Gee wizz if that’s retro then I must now be getting old , I was at three of those matches ! 

That Jeff White moment.

A bit emotional that one.

 

Some great flashbacks. Mark Of The Year went to Winston Abraham from memory in 1998. Wiz stiff, that was a ripper.

My top 5 "retro":

- Beating Carlton in the finals in 94

- Jakovich pretty much all of 93-94

- Sean Charles running goal from the centre in 94 vs WC

- Beating Carlton in the 2000 finals after being 30 down in the third quarter

- Brad Green kicking the winning goal vs Hawthorn in round 1...2002? Or maybe it was 2003.

Trapper Johnston's 2nd and 3rd quarters in the 2002 Semi vs Adelaide an honourable mention.

Beating Carlton in the 2000 qualifying final for the twin joys of the utter desolation of the Carlton fans vs the euphoria we all experienced.

The looks on sad Carlton faces at the end was priceless.

 

My favourite memory from the dim dark retro past would be going to Linton St and watching those star saints, Murray, Ross Smith, Verdun Howell, Ian Stewart, Ian Cooper etc play and stealing lemonade bottles from between the legs of saints fans, being chased by said fans and taking the bottles back to the milk bar for the tuppence or threepence refund on each one. Me and my 8 brothers and sisters made a veritable fortune every saints home game.

We sometimes stole them back again from the milk bar to get refunds at another milk bar.

What if I just write them out a cheque for £ 54. 8. 3 halfpenny and we'll call it quits.

And anyone who knows what that last post means, you're too bloody old. Just focus on trying to remember if you put your trousers on.

1 litre Coke, fanta, Lift bottles were 20 cents back in the 80's and 90's before plastic, they were absolute money makers.
