I still remember the draw at Football Park in Round 1 1979 - Central District 14.14 vs West Torrens 14.14.
At the end of the game, we all just looked bewildered.
It was the first draw I’d ever attended.
You remember them because they happen so rarely.
Was also at the G when we drew with Collingwood. Was there with a Collingwood mate and remember him saying during the third quarter when they were 50 points up that they were going to lose the game. I just laughed.
Remember July 1984 at Thebarton Oval - West Torrens vs Norwood, we kick the first two goals of the final quarter to go up 48 points, we ended up losing by a goal. Or April 1976, Prospect Oval North Adelaide vs West Torrens, we led by 55 points at half time, lost by 7 points. These games scarred me for probably 20 years that no matter the lead, you can still lose.
Certainly games stick in your memory, both good and bad.
