Memory Lane... Crows vs Eagles

[rayven]

Has Dean kemp been awarded compo yet from the Ricciuto hit ( and others) that he's seeking from the AFL?

 

[Curlza]

Unfortunately for wce i think this week you will smash us we just dont have the side to beat they way Adelaide is playing footy at the moment
In saying that though i would love to see the 2 sides go at it in the finals

Took Modra 2 years to recover ( Mentally ) from that Worsfold hit.......didn't find his mojo again until a game at Kardinia.

Mods didn't even get a free kick for that. The days where you could smash a bloke from front on in a marking contest. Bad days.

How many weeks for Worsfold if that happened now?

 

[rayven]

How many weeks for Worsfold if that happened now?

3 if your a Collingwood player called Wellingham, about 6 0r 7 if your Byron Pickett from Port Adelaide. Hazard a guess Taylor Walker would get around 6.

10 cause its wce

I have vague memories of having to watch a match on delayed telecast coming from Perth. When 7 thought the news was more important than footy

 

[relapse]

I remember standing at the members bar at half time in prelim in 06 talking to my brother about getting to melbourne for the GF next week. Still gets to me Heartbreaking loss i would prefer to forget.

I know what you're saying, my mate and I had gold tix and at half time we started to talk and dream about "next week". 60 minutes later I was walking out of the ground feeling like a family member died and knowing in my heart that our premiership window was gone.

Remember a great win over the Eagles in Round 22 1998, going into the finals. Effectively meant we got a double chance. Left us in a great mood, full of confidence going into the next week. Mods kicked 4 goals, Roo 3 Brownlow votes, Linden Stevens made his debut plucked from Sturt's reserves. Then we got smoked by Melbourne. Mods and Linden Stevens never played again. A week is a long time in footy.

And Scott Cummings kicking 14 goals against us in 2000

I think the 1997 Qualifying Final win against them is a very underrated victory in our history. It was our first finals match under Blight - in fact our first finals match for four years. That was an important win mentally in the scheme of the back to back flags.

Shitty day for footy too

remember Smarty's screamer on Sumich in 91

Also first home final at Football Park

I was there

We were giving Sumich shit about eating too many Hungry Jacks burgers -

I was 13 and I thought it was hilarious

You bumped an Eagles memories thread?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

But here are a few words to describe my flashbacks.

****ing Embly!...no matter which game.
****ing drug-fuelled Cousins!
****ing pre-liminary finals.

I hope you're happy now you sadistic %^*%$#$%^&^%$#

 

[jo172]

That ****ing centre bounce in the 2006 PF that went straight to Cousins and was never called back.

Still bitter.

Memories about Crows/WC?

The worst day at the football I have ever experienced.

Yep, agree.

At the end if the game a little kid was sitting next to me started crying. I said to my mate, quick lets go as I just knew if I hung around any longer, I was going to start crying as well.

Only time I've felt totally emotional after a loss. Normally it's anger, players, umpire, coach but not that game.

Mate, I was sobbing after the siren. The siren went, I let out a massive "THIS IS BULLSHIT!" and burst into tears.

Mind you I am a) a female, and b) was 13 years old.

But even at 13, I knew how precious a chance like that was, and how we threw it away. 2006 will remain "The one that got away".

2005, I've just blocked from my memory. I literally have no recollection of it.
