What a slaughter!

I was there 15 years of age, our first final in my life time. Still can remember the roar that day.

Vineys opening goal is still a great memory 34 years later

Did we go in favourites and expected win?

North weren’t exactly a mug team that year and lost a game the week before to the premiers after the siren.

From memory we weren’t favourites although we’d come off winning 5 or 6 in a row to get there .

The last round was pretty intense and I may be mistaken but I think the Hawks, Swans and North games were all close with those 3 fighting out for a double chance along with Carlton

One of the best days I've had at the footy 

The sound of the crowd and spirit that team played sent shivers up your spine 

Something very special about MFC and finals footy at the MCG
