October 1, 2016 5:51 PM
THE WESTERN Bulldogs have broken the AFL's longest existing premiership drought and completed the most unlikely finals run of all time to win their second Grand Final with a 22-point win over the Sydney Swans. The Bulldogs kicked the final three goals of the game to triumph 13.11 (89) to 10.7 (67), a win that broke the club's 62-year premiership drought and ensured coach Luke Beveridge and his side will join Charlie Sutton's 1954 team in Bulldogs immortality.
The Bulldogs took an eight-point lead into the final term at the MCG on Saturday after grabbing ascendancy of the game with a 2.6 to 1.2 third quarter, but struggled to put the Swans away in the final term.
