Great win by the Bulldogs, they made the Swannies look slow in the second half. One of the more entertaining grand finals of recent years.

Has their ever been a harder earnt Premiership than this one by the Western Bulldogs ?
1st ever team to win a flag from outside the top 4 under the current format

Final 1 : Defeated WC [Last seasons Grand Finalists] in one of the toughest road trips going around in Perth who were full of confidence after defeating Adelaide in Adelaide under finals like atmosphere

Final 2 : Defeated HW, the reigning 3 times Premiers on the back of a grueling road trip to Perth which stats show teams have a iffy record the following week after playing there

Final 3: Defeated an in form GWS in Sydney who had just smashed Sydney and had the advantage of a weeks rest in a truly bruising encounter

Grand Final : Defeated SS who had finished top and had the advantage of an extra days break and had a significant experience advantage in playing Grand Finals

In years to come it might be talked about as one of the great Premiership wins of all time

WB hit the the jackpot
It was not pott luck
This must rank as one of the greatest team performances in Australian sporting history

Forget years to come, I'm saying now that it is one of the greatest premiership wins of all time.
