What an Awesome game. Should of won grr Bloody bastards. Umpires against us again vs this lot lol But one of the better games i been to.

Thoughts on the game overall if you remember it.

footy was so much tougher then, weird to see.

don't remember that particular match, i was only 4 but I definately recognise all the player's names.

awesome stuff

Hrmm.

What I remember is nearly all that commentry from the Tiger Tale video which I've worn out over the years.

I was about 6 or 7 at the time and I remember listening to it on the radio in the front room of my house. I was upset that it was a draw because back then I didn't like Essendon (some things dont change).

It was obviously on TV but could have been on delay? That's probably why I listened to it on the radio and then watched it on telly with the volume down. Something like that.

I can still get all the names right from that clip, but for Neill I thought it was Dundas. Back then, my favourite player was Knighter but I also liked Naish. Daffy helped me learn how to kick the footy around my body and subsequently not learn to kick the ball 'straight'. Dad called me the "happy hooker" during this period.

I remember the Richmond fans all singing the song without the music, and my flat mate cracking the shits over this. It was a draw you dont sing the song, we were just too happy not to sing this

They're in front the tige's.


They're my memories of that game.

Funnily enough, I have fonder memories of another game vs the Bombers a little later in that year

Don't have much recollection of this one at all.

Remember being so angry when Gale got crunched and broke his collar bone. Campbo and Daff were the quick kick out of the pack gurus. Was praised by all back then for moving the ball forward quickly. They not so happy when you do that these days - my how footy has changed.

I remember it as one of the best games I've ever attended. The Maxfield goal is still one of my all-time favourite pieces of commentary. I remember the Doolan free (dodgy in the back call - think the Schneider free from last week and you get the idea) on the wing that enabled the ball to get to Essendon's forward line where I think Ryan O'Connor (who was soon to become a Coburg great) got an easy one over the back for the goal that drew the match. It was a good effort - no Richo and they had Hird and Wanganeen who you weren't allowed to touch. That year was so exciting - there were signs in '94 when we had a few close wins and losses and then '95 exploded. I was also in Sydney when we went top of the ladder but lost Richo and Wigney who had surprised a lot of people.

My memories are that the Umps were bloody pathetic and golden boy Tird was able to play on from that mark against Prescott and it cost us the goal. He should have been made to go back over the mark. Robbed!!!

that piece commentry by bruce is SPECIAL,, the old hair on the back of the kneck stands up everytimr stuie kicks that goal and big jurica man he was awesome that night

 

[camsmith]

haha great game. Was sitting up in the heavens in the Southern Stand... bout the only time I have sat up there.

But I love the commentary, have watched that Tigers Tale a thousand times and love that "Go and kick the goal Stuey!" commentary!

 

[smasha]

I was in the Richmond cheersquad area with one of those green garbage bags over me to keep me dry.


Great times in '95.

I still think watching the TV replay,that Bruce McAvaney call on Maxfield is one of the greatest calls ever by a sports commentator.

Get chills down the spine and McAvaney captured the moment beautifully.

Still remember the Essendon arrogance in the stands.

They were chanting 20 mins before the game expecting an Essendon 10 goal win.

We fought like Tigers that night.

A win for the Allies.

Anyway ,what about todays game?

My best memory is the first time we beat em in ten years in '95 at Princess Park.

Met Dale Weightman in the outer that day too.

Had a few too many beers and went crazy though.

I remember Weightman saying the crowd was only 17k but it sounded like 60k.

Oh the other moment was Richo kicking that goal and doing the double fist pump and the huuuge roar of the Richmond faithful.

Sitting up the top deck of the old Ponsford stand and there was a bloke getting quite drunk drinking his bottle of creaming soda.

Just kept drawing more and more attention to himself until he he saw it necessary to bolt from security. He disappeared down the steps and then thump, he must have been tackled - really hard. Couldnt see what happened but you could hear, and feel it. **** they must have crunched him hard.

One less bomber piece of riff raff to put up with for the game.

lol At the Tiger Tale video, which I have also watched at least 50 times.
Also lol at the Tigers, who would be the only club in history to have a highlights video for finishing 9th.

[JAKLAUGHING]

....aaahhh yes i was there too...1995 was a 'special' (thanks bruce) year...can remember only the crowd screaming all match...gales busted collarbone...james hird absolutely unstoppable everything he touched turned to magic he was on fire that night at one stage i thought he had chain passed the ball to himself the lenght of the 'g'...he was everywhere...no wonder he got three brownlow votes that night...jurica in the goal square trying to kick a bouncing contrary unforgiving uncooperative sherrin through for a goal and an unassailable lead...only to score a point...with only heart stopping seconds left in the match the tigers run the ball out of their backline...we've won!!!...only to see that the bombers had been paid a free kick?!?!?...why?!?!?!...and they score a goal...siren goes...and then the quiet the numbness of not winning and the huge crowd leaves quietly...like a funeral...

 

[camsmith]

Classic video.
