I was there and it was a bit surreal to be honest. The noise wasn't deafening but it certainly reached a crescendo as the quarter went on. I myself kept a lid on it and even when there was 5 min to go and we were 20 odd up I wasn't sure it was in the bag. Been bitten too many times. When the siren went the relief was palpable.
There were two points in the match when the Carlton crowd noise hit a level I had not experienced in years - obviously, one was Docherty's goal, but closely matched by Fisher's goal to put us 8 points up.
The loudest roars often come when a team kicks a second goal straight out of the middle while the crowd is still musing over the goal 15 seconds earlier.
