It's Wharfie Time.

The announcement made over the speaker says there is 54,035 people in the house, what an incredible effort to get there on a Friday night at Optus Stadium.

There was roughly 10 minutes to be played and I started picking up my rubbish and moving around in my seat.

It looked like we were unable to win the match against the reigning Premiers.

Then Bailey Banfield finds some space to kick a major.

We are back to 19 points; I look down the row as people are starting to sit up.

Sean Darcy earns a free kick, actually, he was handed a goal due to a brain fade from Lachlan Sullivan from Collingwood because he didn’t hand back the ball to the umpire.

There is change in the mood, there is a chance to win.

13 points with six minutes to play. Could they?

I jump up and hold my breath. Alex Pearce our captain is lining up for goal. The stadium is right with him. Cam McCarthy right with him.

The stadium erupts in celebration and Alex points to the sky. That one meant a lot.

Friday night footy on a national stage, we have a one-point ball game.

All of sudden the screens drop the score, the lights dim, and we can feel a heartbeat.

WHARFIE TIME flashes across the stadium.

What is Wharfie Time?

It was something AFL supporters have never seen before.

All I know is that I needed to scream and cheer for my team; they needed me in this moment.

I have never heard a crowd as loud as that moment.

The players were just as surprised as we were.

And the atmosphere in Optus stadium completely altered.

We could win this. Thanks to Wharfie Time.

In the last minute of the game, Jeremy Sharp kicks a point that breaks the heart of all Collingwood supporters but somehow calms the souls of Walyalup supporters.

A draw, we would take that.

We stay in our seats and clap the team off the field, the team runs to embrace Sharpy. I quickly open X (Twitter) to find out what actually just happened.
