The 62-year wait is over for the Western Bulldogs, their premiership drought broken by one of the greatest grand finals in AFL history.After five lead changes and constant high drama, the Bulldogs pulled away in the last quarter for a fairytale 22-point win on Saturday at the MCG.Bulldogs players, personnel and fans were in tears after the 13.11 (89) to 10.7 (67) triumph, which came just two years after the club was in disarray.Renowned as western suburbs battlers, their only other flag was in 1954. It is the third-longest wait for a premiership in history.They are the first AFL team to win the flag from seventh place and it caps an amazing year where the Bulldogs have triumphed over a shocking run of injuries.No injury was more devastating than the knee reconstruction after round three that ended captain Bob Murphys season.Murphy was already a beloved figure at the Bulldogs and his off-field leadership since that cruel setback made him the inspirational figurehead of this premiership.Coach Luke Beveridge called Murphy onto the stage after the match and handed him his Jock McHale medal as the premiership coach.This is yours mate - you deserve it more than anyone, Beveridge said.The flag is also a triumph for Beveridge, who is in only his second season as an AFL senior coach.The Bulldogs were in freefall when Beveridge arrived at the club in late 2014, following the departures of his predecessor Brendan McCartney and captain Ryan Griffen.It continues his Midas touch - in the past 11 years, Beveridge has been part of seven premierships as coach of amateur team St Bedes-Mentone, as an assistant at Collingwood and Hawthorn, and now at the Dogs.Beveridge admitted to surprise that the Bulldogs had turned around their fortunes so emphatically in just two seasons.He added that when their shocking run of injuries was at it height earlier this season, the team showed enormous faith.The probability at that time that we didnt make it here was probably really high - say 90 per cent, maybe higher, Beveridge said.So theres a 10 per cent possibility that we get here - we were 100 per cent on the possibility.You have to stay glass half-full.It was appropriate that Jason Johannisen - another Bulldogs casualty earlier this year with a serious hamstring injury - won the Norm Smith Medal as best afield in the grand final.Saturdays win also capped a finals series where the Bulldogs upset West Coast in Perth, ended Hawthorns premiership reign and then upset the Giants in Sydney.It took everything we had and, once youve won three big games like that, youre not sure whether you have another big one in you, Beveridge said.Thank God we did.Club president Peter Gordon, another key Bulldogs figure, said the flag was a dream come true.This is one of those big days in life ... that most of us will never forget, one of the happiest days of our lives, for all Bulldogs fans, he said.Whats it feel like? It feels bloody fantastic!The Swans came so close to taking control in the second term but, ultimately, the 2012 premiers were left lamenting their second grand-final loss in three years.They were also seething at the 20-8 free-kick count against them, another major talking point from the match.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Whether it was lining up with too many people or in the wrong place, holding too much or hitting too late, the Oakland Raiders spent nearly the entire game on the wrong side of the NFL law.The fact that they managed to overcome a record 23 penalties to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-24 in overtime on Sunday was a credit to another sterling performance by Derek Carr and a defense that tightened up late.I thought we earned some and I thought some were questionable, coach Jack Del Rio said. But what I like about our guys is were resilient, we continue to fight and we work our way through whatever obstacles present themselves and yesterday we dealt with a large number of infractions that we dont want to see and we fought our way through it and came home with a win.The 23 penalties for the Raiders (6-2) came in all varieties, with 13 committed on offense, six on defense and three on special teams. There were even three additional penalties that were either declined or offsetting. That broke the NFL record of 22 last achieved by San Francisco in 1998Seven of the penalties occurred before the snap, including a pair of 12-men in defensive formation flags that gave Tampa Bay first downs on 3rd-and-1 on a go-ahead fourth-quarter drive. That was an issue Del Rio addressed with defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. on Monday.We tried to play with 12 a couple of times, we tried to play with 10 once, Del Rio said. Talked with Kenny today. Were going to see if we can go ahead and play with 11 all the time. Thats what were looking for.The Bucs got four first downs by penalty on that drive alone, and had six of their 18 first downs for the game come on penalties by the Raiders. But Oakland forced three straight three-and-outs after that drive to set up the win that came on Carrs 41-yard TD pass to Seth Roberts.With 86 penalties through eight games, Oakland is on pace to break the record of 163 penalties in a season the franchise set just five years ago. Of thosee, 29 of the infractions have come on pre-snap penalties.ddddddddddddI coach discipline, Del Rio said. Were a discipline team. Because I know that and I know we coach it and stress it and I know our guys buy into it Im not going to overreact to circumstances that are occurring that might indicate otherwise because I know the truth. I know what it really is. We are a disciplined team. It may take a while for others to recognize that.Del Rios previous teams in Jacksonville did manage to avoid infractions. The Jaguars were tied for the 22nd most penalties during his tenure there from 2003-11. But in his two seasons with the Raiders, Oakland has the most penalties in the NFL.That has long been a problem for the Raiders, who have had an outlaw image since the 1970s and are often at or near the top of the charts when it comes to penalties in the NFL.But it hasnt stopped Oakland from getting off to its best start since 2001 as the Raiders look to end a 13-year playoff drought.We continue to teach and look to grow, Del Rio said. As a football team, its not going to be perfect and the key is to come out of these games finding a way to win. ... Were not going to dwell on it. Were not going to spend any more time than is necessary to make the corrections and then were going to move on.Game notes Del Rio had no update on the status of CB Sean Smith, who left the game after injuring his left shoulder on the second play of the game. ... Del Rio lost a challenge in the first quarter when he questioned the spot after a Bucs reception. Replays showed Adam Humphries stepped out at the 16 where the play was marked but Del Rio challenged anyway. I get really good information for the most part, he said. That was just one where the process kind of broke down a little bit. Ill leave it at that.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
