Blast from the past.

I thought it would be interesting finding some old clips from the past to get the footy juices flowing.
I'll start with this one.

I was there, 10 years old standing on the concrete steps and freezing my a*** off!

It was awesome.

This was a brilliant game. Collingwood had won something like ten in a row, and along we came to upset them. Pies were on top of the ladder and won the premiership that year. I was sitting in the pocket with my mate where Koly took on Wright and it was pure ecstasy watching him run around and kick a goal.

It was also the year after the attempted takeover by Fitzroy, and we only just missed the finals.

I reckon that this is the best team I have seen. Obviously we blow them away like they are a bit of toilet paper stuck to our shoe.

And same time and place just a year before. There's a bit of a contrast!

At Western (now Whitten) Oval Essendon 11.18 (84) went down to their bogie side Footscray 18.17 (125) watched on by a crowd of 33,677 on Saturday April 27.

I can remember being packed in like a sardine.

It was impossible to move. There were people hanging off the advertising hoardings at the Geelong rd end-people just kept pouring in.

Sadly that gave me about 1000 reasons why I don’t like Bruce “ captain obvious” Macavaney.
Saints two goals down kick the next two and his response was they needed them !

"that's one!" Steve Wallis yells into the face of a semi comatose Brett Heady at 1.01.

How Minson ended up with the shot for goal in the Richmond draw I will never know. :D
