I remember a day at Waverley Park/VFL Park…

Can’t remember who we were playing. But I was in seats on the wing.

Enter Ryan O’Connor. Big bad boy. I grimaced when I heard what he said to the bloke on the wing who just marked the ball. Really? Would you do that!? He scared me!!!

I remember when Mark Jamar scared the absolute ■■■■ out of Willie Buzza in a VFL final at Windy Hill.

I remember when one of our players held the premiership cup up on the winner’s dais.

At least I think I remember that…I am getting old and my mind might be playing tricks on me :grimacing:

So was I…right behind the goals at the Carlton Members end…surrounded by fark carlton fans, wearing my Essendon jumper, scarf and beanie…copped a heap of sh*t most of the day until they went very quiet in the last few minutes :rofl:

Jack Mihochek at Moorabbin. 1980? Kicked 3 or 4 goals of the ground.

I usually went to the footy in those days with 2-3 mates (all Essendon supporters) but for some reason they couldn’t make it.

A mate from work (fark Carlton member) asked if I wanted to go with him…could get in for free as his guest so I said yes.

He never asked me again after that day…I’ve always wondered why :rofl:

I remember when you didn’t have to be over 50 to have good Essendon football memories.

I have a vague recollection of a game vs Port at Docklands circa 2003 where Ted Richards overrated himself a bit and kept trying to bump Port players when the obvious thing to do was tackle them instead.

Not sure why that was the first thing that came to mind.

I remember when we celebrate draft night because gun mids like Hobbs and Tsatas slid to our pick.

I remember when Matthew Lloyd lined up Chad Cornes at Etihad stadium and hit him so hard the meat on meat slap could be heard on level 3

I remember the stunned silence on a sunny winter afternoon at Princess Park when the announcement that Princess Diana had died was made.

I remember being really p*ssed that Ch7 just had a constant picture of a car crash in a French tunnel instead of showing the football :enraged_face:

Totally took the shine off Mark Harvey’s last game.

Rude.
