AFL be wrapped their manufactured franchise got up. Stuff the generations of true VFL fans in Victoria.Wtf clubs ever agree to this Crap?

Name down 1968 Restricted 1988 Full, about 10 years later. Lot less exclusive these days Kids in stand in front of long room Bad language Opposition supporters. Pay $661 year and I'm working in Vietnam. Son was born at Mercy in Clarendon street at 8 am Wandered outside for fresh air bit later and strolled down to enlist him . "That's today!" Exclained incredulous MCC clerk at registration desk

Be decades since we won two in a row there. I only seen the Templeton game and another late 80s WIN when Devine coached them. Missed the last two and the draw. Draw actually put us into the finals and put them out

I was there in 72 for Huddos knee. April fools day. Lou in the Sun had predicted Huddo would be off by half time…...

Yep, Brownlow back to first week of finals

Maybe Only six wins from a Premiership

Thanks Tilly, I was at Surfers last round 76, so my recollection is among Rugby scores and the races.

From memory, in final round 22 - we had to beat Pies at Vic Park and hope/rely on Favourites, Carlton beating Footscray. Dogs were already in the final FIVE at that time. They were fifth. Think we accounted for the Pies easy enough 4 or 5 goals. Bear in mind we hadn't won at Victoria Park since 1968. Simultaneously Blues and Dogs fought it out at Western Oval. Robert Walls had a chance to win it for Carlton - and put Melbourne into the finals. Think he missed, kicked a point and tied their game. This gave dogs 2 points for the draw. Put them ahead of us and in to the Final FIVE. From memory, think we were on a roll and could have gone far into September. Think dogs got done easy the next week. Significantly, We ensured Collingwood won their first ever wooden spoon. Not sure if it was certain before we beat them. To their credit, no spooner had ever won it by also winning so many games in a year. So in 1976 we missed the finals from a Robert Walls miss. Only took another eleven years.

Not one of my better moves

Not great timing. I switched from Hawthorn.

Oh yeah, supported the Ds for only 11 years by 1976. Was away for the R22 , Collingwood Melbourne/Carlton Footscray match. We hadn't won at Vic Park since 1968 either. Nearly quarter of a century by 87 and I was OS. Only omen I have now is I am away again Kinda hopin Tom Scully bobs up, kicks the one putting North out.

Supported the Ds for 23 years. 1976 -listened on Gold Coast to Robert Walls' miss against Footscray , that kept us out. 1987 -in UK, trunk calls at 8.00 am and cross county dashes to Australia House in Strand. Devour air freighted AGE and Sunday Press. *Younger posters will have no concept. Pre internet. Actually had to "wait".

I listen to the wireless. Sadly Tony Dalroy is leaving ABC after 25 ,years. Is great comfort to hear all the way here in Vietnam. Also caught 5 AA call of our game.

From Da Nang I listen to 5 AA. One commentator - suggested remedy for their predicament was maybe "Trade out an Ollie Wines" for draft picks. Not that we have any.

May have the chance to beat Geelong two weeks in a row - can dream. Mid -August and we're not out of it.

Yeah, checked that. Big Carl's first game was against. ST KILDA. we lost

Checked wiki. R2 we beat them by 2 points at Glenferrie - last time we ever played there. Saw that. Lost MCG return game by 7 points. Was also at Glenferrie day Hudson did his knee R1 1972

recall Jurrah not being paid a screamer in a tight finish also. and Leigh Colbert for Geelong in a final - turned the tide - probably the year we beat them by 10 goals. The AFL has since ruled they got it wrong with us. Needless to say, Crows won a flag. Interstate clubs get a dream run at home. One Adelaide game v Fitzroy, Lions, 10 points up, time on final quarter, footy Park. Last four kicks of the game - Crow frees. Win by two points.

Saw Big Carl's first game for Melbourne, early 73. Won. Lost against them for next 12 or 13 years. Twice a year in those days, the streak I fear is one of the worst in VFL,AFL history.

Can still play finals. WIN 3 North lose 3 Percentage should take care of itself.

Nothing beats Brucey ,Greenie and Chel giving it to Carlton in that final They were a top side, Hellbent on Essendon. We came from nowhere led them, got headed again and still beat them Todaywas Great too

Was gunna say AFL should stick to what it knows best. Not sure they even do that now. Good start would be turn off Friggin speakers.

Ever thought of taking a thermos and couple of sandwiches. I can go 10 years not spend a zack at footy.
