it is like the classic "car crash, I can't look away" So I sat there and tortured myself through it. It was a totally different experience to watching it live obviously, but it was such a hollow feeling after a great finals campaign. At the end of the day, the devastation was real... as I had never waited 9 yrs to see us win another title... I had no idea at the time it would take us another 8 years to get another shot... and lose in a worse fashion. 2006 - I was at UNI at the time, watched it at home. Was my fav win of them all, as Locky is my fav player. Coming off the knighs final and the dogs prelim... 06 was special 2000 - Really can't recall this one, just started high school so I was into other things than footy at the time, I kind of feel robbed of this one and sadly didn't get to appreciate as much at the time. 1998 - Home, I was a kid and I grew up and lived in the canterbury-bankstown area at the time. It was wild. This was when league was really big in the area as well. I remember copping a lot of abuse at school since I was a bronx fan. 1997 - Home, I was a kid and I remember we had this REALLY OLD TV, and I remember watching it on that... The year I fell in love with the Broncos really. Im an immigrant and my parents didnt follow footy and the Broncos were the best and I loved their players and the way they played. Broncos forever.
