I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
As a youngin' one of my favourite days was the clash against Geelong at Whitten Oval 1982 with Simon Beasley kicking 12 that day, was just a brilliant day standing on a flank down the Barkly street end.
Brad Murphy debuted against Port in Darwin I'm pretty sure. Got heaps of touches, kicked about 3 goals and I was pretty excited we had unearthed a gem. That didn't turn out so well.
I'm pretty sure the Adelaide game only featured Morris as a debutant, and a very young Ryan Griffen.
I should leave it alone but you're not right
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Have to agree with always right! I still remember my excitement growing with each quarter, to the point that after the game I thought I should ask the A f l for a refund cos I wasn't sitting in my seat much - too busy jumping up and down and screaming happily. This was also a sweet win because hubby (a Collingwood supporter) who was also at the game but not sitting with me, cruised past at half time, still confident they would win.....mouthing off a little! Boy was I smug!!!!
Beating the Bombres to ensure they didn't go through 2000 undefeated was pure joy. The feeling when Chris Grant slotted the goal to put us in front with a minute or so to go is as close as I've got to the exhilaration that other lucky fans must experience when they win a flag.
Dogs fans who didn't know each other hugged and whooped. And could it have happened against a more loathed opponent?

A personal favourite of mine was the Round 21 game v Geelong at Etihad.
Made the trip over from Adelaide and was staying a mates place (who had returned to Adelaide for the weekend) and went along to the game solo. It was a great game, a few breakout performances and really filled me with hope for the impending finals campaign.
The last game we played at Arden street. We won by a lazy 63 points and Chops Rickman kicked 7 goals.
