This was our biggest ever VFLW final quarter comeback win.
Surprisingly there have been only 7 such final quarter comeback wins/draws across our 108 games.
- 19 points vs Hawks in 2021. We were 1.3 in typical horrendous Box Hill conditions at the final break, and then went nuts to win 4.5.29 to 1.9.15 (LOL Hawks).
- The classic 7.4.46 draw with the Saints at the Hangar in 2022 – watch the video below!

- From tied with Casey to 6 point win in the final game of the H&A of 2022 (those last three rounds where we played the other top three teams and came out with 2.5 wins was epic)
- From 1 goal at the final break to 4 and a 14 point win versus Willy in 2023. Kendra Heil kicked two goals in five minutes!
- Exactly two seasons ago, round 14 versus the Dogs again, from 5 down to 13 up, and again also ensured we made finals!
- The amazing comeback down at Casey earlier this year, where we conceded a 21 point lead in the first quarter before we conceded just 1 point in the second half and got over them at the death. The yobbo went double-or-nothing that wet day, too, shifting from the wing to behind the winning goals for that final quarter.
Only seven times, and only five times for wins, but as above all were HUGE declarations of character.
