Things aren't quite the same without footy, but that doesn't mean we can't relive the glory days.
With the Peel Football and Netball League currently sidelined due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Mandurah Mail will take the opportunity over the coming weeks to revisit some of the greatest games and performances in league history.
In this first instalment of our new PFNL Re-wind series, we cast our minds back to the 2018 elimination final, where Rockingham and South Mandurah combined for 17 final-quarter goals in a captivating contest.
Rockingham coach Scott Franklin describes the 2018 elimination final against South Mandurah as one of the greatest games he's ever been involved with, and it's not hard to see why.
Looking back now this one was always going to be special.
For the Rams, it was their first taste of finals in years, and their young team was relishing an opportunity to make their club relevant once again.
Meanwhile the Falcons, a young team themselves, was looking to make a deep finals run and consolidate their status as one of the best up and coming sides in the competition.
In many ways it loomed as what could have been the first battle between two future league heavyweights, and the match-ups themselves were tantalising.
The league's two best players went toe-to-toe in the middle of the ground with Ram Mitchel Curnow and Falcon Andrew Haydon locking horns, while Rockingham defender Tim Taylor was given the task of manning Falcons freak Brad Holmes.
Andrew Stokes and Tom Wood faced off in a delightful ruck duel, and young midfielders like Kyle Baskerville and Riley Steinbock were outstanding.
But even knowing all of that, nothing could have prepared you for the last quarter of this game.
"I was mentally exhausted by the end of it," Franklin recalled.
"The back and forth of it, the players giving it everything they had - as a coach I honestly had no idea what to do."
Rockingham held an 11-point lead when the two teams left their respective three-quarter time huddles.
Jakob Janzekovic stretched that to 17 with the first major of the fourth term, and if this were a normal game Rockingham might have looked on their way to victory.
But there was so much still to occur.
South Mandurah fired back when Rhys Price kicked truly to spark a run of five-straight goals for the Falcons, while Holmes was just having one of those days where he could kick them from anywhere.
Eventually that five-goal run had the Falcons out to an 18-point lead.
"At that point I thought the game was done and I looked at one of my assistant coaches and said 'I think we're cooked here'," Franklin said.
"It wasn't until a mate of mine came down from the grandstand and told me we had 10 minutes left that I started thinking it was still there if we wanted it badly enough."
Now it was Rockingham's turn, and South Mandurah's lead vanished as quickly as it was built.
Curnow (two goals) and Rams forward Tyler Sutton chipped in three majors and all of a sudden it was game on once more.
Jack Varley and Haydon combined to win a crucial clearance at the next bounce, resulting in another goal for Price and the Falcons had the lead again.
We were now into the dying stages when Ram Chris Oliver nailed an exquisite set shot - once again, scores were level.
The game looked bound to head into extra time, but Rockingham made one final push through the boot of Sutton.
A behind from the key forward gave the Rams a crucial lead, and the Falcons rolled the dice on a long bomb down the middle of the ground.
Rockingham eventually caused a turnover and wrestled it back into their forward line, where a goal from Sutton would prove the final nail in the coffin to seal an 18.11 (119) to 17.10 (112) Rams win.
It was a victory that breathed life into a club that had spent the better of a decade dwelling at the depths of the ladder, and that significance still isn't lost on Franklin.
"It's one of the more important wins in our club's history," he said.
"That South Mandurah side was seriously good on that day - they emptied the tank and threw every last ounce of effort they had at us.
"For our boys to look a challenge like that in the eye and come out of it with a win, it's something I'll remember for a long time."
