Favourite Carlton Game Ever!!!

[Jeremias]

1995 premiership and the 1999 preliminary final.

Lucky enough to be present at both games.

99 prelim. I remember, going and praying to my statue of Mary in my bedroom (hilarious, i know, maybe it's the woggy thing having it in there) and asking that we win, "I dont care if we lose the grandfinal, so long as we beat essendon today."

That was one of the best days ever! I got tears in my eyes.

And i'd also have ot say the 1995 grandfinal.

little moments, such as the Millenium Game, where Fev booted 12 goals, and i remember thinking that we have a star on our hands. Games such as Walker's debut, and Marc Murphy's running goal, make me smile and think that we are going to be ok one day soon... .very soon...

GO BLUES!

Found this clip on youtube. One of those moments in a game that i could watch over and over again! Bring back the chainsaw Houlihan!! I reckon he's underrated by supporters, and hopefully he will ignite a bit of passion and faith, by having a great year next year!

(By the way, Dermott ruins that clip, he's such a ********er).

Gee i really like the look of Bower - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_P8Tyfuy-M

Game at Oputs Oval in the early 90's against the Eagles when Simon Minton Connel kicked a goal from 50 out on the boundary line at the Social Club end to put us in front. Think the Eagles were undefeated at that stage of the year. Great win!

Gotta love the 99 prelim as well

Think it was '91 from memory.
Kicked the goal pretty much in front of West Coasts race and went straight through the middle.

 

[HBF]

..... you probably should have left that one out

Perhaps I should have said I WAS tongue kissed. Might have made it better.

That's the game, thanx HBF.

That's the game, thanx HBF.

Have it on tape at home. If you want a copy (or anyone else for that matter), send me a PM and i'll be happy to make for you guys.

FWIW, I have quite a few games on tape that I will be more than happy to make copies of. If I get enough interest, I can post a list of all of the games that I have.

more to come

And let's not forget Brent Crosswell, the Brendan Fevola of his day. He was trouble, but he was fabulous.

Battle of Britain (aside from the 99 GF) was my favourite game involving Carlton.

Yeah, Kernahan having his head smashed into that Rubbish bin on the other side of the fence must have f**kin' hurt!!!!!!

I personally enjoyed the 95 prelim final!

Oh yeah, beating the roos by 10 goals and then the Cats by 10 goals was awesome

It absolutely poured that night as well!!! I still enjoyed it though

Nah - that was a shocking night (plus I was the sole Roos fan with half a dozen Carlton supporting mates to make it worse). The pricks made me go to Percy's pub in Carlton after the game to pay up all my match day bets. Bastards!

My only highlight was Schwatta KO'ing Peter Dean with the perfect hip and shoulder on the Southern Stand wing that night.

Pretty good isn't it. I wonder who made it?

 

[Mr.Kennedy]

Anyone remember how many Essendon fans lined up to get Grand Final tickets instead of going to the game?!

3 mad Essendon friends all travelled to Melbourne to watch Dons play in 99 Grand Final.One was my friends smart Alec little brother,who changed his ticket and came home early pretending he didnt go to Melbourne for football but suddenly it was just a holiday.The local Essendon fan club president who returned with his grand final ticket because he didnt want to sell it to one of us.The last was a friend who caught the bus to Melbourne to see his sick father and while there was going to try and get tickets.The bus pulled in to a servo when he rang me to find out score of Pre-lim,in his anger I think he actually invented new swear words.

And the tough bastard actually made it back onto the ground later in the night IIRC!!

And a week later was one of the best on ground in the GF. What an absolute legend was Peter Dean. Gave his all for the Carlton Football Club. How different the outcome might have been in '93 if he had been available. Calthorpe may not have been as keen to perform some of his acts of thuggery.

 

[Andyt30]

was the Adelaide game in 2004 when Fev kicked that great goal to win the game? if it was it was a great game to beat the Crows in front of their home Crowd

The '99 PF was a super game but I will always have a soft spot for the '79 GF. Being the first GF I went to, it was such an awesome day. The way we came back from almost 5 goals behind at the 20 minute mark of the second quarter, to be in front at half time. The 5 goal to 2 goal 3rd quarter which we thought was enough to get us over the line & then that last quarter, highlighted by Harmes' special moment, Jezza's injury & the Dominator chipping in on a number of occasions to take crucial defensive marks. We didn't hear the final siren at the old scoreboard end of the ground. The first indication that we had won was the roar of some sections of the crowd & Bruce Doull punching the air. The feeling of elation is still hard to describe. We sang the club song over & over again & I didn't want to leave the 'G'. It was a great day for the Carlton FC, with the Under 19s having won the GF as well (David Glascott starred in that game, which featured several massive brawls). It will take a lot for any game to top the '79 GF in my mind.

1979 GF for me as well Mediumsizered...Wayne harmes was my favorite Carlton player back in those days ..so his effort to seal the match made it extra special for me . While i delighted in the 99 prelim win, the 79 Granny still holds a special place in my heart ..and is yet to be topped ...but who knows

He must have still had concussion on GF day considering he fell off the podium (good enough excuse anyway!!)

Was at that game and when I saw the title of this thread that game straight to mind...that was one awesome win...99 prelim as well of course there is nothing better than screwing Essendon but that Eagles game has my nod.

 

[TOPBLUE_25]

I was at the 99 prelim but what is ever better is, I went for free because an Essendon supporter mate of mine gave me his spare ticket!!!!

 

[RememberMe]

The game where Geelong went the knuckle, and Milburn gave ur crowd the finger after laying out Silvagni. Even though the game was lost, we did our bit at ending your finals hopes.
