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.
- I'm a visionary - Only here to confirm my biases -
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.
Didn't help when Fox footy in its first incarnation decided to show a few lowlights !
