    Good call. I can still see the surprised look on Chris Grant's face when he realised that Huddo was competing for the ball with him.

    That surprised face is burned on my psyche.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    My dad brings this up bi-weekly.

    This is the game that psychologically broke him; he can't watch now unless he knows we've won.

    Paul Hudson is the worst. When there was talk we were going to get Ben (the first time), I didn't want him because I though he was Paul's younger brother.

    OK you've done it now. I've never watched that last quarter since being there on the day.
    I am going to watch it and put it to rest.

    I will NEVER watch the 1997 preliminary final.

    On a lighter note, Doug Hawkins was the reason my brother started barracking for the Bulldogs. Doug bought him a pie at an East West Club Bulldogs training session.

    I watched it once in the hope enough time had passed. It hadn't.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
