Re: It was four years ago today...

Picken elevated himself to an entirely new level that night, and maintained the rage for the entire finals series. Would love to buy that bloke a beer one day.

Dunks did a pretty good impersonation of Picken as an undersized CHF against West Coast. Wouldn't surprise me if he was used in that role for the remainder of the season.

That's "Mr. September" thank you very much.

That is just beautiful.
It makes you wonder doesn't it about the sort of people that would raisrle a pre-pubescent kid who feels it's just fine to go up a taunt a complete stranger. Perhaps someone will tip him on his arse before it's too late as his parents aren't interested in getting him to pull his head in.

The worst part of it, his father gave him a high five straight afterwards, congratulating him.

Re: It was four years ago today...

I remember this one! Was watching in Melbourne and couldn't believe my eyes. Eagles fans were all over social media saying it doesn't matter because we won't win the flag anyway etc. I would have loved to have been at the game and watch the fans scurry out at 3QT.

I was at the game and it really wasn't like that...at 3/4 time I was still dreading the inevitable collapse followed by the very, very sad train ride home surrounded by blue and yellow...colours that are NOT associated with being graceful in victory.

The start of an amazing month of footy.

I could go back in time and dig up my positive posts (for a change) on how I was super confident going into that match... I even emptied by sports betting accounts on us that night, but foolishly went the 1-39 pts options... what a dickhead!!

Oh, to have the confidence that we would come to play, as I did back then.

Quasi CHF what a bloody legend.

I honestly thought we would lose in Perth. I was also imagining another 2006 when they kicked the first couple.

My daughter was closing in on her first birthday, asleep in her cot.
Three of my mates who I sit with at the footy came over to my new place for pizza, beers and glory.
We had to keep our celebrations under wraps, but it was hard because we knew.

Re: It was four years ago today...

Not going to lie TD, might have been as important as Roughy's mark after JJ's goal was inconclusively disallowed

I like to think that Toyd's goal may have been nearly as important as me throwing the footy.

I botted a cigarette off of Billy Picken at halftime up at Ballarat v Port Adelaide in 2017. That's almost the same thing.
