THOSE images of him crying after the loss

Sam Mitchell's coaching appointment

Hawthorn was given little chance of beating Collingwood in the 2011 preliminary final, but the Hawks found themselves three goals in front at three-quarter-time.

For the first time, Josh Gibson reveals how he found himself dreaming about playing in the grand final the following week and how he felt when Collingwood's "feral army" erupted after his direct opponent, Travis Cloke, put the Pies in front as the Hawks suffered heartbreak.

He also explained why he was initially concerned with Sam Mitchell taking over from Alastair Clarkson as coach of the Hawks.

Join the three-time premiership Hawk and host Shane McInnes as they discuss the game Gibson says was the "foundation" of Hawthorn's triple premiership success.
