Blast from the past.
I thought it would be interesting finding some old clips from the past to get the footy juices flowing.
I'll start with this one.
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

It was awesome.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

This was a brilliant game. Collingwood had won something like ten in a row, and along we came to upset them. Pies were on top of the ladder and won the premiership that year. I was sitting in the pocket with my mate where Koly took on Wright and it was pure ecstasy watching him run around and kick a goal.
It was also the year after the attempted takeover by Fitzroy, and we only just missed the finals.

Re: Blast from the past.
I reckon that this is the best team I have seen. Obviously we blow them away like they are a bit of toilet paper stuck to our shoe.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Blast from the past.
And same time and place just a year before. There's a bit of a contrast!

The comment on Youtube:
At Western (now Whitten) Oval Essendon 11.18 (84) went down to their bogie side Footscray 18.17 (125) watched on by a crowd of 33,677 on Saturday April 27.
I can remember being packed in like a sardine.

It was impossible to move. There were people hanging off the advertising hoardings at the Geelong rd end-people just kept pouring in.

Sadly that gave me about 1000 reasons why I don’t like Bruce “ captain obvious” Macavaney.
Saints two goals down kick the next two and his response was they needed them !
Bring back the biff

"that's one!" Steve Wallis yells into the face of a semi comatose Brett Heady at 1.01.
