I tell my daughter we've won 7 on the trot and she laughs. She's been traumatised too much in the past by this club

There was that game at Whitten Oval many years ago - which would have only cost you one chocolate


:lol:


I was there, and I left just before we were reportedly gifted our only goal with a suss free kick.

BUT I was also there two weeks later when we stopped the Eagles' interminable run of wins.

Swings and roundabouts...

I was there for the entire game, and afterwards swore I would never return to that god forsaken, miserable ground. I’ve never been back.

I've never really thought about it but that might have been my last game there as a spectator.

I played there many years later, after it was well past its AFL use (along with me, playing Masters) with a cyclone blowing to one end. Fun ground to play on if you don't mind a bit of a run - it's a long one. And great to use the baths afterwards - bloody pampered AFL sooks :lol:

That was the last time we played there.

I went the year before & we actually won. Jezza had dropped a bunch of senior players & brought in reserves, & we got up by 5 goals. But it was still a cold & dismal place

Yep, cold and dismal alright. Poor design. Don't miss it.

Anyway...back to the swagger...

We're doing okay, I think.
