Favourite North Games?

[winalotroos]

2014 EF V ESS (better than the flags, for mine). I ****ing loved that game.

1993 v Essendon, just ridic.
1993 v Coll at Vic Park.
1993 v WCE in Perth.

2nd half of 2nd Quarter onwards 1996 GF. Literally Paul Kelly misses that goal until Ian Fairlie's goal is as close to Heaven as there is.

Yep all three, this was when I thought we could be a power over the next years,
I was at the Collingwood game one of the best days of my life, mind you after the game I was lucky to get out alive there were fights everywhere and I got a parking fine and could careless.

Two games I had on VHS was both North prelims over Brisbane in 96 and 99. I liked them. They were good Brisbane teams and you won them both easily.

Has to be 1993 at Victoria Park.

1st v 2nd after the hiding we got in the pre-season in Adelaide. Late in the last quarter the North Melbourne chant rings out as the Pies fans stream out and we have an 80+ lead. The season unwinds in the second half of that year, but a premiership team is being formed.

Dad and I had to stand in the race that day, all good until some old Collingwood Granny decided to piss on my dad. I pissed myself laughing, dad not so much.

1991 vs WCE was a great win they were a very good team.

1990 vs Richmond Horse kicked 12

1993 vs Essendon, Hawthorn, Collingwood and just for the Duck exhibition Footscray at Whitten oval

1994-Cats Prelim was the best game of football I have seen.

Seen some great ones, including flags, Carey's 12 goals against the Dees at the
G, but 2014 Elimination Final takes the cake. Frank the tank, come from behind, every player played out of their skin, but most memorable for me was Lindsay Thomas' passion, looking straight at us in the crowd beating his chest and kissing the jumper. Was a special night and always great to keep Essendon's losing finals streak intact.

Exactly how did a Granny manage to piss on your dad? The image I have in my head could lead to early-onset (maybe, not so early) dementia.

We won that first game against Adelaide in 1998. Blew a 5 goal first quarter lead but the umps paid a free to us after Rehn was pinged for deliberate out of bounds in the pocket.

The Brisbane game in round 14 of 1999 was a forgotten classic. We came from 5 goals down at half time and Stevo kicked the winning goal with 20 seconds to play. Same with the Port game of the same year (not the final), another shootout that most people forget.

The Melbourne game in 2000 after Ron Casey died always sticks in my mind because of how weird it was. We kicked 11.7.73 to 2.3.15 in the second quarter, but conceded 3.12.30 to 12.15.87 in the other 3 quarters, winning by 1 point.

That 99 game vs Brisbane was a goody. I remember seeing the highlights on AFL Saturday.

Carey got 11. Sorry but my footy o.c.d has to correct it.

Did he?,,,,,I probably lost count after the 10th beer in the corporate box hahahaha!

Yeah the game in 1996

 

[The Dingrel]

Yeah the game in 1996

recall it not being televised thanks to the Atlanta olympics..... felt sorry for Clarko playing in that game just crossed over to the Dees. Seem to recall a few other talls doing some damage too, McKernan and Mark Stevens maybe.

Yep I looked up the stats. Mckernan kicked 5 and Bell got 4. You guys were an offensive juggernaut in the 90's.

 

[Dinkers]

RD 1 2026 Vs Poort, not that they're a decent side, just was an important win, wish we'd kicked straighter as the 33 points didn't do the result justice.

You obviously stopped watching with 7 minutes to go. Power kicked 6 straight, won by 3 points.

Lo siento mi amigo.

She literally lifted her leg and placed in the wire and went for it.

Never been so disgusted in my life. Welll I have actually, my little brother wanted to put the scarf out of the window after a loss. I wasn't having it. We don't celebrate losses.

 

[DuckYeah]

It was a loss but we played Hawthorn at the G in 2001, I was in year 11. I remember it being a warm sunny day, I remember getting quite smashed. I was with my older Hawthorn supporting brother but it didn’t really matter, we were coming off a flag the 2 years before.

Even though it was a loss, it was my first time getting into the strippers and I will never forget that night. Safe to say the old lady wasnt too thrilled and I missed class the next day. But boy oh boy were the stories I was telling in morning physics class 2 days later was the best.

Being a sheltered farmer kid. It was something else that day.

Did you guys go b2b? ****. I thought Essendon won the flag in 2000. I must have been still hung over from NYE 1999.

1. 1975 GF was 13years old there with my Dad
