Same here, watched 2001-03 on TV and decided to make the trip down for 2004, we were sitting about 15 rows back from where Lynch threw those haymakers.The only Lions GF I went to was 2004.
I was living In Warrnambool at the time and watched the three Premierships on TV. Had a perfect system worked out too. Six Boags Strong Arm Bitters in the fridge and six beer glasses in the freezer. One beer per quater and two to celebrate winning the Flag. Shouldn’t have broken tradition.
I agree with DERRINALPHIL Browny and Lynch should never have played. Shaun Hart copping a serious injury in the prelim was a massive blow as well, not to mention the scheduling and the venue allocation.
