Universal Love Down Memory Lane

[T2B_]

Injuries can be such a cruel thing

At his peak, ya could literally play him anywhere. Forward, back, on-ball, ruck, whatever.

Bruce called him a Colossus during that season.

Quite literally taught Adam Goodes how to play footy one game at PP.

David Glascott

Built like Bootsma but was one of the most courageous players I have ever seen.

Great in the air and so versatile as seen by swinging from half back to half forward throughout his career.

What a defensive unit we could put together with all of our greats, tough, brave, versatile and just plain taleneted.

Childhood favourite

Was also watching some old grand finals and swan McKay was playing a game that made Brian Lake look like Shoenmakers

 

[Stig O'Hara]

^^^^^^^

That '72 Grand Final was the game everyone played the game of their lives.

Still reckon Trevor Keogh/Percy were the best 2 that day.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Could play a bit Fitzy but perhaps his career highlight might be a few weeks away hopefully.....

ASADA infraction announcements....

Was sitting in the Heatley Stand when perm haired Ian Robinson gave a free against him for time wasting in that game.

Shooda been a ball up.

Funny back then, in all that time we were winning flags, we just couldn't knock off Essendon.

Have watched this a number of times on youtube and Fitzy had the ball for about 15 seconds....

Lost the game but won the flag that year....

Jimmy Buckley kicked a bomb of a goal late in the last, which should have won it for us, and it is still bouncing along the Eastern Freeway.

Little more unconventional......but I loved this guy:

Another favourite of mine from our glory years, back in the days when men were men!!

..and shorts were short!!

 

[Silvagnis]

For the Dayle Garlett and Mitch Thorp fans out there...



Stephen Oliver

The highlight of his brief career was surely the Round 14 game in 1993 away to West Coast. An early injury in the game to 'Sticks' Kernahan provided Oliver with a rare chance to start out of the goalsquare, and he showed Carlton fans what the hype was all about. He dismantled the premier backman of the competition at the time, Glenn Jakovich, with a display which highlighted his aerial prowess and eye for goal. Two of his nine marks for the day were out and out 'screamers,' whilst he kicked two goals and provided assists for another two.

Close, but not a patch on this fella.



Saw this guy at his peak, there was nothing like him.

Gunna ramble about him once again, he was so good he silenced crowds, he'd slot a goal and people in the crowd would whisper did you see that???? as if they'd seen a magic trick.

Actually, Stig, did not have the pleasure of seeing him play (other than '79 GF, when I was barely out of nappies), but a close friend insists he was the Gaz of the day and probably some, able to achieve ridiculous feats with baulks, marks, goals etc when just about everyone else looked so clumsy. He now has an uncanny resemblance to Marlon Brando as he appeared in The Godfather

Back in the days when another Smurph was doing his deeds in the centre and as a goalsneak....

Will often watch replays my dad has of old games just to watch this man play. Hate to imagine what he would've copped from the crowd.

Big Nich, Had a huge presence
