remember when.... Carlton had money!

 

[DynamoUltra]

two teams coloured balloons were released prior to the Grand Final.

honestly did anyone go outside to see if they could see them at their place?

Ah yes! That was a great spectacle. Just imagine the amount of coloured balloons for the 2004 GF; Teal, Black, White, Maroon, Blue and Yellow... I guess that's why they don't do it anymore, who would want to pollute the Yarra with that crap

Malcolm Blight's torpedo from 60+ metres after the siren which sailed through the goals to win the match

Do people even still buy badges these days?

The Floggers were set on fire.

 

[Gabbie]

When you could take your own beer to the footy and have a smoke as well to go with it.

When you signed in your mates into your social club and they did the honours at their's.

Getting over the game and after game festivities on Sundays by hogging into hangover munchies with your friends who'd crashed at your place and watching World of Sport on 7 then the VFA on 10.

'Mitre 10' use to have a banner in the crowd competiton.

'Whats New' had the badges in the crowd competition (know of someone who won that one).
