Ah yes I remember it now.

This the most important game anyone has ever played for this club, individually. Its his ninth afl game, life wasn't working out to well, down in the city. Only got a game because of injury to some port flog.

Can't remember the year but it was a showdown win after having no bench due to injuries. Even one of our 18 players on the field in Luke Jericho played the second half with a fractured sternum. I remember Jon Griffin landing badly on his back but continued to play on in the game with back pain. One of the gutsiest wins ever by the club!

 

[Bosley]

Ah yes I remember it now.

That, then we led West Coast at half time of the Prelim and Biglands did his knee. FFS, some things just are not meant to be.

I always thought maybe it was footy karma for snatching the flags we did and then calling the Power chokers in the early 2000's.

Oh how about Jason Porplyzia dislocating his shoulder at the SCG, taped it up came back on and kicked 5 goals in a BOG display despite heavily favouring the dislocated shoulder

 

[SugarShane]

Absolute murder! Absolute murder!

And we haven't stopped paying for it since.

The scientist disproved all the science about the team with the most rotations being advantaged when we won that one. One of the club's greatest wins.

I left when we were 9 points down. Seems so stupid looking back as I only had to walk to my dad's place which was down the road. But we were 9 points down, there were only a couple of minutes left. We had no chance of winning. Think we got 4 consecutive frees to win us the game ha ha.

No matter whoever comes through, no Crow will ever top Porpoise as my No. 1 Crow.

Beating Sydney at the scg when Robran broke his leg and Viska kicked a goal on one leg with a bad ankle. Brilliant.

Footy Karma... That or the face that Van Berlo, the fittest players going around and possibly in the comp couldn't keep up with Cousins in the second half.

Some great memories here.

And some say we have no history.

Shane Ellen at Ff to start the 97 Gf had the commentators in shock. What a move by Blight - 5 goals says it all!

 

[Crow_Magnon]

Trent Ormond-Allen in the ruck against the Saints out a Waverley was another master-stroke (can't recall the year...think it was Blight again). From memory we won 15.9 to 9.12 or similar....

I did a preseason at North Adelaide under Hart, don't like him much. I ended up helping out a mate with a bloody night milk run, so was doing 2 full time jobs through the Xmas break. Came back having done no fitness work, saw the writing on the wall tried to pull the pin and secure my invite back again next year. He told me to keep plugging away and then cut me due to not completing a fitness run in the required time 2 weeks before the trial games. I told him my fitness had deteriorated and I wouldn't be able to catch up. Anyway, that was over 20 years ago and I'm well over it now. Water under the bridge. Barely gave it another thought. Anyone know what type of car he's driving these days.

Whatever kind of car it is, it's always parked at the TAB.

Was under Blight.

Ormond-Allen quite often attends games and drinks in the Ridings bar. His mates love giving him stick over that moment.

Burton's mark of the year that was so high it was almost out of camera shot. He jumped on Tippett's shoulders and went up from there.
Edwards' 300th when he dragged us over the line.
Bassett.

Round 23 2009. Carlton at Etihad. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME (not really I was as far away as can be and still be in the stadium but it was still huge).

Ha ha. Just "Bassett". Norwood folklore I guess. His dummy spits are certainly part of Crows Folklore.

He wasn't on the juice. He is also the one that crashed into Biglands leg apparently. Poor VB.

The classic one was when he kicked the post. I loved it when he got so upset. He really cared.

 

[Simmo28]

My memory may be failing me but Modra kicking his 13th against Richmond at AAMI. It wasn't a pretty goal, a grubbed in goal square?, but the place went mad!

Peter Vardy in the 98 semi final against Sydney. Pouring with rain and he owned the ground.
