1998 Preliminary Final on Fox Footy right now.
1997 is the more infamous and heartbreaking of all our preliminary final losses.
But I rate the 1998 Preliminary Final as one of the most disappointing days in our history.
I agree
I felt 98 was to be payback for us but alas when I saw Smith picking up Robran I thought what was Wallace thinking
The only good thing about the 98 PF compared to 97 was that at least it gave us time to accept the defeat. I remember going into the game as being really confident despite what had happened the previous year. I cried like a baby for about ten minutes after 97. It was different the next year. I think at halftime I knew what would happen and I prepared for it by the final siren, so I didn't feel as bad. I stayed to the end as usual.When I flicked over to Fox Footy, it was in the last quarter.
Crows a million miles ahead and huge pockets of empty seats in the crowd from where our supporters were.
I remember in 1997 after we lost, me and my family just basically sitting silent for about 5-10 minutes after the siren, too stunned and upset to say or do anything.
In 1998, we were like this pretty much half way through the 3rd quarter.
Very very disappointing day.
Sat on the top tier of the Northern Stand in 98, the players looked like ants. I’ve blanked the rest out.
the Crows have done nothing since, except cheat in 2015.

2 of the Big 4 being crap this century sure does open up some opportunities.I wonder if the footy gods decided as the 20th century was coming to an end that enough was enough when it came to our tormentors.
Adelaide - only one GF and no flags in over 20 years since that 1998 finals series
Carlton - their now fallen-from-grace CEO Jack Elliott notoriously described our club as having a "tragic history" in March 2000. They made the PF that year and have only seen finals action in 5 years since, never getting past a SF.
Essendon - long standing local rivalry, always assumed superiority and sneered at us, tried to poach our players in 1989 while we rattled tins and thanked other Vic clubs for their support. We inflicted their only loss in what would have been their "Invincibles" year (2000). They lost the GF next year and since 2004 have made the finals 6 times, losing every one of them. Brought disgrace on their once proud club and even had to return a Brownlow Medal because of the doping scandal.
And for good measure ...
GWS - gifted everything from the AFL, pinched our players (even our captain), taunted us with the "Lost Dogs Home", saved their dirtiest on-field plays for us and presumed they'd walk over us at Beerless Stadium and progress to a flag in 2016. Except they didn't. And they have stubbornly refused to win a flag since, losing by 89 points in their only attempt.
And one for Leon :
North - Only 8 finals series since their 1999 flag. No grand finals.
We can moan about other clubs from time to time but that's like playing whack-a-mole. You can't keep them all down.
I'll happily settle for just keeping Carlton, Essendon and GWS in their place for a few years longer.
Anyone been watching this? Funny stuff - it's the first one I've seen. Apparently we're in the finals!
I used to play dice footy when I was a schoolboy back in the ... errr ... a long time ago. Pleased to see it's still rolling.
Was this a widespread tradition? Did it get played a lot in subsequent decades?
Gotta say it's the first time I've seen grown men playing it but hey, these times are unprecedented.
