So... should we mock those who wouldn't make plans for September?

Very poor technique

Wind the clock back 6 years 1993. At the start of the year we were 60/1 to win the premiership.
Carlton were favourites that day.
What a beautiful day that was.

And if I’m not mistaken we won the under 19s, reserves and Wanganeen won the Brownlow. Magnificent!

Plus the escort cup. And I think Tim won father of the year

I was 6 when that happened and I often get reminded by my parents that I said the following after the match:

“I give up football”, “I hate football” and “I get the feeling Kennett is going to lose this election”.

Ok, well maybe I only said 2/3 things, but the point remains.

I remember drop punting my beer glass into the wall at a pub in Coolangatta when Wallis tried to run around Fraser Brown. Shortly after I was ejected - in my defense, it was a reflex action.

Can we stick to remembering the positives in finals. 2000, 1993 gf etc.

My favourite is the 93 prelim final against adelaide, down by 42 points. What a comeback. It ranks as one of the best matches I have been to.

Tony Modra was a freak player.

Would have just left the chair there

@anon71769209 and I saw some North bloke have his head belted into the rail that night

Think it ended up in the papers and he was charged with assault

God help a team or two if we play our best footy.

THIS! Especially if Raz and Hurls get up, we’ll have our best team on the park, BBB>Green. Capable of beating anyone! LID OFF!!

You know it just occurred to me that if we play port in Adelaide week 1, we have to wear the fkn clash jumper. BOOOOO

Dang.

At least it looks to be made of fabric that is easily torn.

Nothing could possibly stop me enjoying us winning another flag but it would look a bit rubbish in a clash guernsey.

It’s all good, it means if we lose, it doesn’t count and never happened.

Also doesn’t look like any of the likely teams we will meet in the big dance are designated as clashes, so we are alright there as well.

Underrated post!!

Jeez, this is a thread about 2017 finals. Do we have to mull over every disappointing finals loss we’ve ever had???

What? You mean bomberblitz isn’t a support network fighting against the trauma this team inflicts upon us any time they get three to four goals up and completely switch off?
