[Bloodstained Angel]

Over in the Sydney Board I am talking a little bit about this truly Classic Game.

Just wanted to let you know because I would be interested in getting your perspective on this, if you have any thoughts or memories from that evening I would be grateful if you shared them with us Sydney fans.

Oh btw the thread is called ssssyyyyyyddddnnnnnneyyyyyy !

I remember the game BSA

Wet, cold (I was at home, watching on TV of course), and the Swans were trying to get the minor premiership. I don't recall it being a truly classic game, other than the typically hard fought wins that The Swans were accustomed to in that era. I remember the crowd spilling onto the arena after the game. If only they were playing for the "top spot" premiership that night...... it would have been quite an emotional moment (it was anyway)

Rather embarrassingly, I don't really remember the game. Was it the one where there was an enormous storm in Sydney during the day? I just remember the plane with the players on it couldn't land, and had to circle in the turbulance for ages. (And being a teenage girl at the time, I think Jarrod Schofield wrote his car off on the way to the airport for that flight). But the actual game I can't remember.
