Who's "Fitzroy"?

We kicked badly that day.

I was there with my Mum out at Waverley. Stayed till the end, tough day at the office.

I reckon 186 was worse. The 21 PF atoned to a degree but until we return the favour to the cats in full I won't be able to forget it. I hope I get to see it.

I reckon this thread has been worth it for the gifs. Well done to all concerned.

I was at that game gee those were the days...

These are the fond memories that are always a pleasure to look back on. This, 186 and our 148 point loss versus Essendon.

That day stinks

Extremely brave effort.

On a happier note, we did get up to beat Essendon on the following Saturday. Robert Walters kicked nine goals.

This fact always astounds me 🤣

Unusual tactics that year.

From Demonwiki for 1979:

"The club was so desperate for a competitive advantage that they had a consultant who practised a process called 'eyeballing', where players were encouraged to sit with knees touching and stare into each other's eyes, then be frank about their feelings towards their teammates contribution."

Imagine touching knees with Big Carl or Fabulous Phil Carman!

Own up fellas, who went to the game?

If my memory serves me correctly it was also raining that day?
