Universal Love Down Memory Lane

[BlueBelle]

Oh wow! Thank you for the 99 prelim clip! Brought back so many memories!! I still get goosebumps when the siren goes!!

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Mario B!

Sure is....

Was a funny one, Austin utterly baked Matthews, then got injured on the Sunday recovery.

By memory Robbert Klomp, gazumped all 3.

Parkin said they included Klomp because they were expecting heavy conditions, but although it did rain a little bit the ground stayed in good condition & in hindsight it was felt they should have played the extra forward, Clarke (this was particularly reiterated after Ditchburn went down with concussion in the 1st quarter).

 

[Dramoth]

Yep, was a huge Bomba fan!

I think that Curly, after he finished playing, got into the teaching game... Worked at a high school in Thomastown. Spotted him there when I was doing some glazing work there.

Also spotted Parkin at deakin uni where he was a lecturer in sports sciences I think.

Rod Ashman used to live around the corner from an ex-gf's place in Kilsyth. Had a news agency in mooroolbark on the corner.

A family friend of the same ex lived over the road from a rather shy and retiring guy... Until you pulled his headband off.

Won a TV once.... Robbert Klomp #22

Sat next to him at the final in Brisbane in 2009. Nice man

 

[Dramoth]

Can confirm, was licensed also.

Never got to meet him unfortunately... Went in there quite a bit to see if I could get his autograph.

..... (this was particularly reiterated after Ditchburn went down with concussion in the 1st quarter).

Friggin Alan Martello, Box Hill Pioneers pride and joy, squished Ditchburn's head like a bug.

 

[BlueBelle]

Remember this day too! Soooooo good!!!

It was quite clumsy by Martello, who was on his last legs by that stage of his career.

Jon Dorotich #6, was part of the big name recruits who came to the club in 1986.

Below he was vigorous at times with Dermie and at other times with vigorous with himself.....

Do you remember him stubbing his toe into the turf at Waverley that day?

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Did his old man walk on the moon ??

Correct, very underrated Barry Armstrong for mine!

...like it was yesterday! Was it against the Saints??

 

[BlueBelle]

Speaking of trips down memory lane...would you fork out $15-$20 to go to the lecture theatre at Visy Park and watch - for example, Kouta's magnificent game against West Coast in '96 or the Prelim of '99? The volume would be on very low and Kouta would be there in person speaking about the game...kind of like a Director's cut. Probably popcorn and soft drinks as well. I'd call it 'Blue Cinema' but it sounds a little raunchy. It's on the table...will probably happen a few times throughout the year. Just gauging the interest. If it's given the green light - what other games/Carlton players would you like to see?

Count me in!!

Martello went on to become one of Harry "Big H" Beitzel's around the groundsmen.

Kicking out?

Funny how much things have changes. I remember when I was a kid we would sit in the Pratt Stand and the around the groundsmen all sat in seats at the back of the stands and gave the score updates. Funny stuff!

 

[BlueBelle]

...like it was yesterday! Was it against the Saints??

For some reason I have Richmond in my mind but could've been the Saints. Wonder what year it was so I can work out how old I was given I remember it like it was yesterday too!

 

[BlueBelle]

Kicking out?

Nah he was on the 50 lining up for goal.

 

[BlueBelle]

... can't of been many guys named Earl that played for us?

The Duke!! Came from Melbourne IIRC?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Do you remember him stubbing his toe into the turf at Waverley that day?

Yes, against St.kIlda and they goaled.....

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Nah he was on the 50 lining up for goal.

Knowing Dorra he had probably just had a hand shandy at halftime and was still on rubber legs!!

 

[BlueBelle]

This bloke deserves a run in this thread!!

Our Saviour

Despite his brilliance at the Eagles, I still think he's been a better footballer for us

 

[thylacine60]

Saw him one day kicking out - went straight into the player on the mark who kicked it back over his head. Might have been Waverley. I said (screamed) to dad we had to play him forward, his mistakes were less costly there.

 

[thylacine60]

West Aussie.

I remember it was when he was kicking out against St.Kilda, may have happened another time also.
