I forgot 59 as well. I was spoiled but the intervening years have been very poor.

I though it would go on forever. The optimism of youth.

It's a nice little fantasy but I don't see it happening. Very happy to be proved wrong though! Prove me wrong Dees!!!!

Yep. Apart from the birth of my children my most cherished memories are of seeing the 56, 57, 60 and 64 flags. I went home very unhappy in 58.

Oh to once again go to the footy expecting to win and rarely being disappointed. 

Hard to believe, these days, I guess but just maybe... from 2028 onwards ...

I recently dug up this photo of the players having a celebratory beer after the 1957 Grand Final.

Don't think so SWYL.    Pretty certain that that's Big Bob on the far right.  Memory fading, and struggling to recognise the others.  Can anyone help me out?   .........   or will this take the thread too far off track?

Fifth from the left with beer in right hand is Ian Thorogood.

At least he doesn't have Geelong in his top 8.

It's going to be glorious watching them crash and burn this year.

God what I wouldn't give just to see us win ONE flag! (and not die of a heart attack in the minutes leading up to it!).

Agree, just one would be a great start, before I croak preferably?
