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.

My family's friends owned that milkbar and I have passed on your details.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
