Great memories, was there behind the goals with my niece, it was her first game live I think. What a game! 

Last game before I headed off to London for a year, my profile pic is from said game. I was with a Collingwood mate and Saints lass who were heaping it on us.... I really enjoyed the outcome!!!

Wonna, Jimmy with Wonna old man, kick on the ground after the game. Fantastic day.

We had some decent players in that line up. Poor to only win 3 games that year.

Was living in Fremantle for this match- was a great day!  That, and the win against the Lions were epic!

I was there with the Mrs and kids. At half time I wanted to go home (yeah, I know - soft!), but the kids made me stay because it was one of the first games when they allowed kick-to-kick on the G after the game and they wanted to do that.

So glad we stayed, it was an unbelievable comeback!

 

Great memory and 30 minutes well spent watching the last quarter again, made even better when they panned to poor old Harvey in the Freo box late in the last and there’s one of the Scott brothers staring blankly.

Carn the Dess???

"Melbourne in the first half were like one of those nervous African dictators. They always took a different route home. Now they're kicking goals."

What a gem from DC.

Always loved watching Wonaeamirri play.  Such a tallent, it's a pitty he didn't have a longer career with us. 

Don't know if he's still playing for the NT Thunder in the NEAFL or not, but saw him playing against Southport a few years back before a demolition job we did later on the Suns.  Bought back fond memories.

Still plays up north, and my word he has been in a good paddock.

Went to that game and sat behind the goals with a Pies supporting mate (really it’s his only personality fault). 

When Wonna kicked that goal we were both up out of our seat cheering like madmen - that’s how electrifying that moment was. 

That game was a moment of light in some dark times. 

My father, a 70 year Melbourne supporter, was supposed to have a table in the dining room with his mates that day. Unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly and our family and his friends ended up with a couple of extra tables having a fairly emotional lunch. 

At half time there were a number of black humour comments that he was ‘lucky’ that he wasn’t around to watch just how crap Melbourne were. And then the tide turned. What a roller coaster it was and, of course, we all thought they were playing for Dad and he was helping from above. 

Then we were able to have a kick on the G after the game and quietly spread half his ashes on the ground, CHF scoreboard end.
