The old blokes can really get riled quite easily, it's quite funny

When be beat Collingwood last year the bloke probably in his 70's was very angry at the umpires for god knows what reason and had a red face for literally the last 3 quarters using the word umpires every 2 minutes in amongst all his cursing, guess he needed something to blame, as if beating Collingwood wasn't enough to make me smile, was a funny night, i couldn't stop laughing

You legend i only hope i can get into an arguement or fight like that, would be one to tell the grandkids.

I like the story my dad told me when he went to the 93 granny he was standing right up the back of the ponsford on the top level and everytime Essendon kicked a goal him and his mates would jump up and down purposly spilling grog all over the Carlton supporters in front of them.

Here's a story you guys. It doesn't involve assault on opposition supporters....but it's a brilliant story and a momment i'll never forget.

Have a listen:

I've been going to the footy since i was about three or four. I've probably seen about 200+ football matches live, including a few Grand Final's and that...

But the best story and one that i'll never forget, was James Hird's goal against Collingwood (Anzac Day 2004) after the siren for half-time. I will remember that for the rest of my life.

I was sitting in my ussual seat on the flank/wing when Hird took a mark in the pocket. I looked up to see how long the quarter had been going for...It read something like 29-30mins as i thought it would. Next thing, the siren goes..I look back down at the play (as a big roar goes around the ground) as Hird takes one of those cool marks over two to three Collingwood players, that he makes look so easy of course.

As Hird was calculating his run up, i started to get shivers down my spine, i just knew he would slot it. And guess what, he did......Not only did he slot it, he absoloutely polished it. Pure class, with bend like a David Beckham free-kick, almost impossibly executed.

I will never forget that 2-3 minutes in my life.

that was '05 wasn't it

 

[Jasiano]

I originally had 05 down but my memory told me it was the year he won the medal, which was 2004 - so i changed it.

But either way...I'll never forget that goal. And never forget some of the games i've seen Hird play on Anzac Day.

My dad was so bitter after losing a flag to the hawks he poured his grog all over there cheersquad. My mum was worried he was gunna get bashed, God knows how he didnt. So many stories for him.

Back in 91, our first game of the year against the Tigers at the G on a wet and miserable Saturday afternoon. Bomber Thompson kicked the winner from a dubious free kick after the siren (to get us home by 4 points after being behind all day) and every one of them were absolutely livid.

As we walked back through the city to find a bus to catch, we were cornered by a group of disgruntled Tiger supporters. Being barely 15 years old, we panicked and thought we were going to get the living crap beatn out of us.....UNTIL, a carload of Bomber men pulled over and got out of a 4WD.
I recall one of them having a massive long beard like a member of ZZ Top approach us and asked if we were in some kind of trouble (obviously working out the predicament we were in).
Never seen a group of yellow bellies walk away so quickly when the odds suddenly swung away from them.

1979-Windy Hill.

Members end,behind the goals. Me and a few kids were having a kick in front of the old turnstile gates.The ground was packed as Carlton had come to WH to play us. One particular Essendon supporter at the back of the crowd was standing on a crate or something and his booming voice could be heard for miles around as he spent an entire qrt abusing Carlton's Val Perovic.

His main call was said over and over again to poor Val who was at Full Back for the blues,along the lines of "Hey Perovic!,how does it feel to be a wog?"

To Val's credit,he didn't even flinch or turn around even though he most certainly would have heard this moron abusing him.

Anyway,this went on and on to the end of the qtr and as soon as the siren went I watched a Carlton bloke walk over to this bloke and tap him on the shoulder and point to a spot right over where us kids were playing near the members stand. They agreed it was on and wandered over next to the wall and started to punch the living daylights put of each other. After 3 or 4 mins of some pretty heavy fighting,they stopped..both stuffed. Shook hands and wandered back to their spots,with the Essendon guy shutting up about Val.

DIdn't he have a shot and they said he wasn't over the mark properly and he had missed it so they gave it to him again and he slotted it. I remember me Collingwood mate sitting next to me, he wasn't to happy.

Here here. Fighting at the football is for dills unless unavoidable. So if it's not unavoidable then best to stay home and not spoil the football for the other 99.9 % of the public that aren't dills.
