    Anzac Day in 1983. We kicked 10.3 in the first to Richmond 0.3, then in the second they kicked 8 to our 2 and we ended up winning by 2 points. Jim ended up with 7 and Steve Wallis was the top mid.

        A great day. Gorgeous autumn sunshine, and after the disastrous Royce Hart era, we were a team on the up. Remember when Collingwood and Essendon didn’t hog Anzac Day at the G??

            Don't remember the year (maybe 2008?) but when we beat Adelaide at the G and Cooney kicked 5 and had 30 touches was a fun one to see live

                    I tried to watch this video but the text translation of the commentary was too distracting.

                    Also, sigh, Jake Stringer. What might have been.

                        Was that Clay Smith? He could crack a few rectums i reckon.

                            That was the stock standard Jake performance though... do SFA for most of the game, but get involved for 5-10min and turn the game in that time.

                                Agreed, but players that can actually turn games with a few touches can be worth it, if they're not complete dickheads outside of that.

                                        At least his 5-10 minutes used to come when it mattered.

                                        Look st the difference in his body composition between then and now. If you got a picture of him without his head in it now you’d think he was 45 years old. And this wasn’t even him at his best.

                                            Yep, he's not in the best shape is he?

                                            I guess the bad thing about those super spongy floors out at The Hanger is the sense that you're still light on your feet which probably doesn't ring true for the Package.

                                                        I remember that day very well. My wife dragged me to meet our neighbours cause our daughters had made friends at kindy. Sounded sucky but I went. The wife neighbour was there but not the husband! I'd been stitched up. He decided to go the races rather than this lame meet and greet. Fair play. I was trying to be polite while also keeping an eye on scores. The husband was going to be home about half time. I figured maybe we'd bond over a beer and the 2nd half. He then text his wife to say he wasn't coming cause he was continuing his drinking at the rugby/rugby league match happening that afternoon. I had to admire that.

                                                        We've since become very close mates and watch footy together every weekend.
