Also I'm pretty sure the last time we wore the green was one of our most dockery moments in history. Round 22 1997.

We needed to beat the bottom of the ladder Melbourne Demons to make the finals for the first time in our history. Of course we had an injury crisis at the time, and of course we got smashed by 10 goals. Classic.
I remember our second ever win in that jumper was against Geelong, and we kicked something like 9 goals 22 points for the entire game.

In the third quarter, Winston Abraham (I think) had just won the ball for the umpteenth time across half back... And clear as day - one of the commentators then piped-up, saying "My God... If they had a forward line, they'd be dangerous."

26 years later... still the same bloody problem. 😂😂😂

You gotta laugh right? Either that or take up drinking heavily 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As frustrating as that was I also remember I had an attitude of 'shrug... oh well... clearly we're going continue our trajectory and storm into the finals next year and every year thereafter'.

Sigh.

I want them to release some retro style beanies and scarves. Not a fan of wearing guernseys as a lass, too much squashing of boobies.

Oh God, they're now selling a long sleeve version of the 1995 wool version with the original AFL and Hard Yakka logo. $250 is a lot without knowing how it will fit but I've been waiting for this years. Just hope wifey doesn't see how much I'm spending on this.
Welp... *unzips*
