Andrew Carrazzo (or was he injured?)

He was out injured with a broken arm.I think he did that in the first final.

 

[LongBomb]

That was a pretty fun day.

I have a photo of myself holding the cup with Menschy!

I was there.I was sitting near Catman and his family.

The biggest cheer when the players got their medals went to who ?

THE MONSTER !!!!!

Hahahaha. That was a great day. We got the "Oooh Ahhh Tim McGrath" chant going when he was collecting the cup!!!

I still love that goal that Menschy kicked over his head! Anyone remember??

[chapmanmagic35]

You just gotta love that stuff!!!

I wonder what the scoreline would be if we had the same VFL team from 2002 playing in the VFL this year. We wouldn't be on the bottom that's for sure!!!

 

[LongBomb]

When he accepted the cup, didn't McGrath say something along the lines of "This feels better than when I got married" ?

 

[chapmanmagic35]

Yeah, I think it went something like that.

Bluey is coaching somewhere down Geelong way these days. Does anyone know where?

 

[raboyle]

Does the Geelong club sell the jumpers with the VFL symbol on them at all?

One of those with some signatures of that team would be a nice addition to my collection of signed gear.

 

[Kate]

Seeing how excited we all get after winning the VFL, just imagine what it will be like if/when we win an AFL flag!

 

[JUBJUB]

Yeah, I think it went something like that.

Bluey is coaching somewhere down Geelong way these days. Does anyone know where?

He coaches Grovedale and he still writes a weekly article in the Addy.

I think he said the win was better than sex.

 

[chapmanmagic35]

Kate, I've been dreaming of that for years now! I cannot wait, and I hope it's this year.

Often wondered how much the club/supporters/city would celebrate. My guess is pretty hard!

Me too! My Dad has the 63 GF on reel, but it just not enough... I live in Syd and have already pre-warned my boss that I'll be moving to Geelong for a month if we do win!

I will be living in the states and by the time I have finished the Yanks will think the crocodile hunter is a quite tame little guy. I will make one of those special bits at the end of the news. The feelgood story
