That one hand pick up and goal late in the '82 gf, wrap up the chooks
Carpet shoulders at his finest.

Talking about one handed pick ups, the one by a 19 year old kid in the 1979 GF was pretty good. My favourite player from that 1979-82 era. Could roost the ball, take marks, **** he was good.
Match winning move by Jezza when the game was getting away from us - he took himself out of the centre and threw Harmes in and as they say the rest, like Collingwood, was history.

Round 22 1980 at Princes Park we were leading Fitzroy at 3/4 time by more than 8 goals, in good recent form and aiming to finish on top of the ladder as the tigers were having a bad day v's South Melb at Lakeside oval on the same day. But our season began to collapse in the last quarter when the royboys started piling on the goals and we just hung on to win by 4 points.
We ended up missing top spot to the Cats by percentage only and then bombed out in straight sets in the finals. I think we copped injuries during the 3rd quarter in the round 22 game.

A very good demonstration of how good that team was, given the poor preparation they had throughout much of the season. Poor old Perc had no idea.

that's what we did - like a hostile corporate takeover - it was our version of buying smaller companies and shutting them down.....
Fortunately Hawthorn missed the finals 2 seasons in a row and Parkin became available.
I understand the club had previously tried to get Parkin, without success. Thank goodness the Hawks fell away for a couple of years or we would never have nabbed him.

wasn't aware of that
Did this happen when Big Nick suddenly quit before the '76 season began and the club then settled for assistant Ian Thorogood?
My memory is a bit hazy, but I seem to have a vague recall that they had a bash at him after Jezza resigned, but he was still contracted to the Hawks, so knocked back our offer.

- there are no other teams worthy
No Sheldon, Perovic or McConville. FMD, Hang your bloody head in shame.
BTW, Brisbane Lions is only team I seen come close to this lot as a majestic football team to watch all over the field
I will never expect to see a team as good due to the salary caps and spread out of talent pool across many more clubs than 12 at the time. But if I see one 70% as good I will be bloody excited.
January is the quietest month for footy news so time to revive this thread.

I reckon that is actually quite formal for Jezza! How good a player was the worm!
Jezza looks good for someone who will be turning 72 this year & this would have to be the biggest smile I have ever seen on Big Nick's face.coz I can - the 5 best
