Toast Classic Games

[Mr Budda Bing]

G'day fellas and shelias

Name a Game are having their famous $10 a game next week and my brother is a huge North supporter and his birthday is very soon and I'm willing to invest about $200 bucks = 20 games for him.

As you would presume my knowledge on North is not good and I don't know games he would like, I've been reading old threads from Mastermind (Top stuff and was wondering if people could pile a list of abut 20 games that a true North Melbourne supporter would love.

Thanks,

Mr Budda Bing

North v Ess, 1993.

Lots of great games in 93. Collingwood game at vic park where we won by 82 pts was awesome - knew it was really the start of something great that day. Also matches v Carlton and footscray that year well worth watching - and of course the essendon game already mentioned. Love Peter Mckennas commentary in that match!

Ok, we lost but amazing game and the pain from that day is important context for 96.

1998 Pre Season Grand Final North v St Kilda at Waverley

The night 'Big Bad Barry' tried to act the enforcer with Carey...who just laughed in his face and kept marking the ball.

 

[The Chiefton]

Archer's 250th/Corey Jones winning goal. Can't remember what round or year, possibly 2004?

It's certainly some kind of practice/NAB match.

I was at that game but can't quite recall the Richo fly. Do yah blame me? Anyways my Richmond supporting bro believes it was that praccy game.

Other things to note from that match.

• Greg Miller did my membership renewal that day.

• A Richmond supporter standing behind those goals that Richo flew high was half cut but good value.

• Scott Turner found him funny as he made fun of Warren Campbell's "Pretty Boy" Tatt.

• He also tried stirring the Duck saying "Wayne, Wayne, don't play hard to get Wayne.

• Richmond won the match. Dangles wasn't happy.

Yeah I know, my memories are idiotic. :stern look

Last night's game and last week were some good match's. Was looking for a thread on the main board and this one came up, why not stop by.

Roos vs Eagles top open season 1998 was a beauty. Simpson kicked the winning goal ironically. The game at Football Park against the Crows another cracker. Going back to the initial match and Roos ending the Eagles finals and season campaign in 1997 coming back from 32 down a monster performance as was Carey's 7 against us the week before.

against the Lions at the G in 1999, a nother North classic. Many to name, always enjoyed the Northerner 's.
