The boogey man checks under his bed for Max Rooke. Max Rooke's tears cure cancer. . . pity he never cries.

No, not 89, Hawthorn were a power house that year. We played out of our skins to get that close. 1992 was the one that got away from us. Led by 24 or something points at half time only to see Matera turn it on in the second half. I saw Malcolm Blight asked if things would have been different...

I am not denying Carey was good in his 2 finals that year. But for a dominant finals series no one beats Gary Ablett Snr in 1989. I have never witnessed a better perfomance from one player across an entire finals series. Simply amazing.

That was a monster kick that went straight through for a goal. I am pretty sure it was at the SCG.

I have not been on here for ages and am surprised this is an issue. It was sorted on grand final day - IT HIT THE POST!!! Look at Hawkins reaction, the St. Kilda players reaction, the commentators reaction and importantly the ball deviation. To all those who are watching replays, using slow-mo...

All Hawks fans can relaX. BREAKING NEWS: HAWTHORN president Jeff Kennett has dismissed a report that premiership defender Campbell Brown will be traded to Port Adelaide...

When I was young I used to watch a TV show called Monkey. A show about an idestructible hairy dude. I thought it was great fiction. Now I realise I was watching Max Rooke's biography!! It wasn't meant to be called Monkey, but Maxy!!:thumbsu:

The slaughter would have been as bad. Yes you had Carey, but their team was way ahead of the pack.

Yep, it was all the umpires doing. Nothing to do with the fact that North failed to kick a goal in the second quarter, scoring 4 behinds to Geelongs 7 goals 4 behinds.

I am very nervous, simply because we should win. I do not buy into the crap the Collingwood match up well on us and therefore they have an advantage. The results in key games have fallen our way. I am surprised by the margins suggested. Read John Harms article in The Age today, it is true -...

Re: Hot Pies - the new premiership favourites? No, but do you remember when they almost beat Geelong in the '07 Preliminary final and almost beat St.Kilda in the '66 Grand Final? In their minds that means they match up well and will always beat us. Except for the final score, they actually...

With the way St.Kilda is playing football at the moment does fitness really matter? They allow opposition players to take about two steps into their run before three of them tackle the player to the ground, cause a turn over and kick a goal. Yesterdays match was more like rugby union than Aussie...

I was at that game also, fantastic game. Similar situation with the team, we had a star studded team and very good players waiting in the reserves for their chance. Let's hope they take up the challenge and give it everything on Saturday.

According to Allthestats Essendon wooden spoons in 1918, 1921, 1933. When was the fourth one? Would be interested to know. My system is far from perfect but I disagree with Geelong63, you cannot ignore the bad and focus solely on the good, history doesn't work that way. Too many teams have...

These ranking discussions always get me. Everyone only counts premierships as the successful years and never includes wooden spoons as the ultimate unsuccessful year. So I think if you can award one point for a flag and subtract one point for a wooden spoon you get a better picture of overall...

You can only play the teams put in front of you. Don't worry about the Saints, they are the real deal, smashing poorly performing teams and overcoming strong ones, even when challenged.

Easy there chopper. Take over other peoples conversations? You posted in a public forum, not as a private message. And when does one post in reply mean I have taken over or become arrogant? As for the rest of your post, what the?:eek:

So you are saying that if Freo was a strong, hard, talented team able to kick winning scores, you would have beaten Geelong, and the fact that they are not is the only thing holding you back at the moment? :confused: Mate, if my aunty had balls she would be my uncle!!:D

OK but I am not sure what your point is, you got your one and only win at our home ground. You now have the impressive stat of 1 win from 11 matches at Skilled Stadium. On the other hand, you should concentrate on defending your own home ground. We have played you at Subiaco 11 times also, we...

I think they requested home games at skilled but we declined the offer. I think we wanted Skilled to be a true home game advantage.

Falchoon - was the 1992 match that you posted the one where Ken Sheldon ran to the boundary and went absolutely ape shi! at Devonport? Earlier in the match. That was a cracker. :D

Yep, and our record against both at their respective home grounds = crap. Thank you for shifting to the MCG (I understand the circumstances but not so good for you guys) and especially thank you to Carlton for playing us at the Dome :thumbsu:

Any victory over them is sweet. But for any of you who have memories that extend beyond the era of reality TV you would know that the sweetest victory of all was when you beat them on their own turf!! They were just so dominant at Vic park. For those of you too young, have a look at their win...

'And the big men fly' - not sure about the suggestion of it been made into a TV movie. Originally written as a play. I went to see it in 1988 at the Atheneum. Was pretty good. The best was "The Club", again a play originally but the film does it justice.

Yes please, and while your at it can you coax Spinks out of retirement to join us!!!! :eek:

1989 by a country mile. The 1990 Grand Final contained Collingwood and Essendon only because Hawthorn and Geelong were still recovering from the previous year.

Everyone needs to calm down in here. Geelong have won one Flag, I seem to recall that this years GF is yet to be played!!! It is far from a certainty. Our run will soon be forgotten if we lose. I would love the Cats to win three straight, but am more interested in building a successful era as...

Apologies to the Op, but by the power of Max Rooke and Luke Hodge your thread has been defeated. I have not laughed so much in ages, great posts :thumbsu:

Getting very nervous. Expect Dogs to come at us with everything. For them to win B. Johnson and Murphy need to fire, Johnson in particular has been a problem for us in the past. I do not think this will be as easy as some suggest (mainly non geelong supporters, but unfortunately a few of our...

Colour TV did not come in to Australia until 1975, so we will revisit your question in 2025 :thumbsu:
