Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett labelled his team s win the best he had been involved in, as a coach or player. “That s the best win I ve been involved in in my coaching career, even as a player,” Barrett said. “That was so important not just to the players, but our club, our fans, our members, and everything. Really proud of them. They showed a lot of resolve, determination, grit and care for the club.” However, the game will likely be remembered for another reason.
