Bulldogs goal: sentence describing the passage of play resulting in the score.
West Coast goal: surname of player + "goal".

If this was for Collingwood, I'd swear it was being run by Eddie McGuire.

That twitter is great. Can confirm I was there and it was a weird old game!

 

[Bender_]

Was at that game too, one of my favourite non-finals games. Still have a VHS copy of it somewhere.

Actually didn't mind the WACA in small doses.

A completely different game. Only 35 tackles in the game for both teams combined. AFL was better back in those days

disagree completely. AFL is in great shape. There's just too many s**t teams playing colts sides against men.

Was there too, was almost ready to crack the shits and walk out at quarter time, glad I didn't

 

[Selurs]

Remember this one as well. Wasn't there. My parents had booked us into a symphony at the Concert Hall. On the way in we'd listened to the first quarter on the car radio, needless to say, we weren't too happy at that point. Imagine our surprise a couple hours later catching the news on the way home to hear we'd won!

The best bit was that we were allowed to stay up late when we got home to watch the tape we'd made...on our Betamax machine...wow 20 years was a LONG time ago!

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Was a great game! My dad was absolutely cracking it at quarter time, and I just told him to calm down and if they could kick 8 in a quarter then so could we. He must of thought I was a bit of a smart arse at half time. I was pretty smug

 

[Gods_Son23]

Going to watch

Was at that game, at the WACA. What a night!

Was at that game as well. One of my favourites.

ITT: My age profiling of the board is waaaaaaay off.

 

[Monocle]

People forget how good Fraser Gehrig was.
He was treated so badly by a lot of our so called supporters.

Had he stayed we would have won another .
Would have been the dangerous KPF that we were missing in the 04-07 years.

The Guy was a Beast so big and so quick.

People went to games whilst they were children/teenagers you know.

I was 5 and lived in Kalgoorlie. No luck for me

Yeah, I was 20

Didn’t we use the pick we got from the Gehrig trade to pick Kerr? If so, I’m happy with the way it planned out.

 

[RookiePick]

Fraser was a total beast. I really didn't understand the hate he got and then he was a dual Coleman winner at StK and towelled us up more than once IIRC.

Oh I know, but at the very least they’d be 6-10ish at the time to remember anything from 1998. Conversely, I was 2.

Yeah. Pick 18.

Apparently he holds the Bench Press record at both WC and StK.

Remember this? What a tackle that was. Gonna post in the Underrated Moments thread

Loved him when he was at the eagles (in my childhood), he and Mitchell White were my favourite players at the time
