Does anyone remember the Lightning Premiership?

I remember being at the ground and laughing at Fremantles theme song.

Was the first time I'd heard it.

didnt it rain like a bastard that weekend and more or less ruin the whole thing?

Yes, the old Waverley thing of sitting up the back under cover

 

[Randomizor]

I remember as a kid watching this but no one has ever talked about it and I am not comletley sure this isn't a figment of my imagination. I recall about 10 years ago in preseason there was a weekend competion at waverley in which all the teams (and maybe some other ones) competed with bizzaro rules and jerseys, I think the games might have been shorter and the cup was won on the second day?

Yes and also the Escort cup

Somebody uploaded the full Richmond vs West Coast game on YouTube if you want to check it out.

I remember the last one I played in at primary school in 1979.

I was named my school's best player and was awarded a GFC certificate by Kevin 'Shifta' Sheehan and John 'Jumping Jack' Hawkins which they had both also signed.

I've still got it somewhere.

We played it on West Kardinia. (St Marys)

Don't you remember? We lose all Power when there's lightning in SA.
