1967 GF - after 24 years drought says it all = Freddie Swift marking on the line - Ronaldson 2 goals from boundary line, Billy Barrot BOG.

1969 GF - well, we beat Carlton

1973 GF - Carlton yet again - Neil Balme, Lawrie Fowler, Big Nick going down like a sack of potatoes, Neil Balme

1974 GF - With all Melbourne barracking for North, this was a fantastic win - Sheedy having shot on goal, but instead of kicking, handballing over the top of the guy on the mark to Mike Green?? i think in the goal square - goal!

1980 GF - KB (say no more)

Still love the 1995 SF v Bombers.

vs Carlton Optus Oval when they had to make finals - bad luck that one lol.

Waverley v Hawthorn in the rain - very tough and entertaining game.

In recent memory the one that sticks out for me was the win over the Bulldogs at Telstra Dome in 2001. It was the first game between the clubs after the infamous Knights/Libba incident, both teams were desperate to win, it was a cliff hanger, Richo kicked a vital goal late in the game after some trademark shockers, and our ultimate victory all but ensured a long awaited finals berth.

It could have been different if the umps didn't somehow fail to notice David Bourke cannon into Nathan Browns back 15 metres in front of the Bullies goals with less than a minute to go though!

I remember thinking after that game how completely hopeless I'd be watching the Tigers play in a close Grand Final. I would be a basket case.

I know it's not a final but the last time we played Carlton at Optu$ Oval ...
It was the year Wall got the a$$ & the Geish took over & we were down about 4 goals going into the last qtr & we beat the mongrels ....
Imagine this Ben Harrison kicking the winning goal to sink the Blues & put them out of the finals

What year was it 97 or 98 ,what a game....

1980

Have to be round 20/21ish 1980 at Arden St. St. Francis bleeding profusely is rested at centre half forward and kicks a goal. Robert Wiley kicks a miracle goal from the behind post - everyone at our end went sick.

1995 Semi Final v. Effenscum.

Scotty Turner's goals. Gary O'Donnell seeing stars after Effenscum were up by 5 goals at half time in a low scoring match.
