essendon practice match c 1990

hiya royboys and roygirls.
i'm trying to reboot my memory from all things fitzroy and from the blurry late 80's, early 90's i recall that i went to a game at windy hill that was a practice game in 1990??? all gate receipts went to the royboys. there were quite a few people there. it wasn't a normal pre season practice game. does this ring a bell? my theory-speculation was because of the west coast- collingwood qualifying final draw in 1990 essendon had a longer break than usual during their finals campaign and needed a semi serious run around and it was sheedy's idea to get some extra cash for fitzroy. i don't even think any one was paying any attention to the scoreboard. or i might be completely wrong about everything. go roys

Yes I remember this being on the news, it was raising money for the Roys, at Windy Hill. Dod the likes of Roos, Pert, Osborne play. I think we ( Fitzroy) got smashed.
