Universal Love Down Memory Lane

Went real well with the ladies I heard!!

So did Brad Pearce.
I heard he was unstoppable after the '95 GF.

I remember a 3rd quarter against Hawthorn in '82 at Princes Park. 8 goals in the first 11 minutes of the quarter put the game to bed (Ashman got 3 of them). Of course later in the year we followed this up with an 11 goal 3rd quarter against the Hawks in the QF (Harmes kicked 4 of them, including an absolute gem from the right hand forward pocket at the Punt Rd end of the MCG).

I fondly remember the Hawks game at PP in 95 after we had lost our only 2 games for the year badly in successive weeks.

Smashed them from the first bounce, think we had 8 or 9 on the board in the first quarter and The Cranium had 3 or 4 of them, won by 102 points that day.

Why didn't Frosty Miller ever get a VFL gig? Did he try out with anyone?

That VFA GF is still a sealed document.

He played with us in the '60s. I think he kicked 6 on debut for us. He was relatively slow though & didn't cement a spot in the team.

95 was a good year... Got back from meeting my deadbeat dad in the UK and got told by my mum that me and the step father were heading to Subi thanks to her winning a couple of tickets to the wet toast vs Carlton game. Was a bloody cracker up on the old grass section with rabid WCE supports all round. 1 point win over them at the old house of pain was special.

Great game, poor old Bluey McKenna would have to take our word for it though, Big Earl got him with one of the biggest and fairest hits I have ever seen.

Will never forget his performance against Collingwood in his first game for us, 3 goals BOG and also his game against the Crows at PP when he kicked 7 goals straight.

Earl literally knocked the snot out of him that day.

6 weeker.

I remember Kenny Hunter curling one through in that 3rd quarter blitz at PP!!

 

[Blues in 3 yrs.]

The second game vs. Essenscum in 97'/98' when Harry had to retire for Porter to get elevated to play. Porter killed it and ended up winning by 72 points

Also gotta say for all those who think the Milburn hit on SOS was big it was nothing compared to this! I was at PP this day and thought the place was gonna explode. Still PP's most infamous day for mine!

Was the one when Porter tapped to Bradley from the centre bounce for a goal??

 

[BlueBelle]

How about Kouta's goal at Waverley vs Saints. Started in the middle, received the tap and went bang!!! Freaken awesome!!!

I was there also, a big blue started after Jezza went down and Wow Jones had his jumper ripped off. In fact I reckon I may even be in that picture.

The crowd went feral.

We used to sit in the Pratt Stand and it was right in front of us. Ugly scenes followed including my dear Mum standing up and calling him an animal!

Also how much has the footy attitude changed, just watched the You Tube clip of it. Peter Landy states 'it was a very solid hit but I am sure it was accidental!!'

If that happened today it would be a 10 weeker!!

I reckon Magro was about 3 feet off the ground when he hit him.
We did come from behind to win that day if I recall correctly.

Woman should have banned from all games with language like that. Shame...
