What a Game what an absolute Star. ??!!!!!!!!

I have been watching this while exercising.

what a great game. Even our lesser players going hard

Stynes what a champion.  Jakovitch that mid air soccer goal. Could do no wrong.

how-did we ever let Spaulding go?

and I thought 32 Clarke played well  but I cannot remember him.

91      I was going regularly to the second half of games but cannot remember him.

what was his story?

 

We recruited Clark from Essendon in 1990, but he only played two seasons with us despite looking like a decent player in my view.  His first year was wrecked by a knee injury and he only played three games, but came back to play 18 games in 1991.

He was surprisingly delisted and then moved to St Kilda.  Sadly, Clark passed away in 2005.

My memory is that he was on the ground with his leg tangled with that Essendon Daniher filth, who wrenched his knee deliberately.  Could not believe at the time he escaped a report.

 

Would be piz funny if I was mistaken, but I can actually still recall the images.

I finally got around to watching the game and reliving some of the fantastic memories of that era - Jim Stynes, Garry Lyon, Brett Lovett, the all round strength of the team up forward, down back and on the ball. We had fantastic marking strength, knew how to set up scoring and had plenty of players who could convert, not the least of who was Jako (and remember we had the Davids (Neitz and Schwarz) and Sean Charles all waiting in the wings. The opportunities were definitely there to snaffle a flag if things went right.

This particular game was probably the most exhilarating home and away game I’ve ever experienced. Pity we didn’t get 10 years of Jako in that sort of form.

I just love that he kicked a few out on the full and got reported.

He literally did everything in that game and I remember watching it.
