Name one moment that stands out amongst all others that you were there for.

I have to choose between Harmes tapping the ball back in , in 1979, I was about 3 metres away from that.

Or.................. Magro taking out Jezza at Princes Park also in 1979.


I'll pick the Magro moment, because the atmosphere at that ground after that incident was incredible, never felt anything like it since.

Yours?

Being a country bumpkin who only started going to the footy semi-regularly (1-2 times a year) just before we became really shit I don't have a lot to choose from.

If I had to choose I'd say Andrew Walker's debut game, the only time I got to see a game at Princes Park. When the crowd started chanting "Walker, Walker....." I got a sense of what it was like when we had a true partisan home crowd. All my other live games to that point had been vs the likes of Collingwood, Essendon* or Richmond at the MCG.

Sitting in the Robert Heatley stand as a 12 year old in 1981 when Peter Bosustow took that mark against Geelong. I remember actually being disappointed when I saw the replay because I thought he'd gone even higher.

we won the 1972 Grand Final with my high school mates from Tassie watching us cream Richmond. Big Nick, Wallsy and Jezza all starring. Standing room only...

Tarczon bump on Mackenna, and Minton-connell kicking the goal at the Heatley stand end at the end of the game. absolutely nuts.

so many things but the most fun was the 30:30 game...now that was glorious!

(think I'll slink off now and daydream about those good old days)

The win over Essendon** in the 99' Prelim

Every game at Princess Park I went to in the Mid 90s

I was there the day Sticks kicked the ball OOTF in the draw against the drug cheats.

I was there the day Harry outran Sean Rehn to kick goal of the century.

I was there on that magnificent day in 1999.

I was there the following week not feeling nearly disappointed enough afterwards.

I was there both times Kouta did his knee.

I was there when Bruce and Green collectively killed our finals campaign in one quarter.

I was there the day Norf pummelled us by 20 goals at Etihad (and Edelsten won a car in our end-of-season raffle).

I was there that final day in the Heatley Stand the day Judd ran out for us for the first time.

I was there that day too, however it seemed to be more like the Southern Stand at the MCG than the Heatley Stand.

The three that stand out for me:

1. The 30.30.210 game. I still remember lots of little moments from it.
2. The 1970 GF. I was there with a bunch of Collingwood supporters. Bliss!
3. The Windy Hill game (1975 or 76) where we kicked 14 goals 1 behind in the 2nd quarter and 8 players were reported for blueing, including David McKay who also kicked 8 goals that day. Funniest part was when that point was kicked after a run of around 10 or 11 goals straight, the whole Carlton crowd booed.

VFL park, rd 1 1986. Debut of Doro, Braddles and Sticks. We lost but we had the basis for a new era.

And yep, the Minty goal was a cracker! I drove to the ground at half time, saw only 1 Carlton goal but it was worth it.

Hanna did his knee, John Platten tore us apart, and John Elliott was furious because he'd taken the $20,000 signing on fee but went to Hawthorn, but I think Craig Bradley did the same to Essendon*.

Chronologically:

1) when we took all before us in 95 - didn't miss a game.

2) when dog Milburn put SOS into the following week (no I wasn't the guy behind the dugout getting excited)

3) when Andrew Walker stood on carlisle's head for (not) mark of the year - this was with my son who just looked at me wide eyed so it's probably my favourite.

I was sitting about 20 meters from Fraser Brown's tackle on Wallace in the 99 Prelim. Had the perfect view. Best ever.
