I'll go with " Premiership ours" Says Coach

The headline from the Footscray Mail before the 1980 season.

Going up to Sydney in 1985 with a mate after we'd beaten Essendon only to cop a 15 goal flogging.

Swapping Terry & Neale Daniher for Neville Fields.

85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09, 10... Break the curse!
The change from VFL to AFL. The tyranny of distance, the game becomes less tribal and parochial not to mention the politics, expansion teams, draft issues etc. Turn the clock back - give us suburban grounds even if the dunnies stank and St KIlda watered the ground. The AFL got rid of the peanut man and Western Oval as a holder of league games, it must have seemed a good idea at the time. I don't personally miss the Hyde St band but they could have morphed into something.
It's a great game I hope they don't stuff it.
Although it broke our hearts it did not break our will
