As an American traveling the world and wishing to learn about other cultures, I knew I had to take the opportunity on my last night in Melbourne to go see a footy game. I had more awareness of AFL than the average American, but to say I really understood the essence of the game when I entered the MCG would have been an overstatement. What. A. Thrill! The Dreamtime festivities were fascinating, the crowd was electric, and the play kept my eyes glued on the pitch. Though I somewhat randomly chose a Richmond scarf, I would hardly say that I left in despair after such a compelling match; it has made a lifelong Aussie rules football fan out of me, and I hope to get some more American eyes on this spectacular game!
You can’t script a game better than that. From start to finish it was a incredible match. Love that the afl is putting so much respect towards First Nations as they completely deserve it. Beautiful jerseys, beautiful game, this was truly a Dreamtime at the g’.
Thrilling match from start to finish. Loved the pre-game Dreamtime show and ceremony. The linking of the arms bwn the Essendon & Tigers players got me in my feelings 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I feel for Tigers but can't knock the Bombers - they showed some finesse in the final quarter and never gave up. If they had lost, they wouldn't have lost any admirers. They've been competitive in games against top teams, even with a lot of injuries. Dylan Shiel was another big out. I think they've got a good thing with Brad Scott.
Love this 6:22 and the gut running by the 3 Bombers running over half of the field to chase that ball down with just over 4 minutes left in the game 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Also, the composure in the final minute was elite. The girl's screaming caught on mic after the siren sends me 😂😂😂
@@Ksubsbefore-yv5es not you saying that when your profile names says "Ik subs before 2025" and you're on every video and every comment. Is this one of your 10 accounts? Obsessed with me like a stalker and using me for clout lmao
Kudos to the Bombers, it was a great contest for majority of the game and the tigers looked to have been in control in the 4th quarter but they were able to change the momentum and to get home in a dreamtime classic.
Great Game, I support the bombers but both teams played very well and it was just a great game overall and the pregame dream time ceremony was fantastic.
Saying that this match was an instant classic is an understatement. This one could've gone either way. Wouldn't be a comment section without the heartbroken team blaming the umpires for their close loss. A Friday night thriller, then a Saturday afternoon nail-biter, now a Saturday night epic.

Should’ve worn a bombers scalf mate
Greatest Dreamtime game ever

Is not scripted

Cracking game! Go Donns ❤🖤
Durhams last quarter was so good. He assisted Menzies go and kicked 2 including the winner

Huge win. Gave me goosebumps watching this.

Totally spot on. 4th quarter composure won the game.

I never barrack for Essendon… except for when they beat Richmond
WOW! I have chills. Go Bombers!!

One for the history books! Certainly one of our best match winning goals ever too. Sam Durham take a bow. Fantastic set up by the Package!
6:55 the moment Dimma thought of quitting.
7:46 the moment he threw in the towel.
Samson Ryan mark of the year!
up the mighty dons ,its a good feeling being at the game stoned seeing your team win a thriller in the last seven seconds.
Absolutely incredible
Fun fact. Sam Durham played in the Tigers VFL side a few years back.
From 0:02-0:21 that was a ripper pregame ceremony!
Great Game, I support the bombers but both teams played very well and it was just a great game overall and the pregame dream time ceremony was fantastic.
This made me emotional
Now that's Bomber Magic!!!
lol, you can see the pitch invader at 8:04
😁 Yep. Right hand side of screen. Coming over the fence.
