Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

That was a great day as well. Follow the delivery to Koly from the backline and the 60metre pass from Leon Cameron.

Yes, i was sitting just about behind Koly when he nailed that one. To take on the speed demon Wright, bounce twice with him on his tail and goal was unbelievable. Such an enigmatic player, Kolyniuk.

1990 was one of my favourite years. No we didn't make the finals but because we had survived the takeover the previous summer, going to each game was a treat.

Loved when Fossie's knee 'accidentally' collected Banks in a marking contest and Peter McKenna said 'you'd enjoy those tactics Don (Scott)'. Scott and McKenna were fun to listen to doing the Army Reserve cup in the '80's.

And who was on the oval at the end with Terry Wheeler? Dr Jake Landsberger who is still at the club 27 years later and he still looks the same!

Our biggest ever home and away crowd against the pies is round 9, 2006 where 67,920 watched on. Surely we can beat that in round 1???

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

One thing I've gotten from this YouTube clip over the years is the kid jumping up and down in the crowd at the 14:15 mark as Royal's hugging Beasley. I remember thinking "why is that Collingwood supporter celebrating?!"

Then his duffle coat opens slightly and you can see the "CFC" Carlton monogram on his chest. It was navy and white scarf - not black and white..! The kid had come to the WO in his full Carlton gear to barrack against the Pies... It's stuck in the memory over the years!

Yes I always wondered about that but I ceased being surprised by the actions of Collingwood supporters after my first visit to Victoria Park.

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

1985. First time I ever saw us win at Victoria Park. Back then that meant you were a serious threat because Collingwood just didn't lose there. Ever.

I remember Brad Hardie intercepting a Brian Taylor handball at full back and strolling past the lump of lard like he wasn't there then take a few steps and handballing to the Hawk in the middle of the ground. Doug turns around and has a bounce while he decides which foot he's gonna use to kick the ball to Jimmy Edmond who marks the ball knocks over two Collingwood players and kicks the goal.

All Tim Lane says is "this is how it should be done"

I never thought i saw us win at Vic Park but i was there that day so i must have...

Hate to say it but that place did have a real presence. It always seemed to me as if we were outnumbered 10:1

Vic Park & Kardinia Park always carried a bit of a curse for us.

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

I can tell you off the top of my head that we hadn't beaten Collingwood since 1977 before that game.


And I am fairly certain Don Hyde was a Footsrcray supporter.

Ian Major on 3KZ with Jack Dyer ('the Captain & the Major') was a dog's supporter as well.

All those grounds had an individual character that unique to that place. Arden st had the betting ring out the back, Princes Park had those Carlton supporters banging on the tin advertising hoardings early in the third quarter, junction oval was in the middle (almost) of StKilda and you got that weird train there with people you'd never see in Footscray, the lake oval was a place you never looked at anyone because it was full of wharfies-you stood and watched the football and you went home, at Windy Hill you could pick up chicks! Moorabbin you had to walk to from the station and the trail would go through suburban streets and blocks of land between houses. You felt like you might need a cut lunch and a canteen.

Then everybody at Flinders st on the way home yelling to other supporters trying to find out who won the other games

Yes I was there as well. Must have been about 100 supporters, not much more and the rest Pies.

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

We won twice at Vic Park that season. Fitzroy were playing there too and we played them two weeks after we played Collingwood.

Kardinia Park was a barren landscape for us for a long, long time. I do remember a game perhaps 20 years ago (perhaps longer) where we came from behind to win. I think we were 45 points down at half time. Living in Geelong at the time I carried that one around for a while.

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

Two years in a row we came from a fair way down at Kardinia Park to win. It was in the Wallace years in that patch when we were never out of a game. Big last quarter comebacks against North twhen Matty Croft did the business on Carey and Adelaide.

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

Only 4 weeks from Friday we play our first game against Collingwood for 2017.

We have been beaten a lot by the Pies over the years, but we have had some memorable games and wins as well.

This one is particularly memorable with Beasley kicking a goal with the last kick of the day, after a blunder from now disgraced Graeme Allan. He was disgraced on this day too.

Some great players in this video, and great memories. Cordy Brothers, Rick Kenndy, Purser, Duperouzel, Jimmy Edmond, Magic McLean, Dougie Hawkins etc etc. even Travis' father.

We were losing for the entire day and at some point at least 5 goals down

Were you there that day? I was.

Thanks for posting BAD. You only have to watch a small amount of this caca to realise the Baby Boomers longing for a purer game than what we have now are barking up the wrong tree.

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

Up until this year the elimination final vs Collingwood was one of the best football days I can remember.

Monty getting a huge hit then kicking 4 goals, Bubba retiring pre-game even though he would have been stuck on 299 games if we lost. Great game.

It's the game I most regret not attending, alongside our VFL premiership win a few years ago.

That's a good idea for a thread.

Re: Bulldogs v Collingwood - best memories

Personally my favourite win against the pies was back in 2014, where Tutty kicked the winner. Was the week my first was born, I was exhausted and it was the cream on the cake of an incredible week. I'll never forget that game.
We haven't lost to the pies in the regular season since my daughter was born, and considering my in-laws are all Collingwood supporters it's awesome. Long may it continue!
