Think of it as payback for all the times our full forwards are held or infringed and not rewarded with a free kick.

yes i know. win some, lose some. like ablett's mark of the century that wasn't - lol

You forget just how good David was and also great to see the stars that were around him in that game.!!!!!

Had to win to play finals.  

Playing our bogey team who had beaten us at the G earlier in the year.

Unbelievable effort. 

Was at the game when he did his knee for the 3rd time. 

Still the most deflating time I have ever left a game, loved the bloke.

I was at the SCG that day, and will never forget it.  Schwarta, Stinger and Stormboy (Charles), all outstanding, and all had their careers cruelled by injury.  Cost us a flag I reckon.  After the game Mrs Deeoldfart, myself and our three kids were in a bus full of very forlorn Sydney fans returning to Central Station.  Five of us up the back singing the Grand Old Flag with gusto. Fond memories. Please excuse the nostalgia.

SCHWARZ LYON FARMER NEITZ WHITE T VINEY T JOHNSTONE A MAC LEONCELLI TINGAY ROBERTSON RIGONI..How can we not win a Flag.

One hellava team and playing style. Overt evidence of how the umpires controlled the outcomes of previous matches for this team.

Agree, second worse time was doing the knee a second time !                      Always thought he should have been made captain. !

With all the turmoil in his private life, it was probably best for the club and David that it was Neita and not him who was made captain in 2000.

At the risk of derailing a very worthy thread, a fair number of those players never played together.

I was squinting and trying to figure out if I had lost my mind also.

Cant recall Trapper running the wing against Norf and Sydney in those two epic finals wins.

Was that the last time we beat Sydney? ???

Lyon.        Schwartz.       Lovell.  

Pike.        Jakovich.        Charles. 

 

Pretty decent forwardline in ‘94.

Just makes me sad

I'm not sure all 6 were ever on the park together.

Two times by the looks of things - Round 14 and 15 1994.

Tragic.
