Great read moshe.......I was shattered after that loss, and could never understand why SOMEBODY off field didn't realise we had no Coach, and forcibly took over the job for the day.....anyway.....regardless.....it wasn't meant to be.

Hey Moshe,

I too turned 17 in March 1970 (on the 1st actually).

We could be twins.

Happy 60th for March 2013.

Being a Tassie lad from the 70's myself Moshe (uni and all that went with it!) I loved the trip down memory lane. Best time of my life!:grin:

That lace out pass from Bob Chitty to Mark Athorn was pretty special though.

The only vague thing about this puzzling post that bears any remote reference to the discussion is that Athorn played in the 1993 GF; and Chitty was a dual Premiership player in 1938 and 1945.

I reckon if we'd picked Ahmed Saad we would have won.

I still get p*ssed off thinked about that GF. We had a brilliant team that year but having Armstrong in particular not play certainly depleted it. But even still the team on the ground were good enough to win. I could not believe what Balme got away with and nothing from the umpies. I always wondered, and doubted, whether Balme would have been brave enough to do what he did to Southby if Big Nick had not been in la-la-land. Big Nick never took kindly to any of his flock being dealt with inappropriately .

Anyone remember it?

I reckon this lady does!!!!!!

You see, Sister Madeleine just happens to be 109 - which means she’s lived through each of the Blues’ 16 League premierships since 1906 and surely qualifies as the game’s oldest supporter.

I reckon we should give her a life membership.

I was there.No Keogh or Armstrong which was our onball brigade.Vinnie Cattoggio came in but had a shocker..............what shitted me the most was a Saints reject Stephen Rae playing the game of his life for the Tigers.We were lachlustre to say the least.

Good lord, she's 5 years older than frank dardew!

The only time I actually cried over a footy game...real tears.

I felt ripped off, and I've hated Richmond, Balme and Fowler ever since

Tough day

Pretty sure I cried, shat myself, & threw up

Same. I remember the 1972 GF was a bit better. Although I slept through it.

1973 GF was possibly the worst day of my life.
The day started badly when our polystyrene Esky exploded outside Jolimont station, and my mate Kev and I had to carry 4 dozen cans and what Ice we could salvage in our shirts (converted into swags). Try and get away with that today!!
We had standing room tickets in the Olympic stand beside where Big Nick was floored.
Many things have changed since that day. For one, I'm a teetotaler these days ....
But ...... :twisted:

my hatred for the Tiggas has never waned.

I was there, at the top of the Northern stand, an ugly experience. They bashed us, not just Nick and SOuthby but all over the ground. Wallsy played a terrific game. I think Phil Pinnell was very good too. Very unlucky to lose Keogh and Armstrong, and Brent Crosswell, one of my favourites, looked pretty distinteretsed. I think he was annoyed that after playing CHB all year he didn't get the job on Hart (tho after Doullie's effort the previous year, understandable he wd go to Hart again).

Amazing decision to play Vinnie CAtoggio in his first game, esp when Ashman was fit and had about 10 games under his belt. Took us till 1982 to settle the score, but we did.
