This was my favourite ever Roys match.

I won't give you the whole low-down, but here are some excerpts :

Fitzroy v Melbourne
Melbourne had a 27 point lead at half time, scored the first goal of the third quarter, and we looked to be stuffed.

Fitzroy then turned on a blinder, to end up winning by, I think, 42 points. I believe it was a 10 goal to 3 third term.

Osborne kicked 11, 6 in the third quarter. Bringing up his tenth (his last of the third quarter) also brought up his, umm, I think, 300th career goal. He disposed of three opponents, one of them twice.

Roos and Lynch each kicked 4, I think.

A kick out on the full gave Strawbs O'Dwyer a free, he flattened Bundy Rendell after the play and the kick was reversed. Loved that.

O'Dwyer, running into an open goal, suffered Jason Hi-Fi Baldwin, who leapt onto his feet to smother. It was about Baldwin's 3rd or 4th game.

Always sits in my memory as the grousest comeback.

Hallowed be thy Roy
