Club History Remember when?

[Howard Moon]

Who remembers the Scarf/Seat rule?

Getting in early, draping a scarf or 2 over 5-10 great seats then heading to the pub for a few hours, come back and seats would still be there untouched and the bay completely full of people.

Worst rule! Entire front row always gone. How can you show support of you can't bang wildly on the boards?

 

[Howard Moon]

I remember collecting cans all game from under the wooden bench seats at Waverley, like some South Australian peasant.

Must have been some school collection thing.

Alcoa cash a can Sunday morning. Hot tip was to crush the cans with a rock inside for bonus weight

I remember as a kid going to Kardinia Park once and being amazed at how little the kids got for an enormous bag of cans. 5c per can gave the kids a much better hourly rate over here.

I remember when I threw an apple core at voice of the g James sherry

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I remember when I threw an apple core at voice of the g James sherry

I remember one game at Etihad where Essendon were flogging the Saints and he didn't look happy at HT haha lols

 

[Howard Moon]

Did anyone not have a collection of pass out colours saved for the time you needed free entry?

 

[Pweter]

Remember when someone was shirtfronted and in all sorts of trouble and the crowd would say it was a good bump and the recipient should've had better awareness and protected himself better.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Sculling UDL cans in the Waverley car park as a 15yo, getting nice and sloshed off about four of them, heading up to sit under the scoreboard in Bay 69 (LOLZ), inter-school punch-ups after halftime if it was a shit game.

Jeez I was a classy kid.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Blokes setting up a BBQ near the street fence at Waverley and selling snags to locals walking home. Being over the moon when dad said I could have one.

 

[mike14]

Crowding on the train after an afternoon game at the 'G' and then stopping at Vic Park so an extra 10k ferals from the Pies game could barge their way into the urine smelling carriage

 

[mike14]

Remember sneaking a look over the blokes shoulder in front to try and find out who d vs f was on the scoreboard? f is coming back!!

I actually do look back on this fondly. Made buying a record worthwhile.
I also remember scoffing because the price for the record went up to $5 during the finals one year and so never bought a record again...

I'd watch the twos and see number 57 do something good, I'd ask the old lady ahead with the record who was that?

Next minute she's offering me a stras and sauce sandwich

I remember when we used to be good.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

As well as D v F and A v E, the race results used to be in the screen too. Can fit plenty of a tuff when you don’t need to fit the video on.

That old Waverly board hummed so loud over the mediocre crowds

All those light bulbs must have made the ozone layer gape

 

[Dave]

When they still sold beer in steel cans. Dad would
drink two as soon as they got there so mum could stand on them to see.

 

[DERO]

Remember when old mate used to click your plastic member card with the punch?

By round 14 you could saw through wood with that thing

Or fashion it into a weapon.

 

[DERO]

I remember Windy Hill and the scarcity of amenities if you know what I mean.

I lived out that way in its last few years. Did you go to the last game there? Everyone turning into a feral looter at the siren was hilarious. We took home a slab of turf about a foot long and 3 inches wide and deep and stored it in the fridge. I think mum must have thrown it out one day because it mysteriously disappeared.

Maybe she had a health kick and wanted waverly grass shots

More likely a worm or two emerged and she freaked out!

 

[Cold Sober]

Leaving games before final siren, I'd ask old man why, [dad barracked for collingwood]
Coz Collingwood can't win from here and I can't afford to fix the car length scratch marks on the car.

Yeah was there. That was a mental day.

It really was a shithole of a stadium, but jeez it was cool having AFL footy right there.

 

[Howard Moon]

You could sit on the fence and only see top half of the players on the other side, seemed to have a slope as big as lords

Fishing sinkers were better, until dad found out. And yeah my parents made us grab cans after the game for Alcoa cash for cans.
