1998 Hotter Than Hell

Anyone who spent time at the MCG in '98 would remember this song being flogged violently at every break.

Ha!  It’s eerily familiar.

What sticks in my mind is the Voice of the G halftime Mario Cart races.  Some epic battles there!

Interspersed with a whole lot of Energy  Australia ads booming on that old scoreboard that eventually caught on fire ?

I love how much the goal umpires milked it, and how often the commentators would say, "I wonder what the goal umpire is going to do."

Hopefully our losses to Richmond and Hawthorn this year were our st kilda and Geelong loses in 1998, or our Carlton loss in 2000. Get them out of the way.

One of my favourite memories. I'd never seen us beat Carlton at Princes Park. Was sitting behind the goals. 

Also Junior missed that goal. 100%. I remember my dad smacking the footy record on his leg because he missed. And everyone else thought he did.

I was behind the goals that day too!

I remember as we headed out hearing the chatter about Neitz having broken his ankle - obviously he had been stretchered off, but this was prior to the internet days so nobody knew exactly what had happened.  I was shattered to hear that as he had been in such good form, and the tandem he had created with Lyon and the Ox, with the Wiz at their feet, had already clicked and was creating havoc for the opposition defence.

I believe we were undefeated that year with Schwartz, Neitz, Lyon and Farmer all playing.

Throw in Smith, the young urgency of Yze and Robbo, two key rucks in Stynes and White, Tingay still playing good football when he was healthy.

No surprise we went on a run towards the end with a healthy lineup.

And the "When your whole car's singing it's Ultratuned" jingle from before they switched to sleazy ads.

My favourite is when Tingay puts us further in front against the Eagles and does a little fist pump:

'Big kick this one... I think he's got it... Melbourne, increase their lead'

So many good quotes from that tape!
