Game Day 94 PF NM vs Cats - now on Fox Footy

[Rod Stroker]

It's number 50 on their best 50 games from the last 50 years. Should be closer to number 1!
Only game I ever left in tears..

Fridge back playing 16 weeks after a knee reco?

The ‘94 prelim should be known as: Revenge of the Umpires.

The ‘94 prelim should be known as: Revenge of the Umpires.

What were they getting revenge on?

They're savaging us early. Gave a free against Ischenko for charging Barnes but missing him. Gave a free against Corey on the wing for holding his ground in a marking contest against Handley.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Ugh.

Right in ******* front of me.

True.

Swap Revenge with Attack.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Strange seeing Archer in the center, and Sholl on half back..

 

[Rod Stroker]

Geez we missed some gettable goals that first quarter

Colby on the bench about to get schooled by Carey

I still cannot watch it

 

[giantroo]

Anyone else notice this?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Nicholls didn't last a quarter, already on the bench with the jacket on.

 

[Rod Stroker]

19 frees to 6, half way through the 3rd

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

19 frees to 6, half way through the 3rd

They get 13 more free kicks from this point.

We get 7.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Commetti: "22 free kicks to 7, that really is an imbalance, it's like an extra player out there.."

More like 3, Dennis.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Gee Mann was average, forgot how flakey his kicking was.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Greatest. Game. Ever.

 

[Gasometer]

Cool thread

Cant wait to read how it turns out

 

[Johnny99]

Saddest I have ever felt walking out of the MCG, after a game.

I was shattered.

We got robbed by the umpires that day. That was criminal...

 

[Palpatine]

McAdams last game for North. a big fall from the 1993 season.
Roberts comes in after 16 week out and didn't do much, he replaced Romero from the previous final, who then went to Bulldogs in pre-season draft.
Mann's last game for North, he goes to Fremantle. As he is a contracted player we have access to pick a 16yo in a mini draft - Stuart Cochrane.
Surprise, surprise * make an agreement with Freo to not sign any contracted player who finish below * on the ladder. This gives * the no1 pick in the 16 year old mini draft, their selection - Matthew Lloyd (basically draft tampering)

 

[SMaturin]

11 year old Smaturin in tears for an hour.

 

[giantroo]

Robbed. Two ******* seconds, two!

 

[Colbys Boots]

To Gary Ablett's credit, as soon as he kicked the goal, he ran straight to his foe Mick Martyn to shake hands and offer commiserations.

Oh wait a minute, he didn't do that. Because he is a s**t bloke and a campaigner of a human being.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

* me. I felt it all over again.

Absolutely torched a GF spot. I almost forgot how good Stevo and Scwatta were. Schwatta's half volley pick and full speed then 30m handball.

Carey looked cooked in the last 5 minutes. Probably his calf.

One of the greatest quarters ever. Mid 90s was the greatest style of football.

 

[Snake_Baker]

A Geelong supporter apologized to me after the match.

Of course, I take personal blame for the result as a decade earlier I was an indoor cricket team mate of Leigh Tudors, and I will forever rue the fact that I did not completely destroy one of his knees in an "accidental" collision.
