I know it's stupid, but seeing colour images like this make the past more real for me. Black and white images are fine but it feels too detached, colour images make it feel as though it could've happened last week. Like I said, stupid, I know.

No way, I LOVE IT!!!! ♥️💙 😜

No they did not.

I think I'll get a bottle of Macallan and I've also got a bottle of Blue label Johnnie Walker to get stuck into

You are a saint Wiz 🤣

You can take that to the bank KLV and they are dreaming if they think anyone will listen to them

Papley, Daniher, Dunkley were all still under contract

Is Cerra still in Perth?

Yes I've still got the little figurine keyring amongst my kids toys somewhere

No way I love it!!

Don't worry Jaded I live in the north-west suburbs and I didn't take offence - in fact sometimes I wonder how I ended up here after growing up in the north-east! 😂

Get Viney to run through him early on to take the wind out of his sails

That guy is such a [censored]

What did he say?

Maxy was in Gawd Mode in that 3rd Quarter 🤣

CARNA DEMONS LETS [censored] GO!!!! WOOOHOOHOOOOOO!!!!! WE STUCK IT RIGHT UP EM!! THAT'S WHAT WE DID! STUCK IT RIGHT UP EM!! ♥️💙

Give 'em hell, Demons!

A lot of bests too though - for me the 1988 Semi Final at the G against the Pies was magic. Huge crowd, beautiful day, fights before the game started and we led them all day. We were sitting down near the fence and when our bench players ran past to warm up I shouted out to one of them - now I'd don't know if it was Viney, Lovell or Febey (they all had the blonde tipped mullets) but what I do know is that judging by the look I got I called out the wrong name 😂 I had a lot of relos who barracked for the Pies and I was taught to love Melbourne and hate Collingwood. The following week at Waverley where we beat the Blues to enter our first GF since 64 was fantastic as well. Unfortunately I missed the game against the Eagles in the EF as I had a friend's birthday party but there were a few of us who followed Melbourne and when we heard we'd won the game we all went ballistic (as ballistic as a bunch of 6 year olds can get).

There are so many worst games 😩 - I remember a game vs Geelong at the G in 89 we kicked 2 goals for the whole game! We beat them a month later at Waverley by 3 points.

I went to this game with my now wife just before we started going out. She is a Cats supporter but was pretty nice about the whole thing. I think she just thought I was an [censored] for following this team and she still did until a couple of months ago 🤣

Thanks for these, will check them out. I agree Triple J is unbearable these days (the last couple of decades?) When I do play the radio it is Triple R or PBS although it can depend which show you land on. I'm not a huge fan of indie rock which seems be the predominant genre of rock these days though I'm sure there is still plenty of stuff out there I am yet to discover. No doubt in 10 years I'll hear an album that came out in the last couple of years and think "how have I not heard this before?!"

First game I remember being at was round 1, 1988 against Richmond. We flogged them. Best game I attended would have to be the 2000 QF that last quarter was immense and when the siren went I was going ballistic giving it to the Carlton supporters. 1992 at Vic Park would have to be up there as well, Jakovich with a lazy 7 goals after being benched early. 1989 Queens Birthday against the Hawks at Princes Park another memorable one. Queens Birthday against the Pies where Watts kicked the sealer was awesome too (2016?) Round 1 2005 against the Bombers was memorable too as it was the Broadbridge Memorial game after he died the previous summer. Worst - I'll leave out the Neeld era and the 2000 GF as that goes without saying - I think the 92 ANZAC Day game against the Bombers where we were up by 41 points at 3/4 time, kicked the 1st goal of the last quarter and then the Bombers kicked 8 goals straight and won by a point. Some other infamous ones were losing by a goal at Windy Hill when Steven Clark had a shot after the siren from 50 to draw the game and he just fell short after the Bombers supporters had already invaded the field (1991?), and thrashings from the Cats & Pies in early 96 or 97. 2004 & 2005 EF's against the Bombers and Cats were bad too.
