Libbas goal in the 97 prelim

[ScragCity]

Was it a goal?

 

[ThirdLegUp]

yes

 

[#1 Dogs Fan]

Dont care about the goal. I just liked how Libba wrapped his legs around his team mate in celebration

i would love it if the afl or the bulldogs or someone for that matter applied hawk-eye/digitised goal review. They have the necessary information given there would have been more than one angle from the telecast that day.

How many threads have we got covering this topic? Is it the off-season already?

From where i was sitting it looked like it went directly over the goal post.

Having said that, in the words of Chopper Read "Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn"...it was definitely a goal!

 

[dogzrule]

Still feel sick thinking about it. I was sitting up other end of G

 

[Contador]

JJ's point was a goal.

 

[ScragCity]

JJ's point was a goal.

Yeah it was. Imagine if we had lost after that. Thank God for Roughy's game saving mar.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

‘97. I was 12 years old and had never seen an Aussie Rules game.

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Yeah it was. Imagine if we had lost after that.

That would have just about been it for me. Suicide watch.

What about when James Cook missed his seventh because some f*ckwit through a apple core at him? We would have one the Premiership in that aunt had not have thrown the apple core.

Who threw the apple core? I’m f*cking dead-serious.

+ danny southern not playing because of a bullshit suspension that wouldnt even be cited today

Mark West kicked it out on the full twice and they were not goals either. My radio broke that day for some reason
maybe being embedded in the bedroom wall had something to do with it. I went in 98 and that was even worse,
but at least I got to see Andrew McLeod play. We choked big time failed to kick a goal in the last quarter.

I’ve said it on here before and I’ll say it again.

The reason we lost the 1997 Prelim was that Plough played Nathan Brown ahead of Steve Kolyniuk.

 

[bobs head soup]

We also laid 17 tackles (to their 43) for the entire match. Often overlooked stat.

I was 12. Top level of the Southern Stand, near centre wing.

There was a second shooter.

Should've drafted Dale Morris earlier

Grant and Hudson fighting over the ball in an open goal square cost us that game.

 

[X_box_X]

Adelaide being the better team cost us the game.

Ive made three of these threads since ive been here. Never gets old

I was there that day sitting seven rows back behind the point post. It went a meter to the left of the right hand goal post as I was looking at it. And I thought you ripper am I off to the BIG DANCE to watch us take on a severely wounded St Kilda. Couldn't believe it when the point was signalled

Possibly, but the bigger selection mistake was playing Romero with a dodgy dislocated shoulder from the semi. He was out of the prelim before half time, so we played the second half down one (key) midfielder. Billy should have replaced Romero, not Brown.

 

[The Original Swooper]

I thought it was a goal at the time. But I’ve never forgiven Mark West.
