Best non dogs game you've ever attended.

[bulldogtragic]

'Teddys farewell game', State of Origin, 1995. Lockett, Ablett and a massive big V team. Never forget it.

2008, Hawks v Carlton. Buddy kicks 100 early on, then the momentum swings to Fev, crowd anticipation and then Roughy gets put behind the ball to stop Fev. Then he's stranded on 99. Made me so deliriously happy for a non dogs game. The atmosphere at he ground was electric.

For us a bit older
The 83 qualifying final Fitzroy v Hawthorn
Heartbreaking loss for the Roys , with a contentious deliberate and Michael Tuck goaling 50 out on the boundary. A couple of those Geelong games in 89 were unbelievable as well

Any game I went to involving Gary Ablett Sr. He was an event in himself.

Been to a couple of Pies/Blues games and not sure about the footy but the crowds are certainly entertaining!

Non dogs football games?
Sorry I don't understand the question.

Me either. Attending a game where the Dogs aren't playing is a foreign concept to me.

Don't enjoy the spectacle of football? Never gone along with friends to watch their team play? Never wanted to attend a grand final or go to a game with more than 60,000 people in attendance? They are some of the reasons you might attend a non-bulldogs game.
I used to go to North games with a neighbour who supported them when I was 14-15, pretty much to watch Carey. Not to mention as I said before, I sometimes would go and see Geelong play at the G to see Ablett.

Same as the OP: Whitten's farewell.

Special mentions: the Bombers vs Eagles game where Sheedy waved his jacket and after that Bonbers fans would wave their scarves, atmosphere was great.

Any Hawks v Geelong match.

2005 Grand Final

The Ablett Snr and Salmon show is a stoundout for mine.I also attended the ANZAC game last year with my lady and her kids.Both the game and the aura were unbelievable.

I like football, but I have no interest in seeing another team play it. Yes, I've wanted to see a GF, but only one with the Dogs in it. I'd only go to a non-Bulldog game if someone gave me a ticket, and then only if friends were going too.

2001 GF.

Also saw some crackers at the gabba in the 90s. The one where the Hawks were 45 points up at 3 qtr time, took their huddle into the shade which gave the bears a sniff that the Hawks were tiring, and the Bears came back and won.

Saw Bears (maybe lions by then) v Essendon final at the gabba. 1 point result. Can't remember which way though.

Re: Best non dogs game you've ever attended.

I went to the ANZAC day match where Zaharakis kicked the winning goal. Essendon were gone and had no right to win it. Watching the hoards of shattered Collingwood supporters leaving after the game was pretty memorable, they lost the lead so late they didn't even have time to leave before the siren sounded.

I was wedged between 7 Essendon supporting in laws to my left and 8 Collingwood supporters to my right. The Collingwood supporter (who I didn't know) turned to me just before 3/4 time and said "you're a neutral supporter, what have you thought of this umpiring today? I said "there's been a couple of dodgy ones but overall it's been pretty even", to which he replied "what would you *!*!*!*!ing know!" : D

Haha, the correct response is always “you was wobbed!”

Re: Best non dogs game you've ever attended.

The 2009 GF was a tough and brutal affair. That last qtr was intense and edge-of-the-set stuff, even for a neutral supporter. Don't think I could have handled seeing Riewoldt and Milne in particular winning premiership medals, so the end result certainly helped ease some of the pain of losing the week before. I still believe we could have given Geelong an almighty shake had we made the GF - gee we let ourselves down in the QF against the Cats 3 weeks earlier, which forced us into the much tougher PF.

I dip my lid to you Sedat. I couldnt have trusted myself going to that GF without punching the first St Kilda I saw so much as smile.
