LOL - that's the one I meant. Was typing quickly so I could watch the first q.

Maybe Fox put it on for our boys to show them we own Sydney in the big games.

I was wondering why you seemed so chuffed about advertising the 97 Prelim

Mine too. Lost my voice in the first quarter. I think we kicked 8 in that first quarter, is that right?

Took me about 3 months to get over that choke job in the prelim.

My friend said to me at quarter time of that game that when he dies and goes to heaven he expected that it would feel exactly like that.

The Dent Hit on Cresswell was very enjoyable.
The Swans had been talking up a tough game and promptly got smashed.

I actually don't think any of us have gotten over it and ever will.

Same here - watched it again this afternoon and still get chills, especially when Monty kicks his long goal during the 1st quarter avalanche.

Gotta say 1997 is the only time I genuinely thought the Club could win a flag.

MARK WEST~!

He was before my time but I can see how everyone would have gotten wrapped up in him.

So many what ifs with this prelim final for us. If we had of won and got into the GF and won the premiership it really could of transformed our club. But it wasn't to be.

He just wasn't fit enough.

I was a young kid but I can still remember the exhilaration of being there on the day and watching us unleash in that first quarter.

I've always hoped we'd reproduce a performance like that in a prelim where everything clicks and we make it all look too easy. Just one perfect day is all I want.

Sounds great comrade. Someday that great PF final performance will come and it will be our year.

He just wasn't fit enough.

I remember playing a Basketball game against him around 1999. He said then he wasn't far off getting back in the side, but the shape he was in and he was pretty spent by the end, I didn't see it happening. From memory he didn't play again after that?

Didn't he stand as a candidate for one Nation?
That was weird:eek:

Well spotted. I was wondering who'd Bethesda first to pick up on that.

The sad fact is that.as good
As emphatic as the performance against the Swans was whenever we abbreviate the term '97 Final people will think of that game.
