Club History Completely random Melbourne memories that come to mind for no particular reason

[Proper Gander]

Enright's 300th, maybe?

That’s the one. Quite a surreal day for Enright really - not the forward line you would choose to be slaughtered by on a milestone match. Max and Bernie were amazing that day and it was one of a low number where I thought Heretier had a decent outing.

That’s the kind of day where you imagine a three-headed calf was born somewhere nearby

 

[mrmonkey]

Yeah weird one I'm think of was McDonald getting frustrated and booting it against the fence, reckon it was a high scoring game as well and we lost. Norf I reckon

Not sure if this is the game, I couldn't find the incident but this was a close game in 02.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Reminds me of a game I think it might have been a queens birthday game in 07. But McClean sprints hard and can't keep a ball in, so angrily he throws the ball into one of those plastic chairs and has a 50 paid against him

Was talking to my dad yesterday and mentioned the last three games in 05 to make finals and then getting smashed by Geelong in the elimination final. Then a random thought popped into my mind Steven King

I 100% heard it. Was horrible.

I 100% heard it. Was horrible.

I remember watching the incident, I might have been too focused on the game/incident but I didn't register the noise. Was pretty nasty.

Talking about nasty incidents I had a pretty good view of Nathan Brown (Richmond) breaking his leg.

Reckon everyone that night heard it . The N.Brown one

 

[stEdy]

I 100% heard it. Was horhorrible

Was apparently Stephen King's shin guard snapping in half (not that it didn't also re-arrange poor Jeff's face)

I was sitting in front of the coach’s box that night.

Brad Miller interviewed on the Footy Show and he was really into doing graffiti on the walls of his own man cave.

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

Young ANB announced himself with 3 goals too

Oh yes!

A truly weird day

 

[Dory_77]

Not quite random, because I remember this every time we beat Port Adelaide.

The first time I met Max Gawn was getting him to sign my ball at the family day at St Kilda in 2015. And the first thing he said to me was “God I ******* love beating Port”.

What a guy!

Toump Ass is Max Gawn?

I was sitting in the PRE pocket in the GSS that day, on the top level, you could definitely hear it from there.

[Proper Gander]

I am so so sorry I raised the leg snap issue

 

[mrmonkey]

I remember going to the footy and seeing a guy outside the mcg with binoculars looking through one of those porthole windows things you see at the great Southern stand, (Shane warne stand as it is called these days) and listening to a radio.

 

[Topkent]

Not sure if this is the game, I couldn't find the incident but this was a close game in 02.

Starting to wonder if actually it was 98/99/00 period

having a set shot for goal from 15 metres out. Didn't make the distance.

Similarly at the MCG (Punt Road end). Trengove having a set shot from goal from 30 metres which didn't make the distance. That's when I knew that the poor guy was physically 'shot'.

 

[Topkent]

One about trenners. I remember him against maybe Adelaide at the G body lining a footy, picking it up and doing a 180 turn with his arms raised early in his career. Looked like a guy who had been playing against men for years. Shame how his career went

(I think?) stuffing up a set shot that somehow dribbled by a bunch of Richmond players untouched for a goal.

 

[mrmonkey]

Starting to wonder if actually it was 98/99/00 period

I just realised you said we lost. I reckon this is the game rd 17 2000. Was our only loss in that run up to th grand final. I never watched the game but I remember my dad saying Powell missed a goal from the square and north kicked 10 in a quarter.
