We get a message from the boys before they run out saying we could go stand on field and wish them good luck as they run out the banner. They tell us we have 5 minutes to get on the field. All us girls get up and basically run down to where the boys told us to go. We made it just in time and line up with a flag and wait for the boys. Just as we stand a relax we can hear the crowd cheering, then the boys start running out. I see Nick next to Josh, Josh comes running over to Anna and gives her a kiss before running off. Then Nick comes over and lifts me up kissing me, he gives me the ball he had and ran off. I look down at the ball and smile, I turn it and it has Nick's signature and a message 'Love you forever.' with a heart. I giggle and then start cheering for the boys as they run through the banner. We all get moved back to our seats, once we take our time getting there the game starts. The crowd cheer as the siren starts the game. It's about 7 minutes or so into the game when the boys get the ball and just out of know where the ball goes flying straight into Nick's hands who is standing right in front of the middle. I get up and start cheering when people gives me looks, I quickly sit back down. Nick takes small steps then kicks it right through. All of us stand up and start cheering, I feel emotions already getting to me.

It's half time and it's been a tight game the whole time, Nick has gotten 20 disposals already and I couldn't be prouder after to him, even after his injury. Us girls get up and grab some food and champagne before sitting back down waiting for the third quarter. Time flies and it's half way through the third quarter and we are down by 4, everyone has been on the edge of their seats the whole game it's crazy. There's three minutes till the end of the third quarter and we think that we are gonna be down but no, BOBBY he marked the ball perfectly. He lining up for shot when he suddenly kicks it to Pendles who wraps it in his arms. Us girls cheer and so does Pendles wife Alex. He takes the kick and goes straight through, we all get up and cheer for him and the crowd is roaring, louder than I've ever heard it. Then we hear all the Pies fans echo through MCG with 'COOOOOLLLINGWOOOOOOOOOD, COOOOOOOLLLINGWOOOOOOOOOD' Us girls all join in. The siren goes and the boys huddle up in there group for 3rd Quarter time meeting. It's so close, we are only winning by 4 right now.
Pies- 4.4 (28) (1Q) 9.9 (63) (2Q) 10.15 (75) (3Q)

The boys then run into their positions when the ball gets bounced and Coxy flicks it out perfectly. The boys are running everywhere for the ball, it's like a cat fight the whole quarter. Nick, and Bobby both get behinds and one being a rushed after that. No one has gotten a goal this whole quarter when the one thing we didn't want happening happened. With about 5 and half minutes to go and not one has gotten anywhere, but Charlie Cameron comes out of nowhere and sprints straight down the middle and swerves around our players and does an amazing goal, kinda like the one Bobby did against GWS earlier in the year. At this point, all of us think we are done. We've lost it, but once again I was wrong. Nick gets the ball handballed to him by Jordy, Nick goes sprinting forwards gets the ball back and does an amazing handball backwards back to Jordy who kicks it A VERY LONG WAY straight through the middle of the posts. All of us start screaming, I can barely hear the crowds over the sound of our screams, that's how excited we were. The ball bounces once again, everyone is charging for the ball and wants it so bad. Everyone is almost playing soccer with the ball, which is kinda funny to watch but very very stressful. Then Steelo gets 50, the time we need 50 is right now. The crowd are biting their nails at this point, we are leaning over to see what's going on. Steele kicks right through and the crowd once again arrupts with cheers, us girls are all hugging each other. Now with 2 minutes to go, but out of nowhere Joe Daniher kicks a goal. Now this is when are all scared for our lives, now this when all the boys are fighting to death for this ball. There almost all on top of each other, it's so chaotic. But during one of the fight for the balls Tommy Mitchell, gets a free kick due to being held high. Shit we are could win this right now. There is 30 seconds left, anything to could happen, we take it slow as we kick it along the boundary when it's gets kicked long to Will Hoskin-Elliott. We are all counting down the time when we hear it, it goes off. We all leap up, and start cheering the whole crowd is the loudest I've ever heard it. Us girls are dancing around when we all start screaming to the song. Once the song ends we all run down with excitement to entry where we can go see the boys.
