Name A Game (Off Season Trivia Game)

[Drunken Bum]

First one. I was in the Huggins stand that day too. I thought me and my two mates were the only Footscray supporters in the whole stand!

Saints at Moorabbin ? Raccoon williams kicked a goal on the siren
I was sitting in the stand and lucky to get out alive

Early '80's yeah? i was listening to that game on the radio in the little nsw country town i grew up in, didn't get too many Footscray games back then, most of the time had to listen to other games and wait for the around the grounds score updates, the old man had given us away and found something else to do, i even remember him telling me to turn it off the games over but being a kid and believing anything could happen i stuck fat, shit we could've been 150 down and i would've stuck it out, who knew how long it would be before got to hear a Dogs game live again. Tried to find dad to tell him we were coming back at some point but couldn't, to be fair i didn't stray further than listening distance in the hunt for him though, i remember it as being deep in the last quarter but may be wrong, losing my mind when they crossed to a race somewhere as was wont to happen at the most inopportune times, god that used to kill me.
The old man couldn't believe it when i told him we won, think i told half the town we won actually was running around screaming we won we won.
It was the greatest come back of all time in my mind, i may have built it up a touch more in my mind over the years lol but i remember that north essendon huge comeback happening and i was like ppft that's got nothing on this doggies comeback against the aints back in the day

Okydokes, on short notice under BT's authority:

This was a famous victory against an eventual premier, with our captain playing one of the greatest individual games ever - 24 possessions, 13 contested, 100% efficiency, 8 goals.

Collingwood, last round, 2010, had to win by more than 23 points to leapfrog into 3rd place?

[LostDoggy]

Nope, sorry TD. Earlier than that.

I really enjoyed reading that, and the way you put it down. Thanks for posting.

Very good WD54. Johnno was unbelievable that day - good as it gets.

Your go...

We blew away the reigning premier, keeping them goalless to half time to eventually win by 88 points. Their star forward was held goalless for the first time in a long time.

The only time in my footballing consciousness that I believed we were actually the best team in the AFL.

Round 14 but you got it.

What a glorious night at the football that was.

Loved that half time scoreboard.

In one of the upsets of the year, we beat an eventual grandfinalist by 43 points at the MCG, Chris Grant kicking 6. The margin at half time was the same after stunning them with a 7.3 first quarter.

2006 round 20-ish against West Coast. Brian Harris playing the role of police officer in chasing down Daniel Chick to stop him from goaling on HT was incredible.

close round 19, 2005

Okay, this game had an exceptional statistical anomaly, a debutant who was traded by us twice, and we lost.
