I remember thinking to myself that there wasn't going to be enough coppers at Arden Street to get the umpires out alive.
I love the commentary ol Lou ," Dempsey had fourteen goes at that".Round 3, 1979.
Collingwood hold a 10 point lead at 3/4 time before North storm home and kick 9-5 to 3-3 to get up by 28 points.
Blight kicks 7.

We had some handy types missing too. Greig, Glendinning, Briedas, Henshaw, Tanner, Crosswell.Bloody good team on the park that day.
The Bulldogs game last year (2018) and the Essendon final match this for WTFness
Love reliving the glory days by viewing replays of these games away from the finals. The all nighter which followed this, and many other Friday night wins, was a night for the ages (and I remember very little of THAT).Round 14 1996.
North hosts Carlton at the MCG on a Friday night in the long awaited return match since the Blues belted North in the 95 Prelim on the way to becoming arguably the best premiership side of the modern era.
Both sides have fallen to ladder leaders Sydney over the previous fortnight and have a 10-3 win/loss scoreline when they meet.
Pagan plays funny buggers all over the place, with Duck starting at CHB, as the highly touted Eric Lissenden debuts for North in the key forward post, and Glenn Archer also starts forward.
Corey McKernan drags down 10 marks and has 20 hitouts to give Justin Madden a hiding in the ruck (7 hit outs)
Carlton supporters haven't forgotten about Wayne Schwass knocking Peter Dean out cold in the 95 prelim and boo every one of his 33 disposals on the way to a BOG performance, with North extracting revenge by 55 points.
That was a very sweet win... I remember it (the euphoria) very well!Round 14 1996.

Some say our 1979 team was the best list ever to be assembled in VFL/AFL history. Not hard to see why. 4 current day or future Brownlow medallists in Dempsey, Greig, Blight and Glendinning. A 4 time Magarey medallist in Ebert, a Sandover medallist in Melrose (what an underrated and unlucky player he was) 3 other NMFC Team of the Century players in Schimmelbusch, Dench and Crosswell, 2 Team of the Century players from other teams in Murphy and Alves, making a total of 9 Team of the Century players. Unbelievabe stat. Finished a clear second on the ladder before the filth knocked us off in the Prelim.Bloody good team on the park that day.
Barrassi stated that the 1978 side was his best.Some say our 1979 team was the best list ever to be assembled in VFL/AFL history.
I have always thought so. Glendinning's first year after standing out of football in 1977. Snake Baker was set for a 100 goal year afterBarrassi stated that the 1978 side was his best.
Schimma has said that he thinks we were the best side in 76 and 78 but not in 75 or 77.Barrassi stated that the 1978 side was his best.
Injuries hurt us late in 79. Keith broke his arm late and got rushed back and Dempsey copped a nasty eye injury in the finals.Some say our 1979 team was the best list ever to be assembled in VFL/AFL history.

That great Rhodes scholar from Carltank poked Dempsey in the eye in a ruck contest at Waverley.Injuries hurt us late in 79. Keith broke his arm late and got rushed back and Dempsey copped a nasty eye injury in the finals.

I have always thought so. Glendinning's first year after standing out of football in 1977. Snake Baker was set for a 100 goal year after
his heroics in the 77 grannies. Then Denchy went down with a knee against Hawthorn at Waverley in I think the first game and we ended up
losing to Hawthorn by 3 goals after Crackers got himself rubbed out in the second semi. As a side note I won't watch anything with Basil Simpless
commentating because of his pathetic lack of professionalism with names other than West Australians. However caught a bit of R22 1987 Nth v Car
where we had a Ross Hepburn playing for us and Jimmy Krakouer was his twin brother Phil too many times. If the commentators were race callers they
would have been sacked years ago.
