  1. The good thing that stands out to me with all the banners and decorations for either clubs is that people respect what others have done with no damage to displays. Not so sure if we were playing some other clubs. You fill in the clubs name.
  2. We started the cheer squad in 1959 so have seen a few (1956 onwards). In 1964 we were in T-section (city end) which was standing room only but had 4 rows of seats on the fence. After the game we stayed at the G overnight as the club put on food and drinks and we just soaked up the atmosphere. Played footy on the ground in eerie light around midnight. Still have very clear memories from that finals series and looking forward to new memories from this season.
  3. Can someone get this thru to Matthew Lloyd. That's all he sprouts is one game in 28 days. Mind you he is tipping us.
  4. What do you expect when Channel 7 is run from Sydney. No Flippen idea that lot up there.
  5. As long as he has told the umpiring department.
  6. The old Kings Park photo op. I do love Perth as I have family and friends there BUT the attitude towards "easteners" is small town minded. Fortunately most don't subscribe to it. Max lead our boys to the premiership. I was at the last one and been waiting a long time for this one. Bring it home. Go Dee's.
  7. If not opened tomorrow then next year for a huge birthday.
  8. I have both as well BUT I have earmarked a Grange '78.
  9. That's not true. They sneek up on you as you cannot see their fin's anymore.
  10. MT64 replied to Batmark's topic in Melbourne Demons
    I used to live just by there. Great memories.
  11. And West Coke also had chemical assistance I believe. Been going on for years.
  12. Would you like chips with that????
  13. Wouldn't let them know your an Aussie at the moment.
  14. John Beckwith used to kick it to his mum in the crowd every week. Was an expert at it.
  15. That was a banner we hung on the fence back in the 60's.
  16. Will never happen as they are all accredited by the AFL and they cannot go against the script.
  17. You clearly see the umpire head down looking at the line not the play. Waste of time for review.
  18. As the ball sailed thru I could imagine you screaming frightening the wild camels. Take care out there.
  19. I remember when directories were handed out and we would go around the neighbourhood asking if people wanted them. Those given to us were cut up for the cheer squad. We fortunately found a printer in Carnegie who would let us go through his off scraps which again were used for ticker tape. The first train from Carnegie on game day was a hassle getting bags of cutup paper and banners on. Fortunately Jim Cardwell (Secretary) found a spare room for us under the old pavilion for the banners. Lots more memories were had.
  20. And a big shout out back at you. You slept outside of "T-Section" before the grannie? We spent the week there.
  21. 17 and was there with the cheer squad down by by the city end goal. Was lucky to have seen previous premierships as well. Been waiting, waiting and waiting. Can this be the year??
  22. Can anyone please show us the difference of Geelong's ground compared to the MCG. Not really IT savvy.
  23. Thanks very much.
  24. That last piece of play deserved a full house crowd. Oh the whinging and booing from the home team supporters would have been priceless.
  25. Same happened to me as well. Very poor of Foxtel. Get your act together nuff nuff's. Promptly set up a new replay early this morning. Has anyone else noticed that for set shots for goals none of our players are spinning the ball on the runup. This used to really pi$$ me off and could well have contributed to many points being scored.
