The energy watch logo really dates it to just one preseason in particular, in the Gysberts photo

Have you got the photo of Jack Grimes in a bathtub with a pony? That's a classic

Sounds like a google search that will put me on a government watch list. Is that real?

edit: ok perhaps unsurprisingly google gave me a lot of my little pony pictures, and zero photos of Jack Grimes. Feeling thankful for safe search

Today i had a random memory for no reason,

Ben Holland absolutely silencing Anthony Rocca on back to back queens birthday games

Petterd smashing the ground after dropping a mark in the goal square with 1 second to go against Collingwood

I almost smashed the seat in front of me when that happened too.

I remember that day a Collingwood supporter giving shit to Dunn for his name "Lynden" and I reminded him they had someone on their list called Tarkyn.

I see that goal over his head in 2008 still triggers you all

Some good memories though. Thanks for the invite in Headless

Most things do.

Sitting in the red seats in the old Olympic Stand and there was always a guy with a mo wearing a Melbourne jumper a size too small storming up and down the stairs trying to get the supporters to join him in on his "Melbourne clap clap clap " chants.

Ox booting the shit out of the ball in the square - QF 2000 v Carlton.

Ox grabbing the ball from a boundary throw in, blind turn and kicking a goal - QF 94 vs Carlton

Garry Lyon kicking a torpedo goal from the centre square at Waverley when it was pissing rain - Prelim 88 vs Carlton

 

[Proper Gander]

Oscar McDonald spoiling a footy with his forehead, think it was the 2018 elim final

It was.

That whole game stood out as a great day for me, but the Omac spoil was just mint.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Leaving Windy Hill early and listening on the radio while ex-Bomber Steven Clark took a mark to have a shot from 50 out directly in front after the siren. The commentators not knowing what was going on as Essendon supporters streamed onto the ground before he could line up and the ball being touched on the line but no-one knowing who had touched it (player or random). Anyway the goal didn't count and we lost.

Beating Carlton in the last game ever at Princes Park and being surrounded by shitty Blues supporters in the Legends Stand (this was Pagan era Blues). After the game they play the Blues song even though we won, my brother and I said stuff that and screamed/sang Grand Old Flag as we walked out of there with Carlton supporters staring daggers at us.

This is an outstanding thread.

I’m honestly glad I have so little going on in my life that I’ve really delved into it.

So many great memories. Even more dreadful ones obviously.

I love this thread

Anyone mention Jordan Gysberts getting two Rising Star nominations in his first handful of games and then dropping off the face of the earth soon after?
