No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XXXVII

[Coach_Required]

You really didn't miss much.

I was a little kid watching some of those 80's games, but I still vividly remember some hideous scorelines, mud fests and sides where at least a dozen blokes had dodgy skills on a dry day.

Ahhh the 80's ... Listening on the radio and "around the grounds" ... Artic Park - We are at the 5 min mark of the 2nd quarter and Hawthorn 6.1.37 to Richmond 1.3.9

 

[Brick Loosener]

I remember some of the Footscray/St Kilda/Fitzroy games through the 80's were definitely this bad and worse, especially the wet days.

CCJ looks a shadow of the player he was with us.

He was shit with us.

 

[TigerImposter]

Bite your tongue TI. That’s a disgraceful thing to say!!

Hi FS what part of my post weren’t you happy about? Was it saying Geelong winning the flag or using the F word bc if so our lives would be a mess?

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

He was s**t with us.

Yeah and now he's a shadow of shit.

My favourite part of that was the around the grounds men, especially back in the 70's. George Ferry at Carlton, Gerald Bourke at Collingwood, Skeeter Coghlan at Footscray. Frank Considine at Glenferrie. Polly Perkins at Waverley. Huey Mitchell at Essendon. Brings a tear to the eye. These guys were like agent 38 from Get Smart. They had to stand and watch a game alone and wait for the main commentators to cross to them for a live update. Sometimes if they had "the close one" at the end they would have to provide live commentary one out and man alone. In between Statewide Building Society ads. To have genuine football guys like those to listen to these days...

Access these days is great, but back then it was great to hear "Tigers by a point, sounds like we've got the close one". I was forever glued to the radio just waiting to hear the scores if we weren't the game on the radio.

And you got good updates and bad updates. If I got a couple of "bad" updates in succession, I would be convinced that was because I was listening, and I would turn the radio off for a period, convinced that the longer I left if before turning it back on, the more likely I was to get a "good" update. Like: "Michael Roach is destroying Essendon here, he has just kicked his fourth for the quarter and his 3rd opponent Max Crow has had to be moved off him, and now Centre Half Forward Alan Noonan has been moved to full back onto him....and we are not even in time on yet, and he has missed a couple as well, so he could have had 6."

When we were on one of the main stations like 3LO or 3KZ and playing Carlton, I could not bear to listen if they got a run of goals against us. It was always a bit easier to cope with if it was Fitzroy or some other inoffensive club. My go to if Blues were getting on top of us was switch to another game altogether, in the hope that would cause us to start kicking goals. It was amazing how often that strategy worked.

Loved those days.

The media loved putting the boot into Richmond even then but it was great when we dominated.

Why aren’t the AFL trying to stop Collingwood?

 

[lvt06]

Why aren’t the AFL trying to stop Collingwood?

Because they realise now its in black and white, that fast forward moving football is exciting?

Remember when Port kicked a grand total of 5 goals in Kane's 300th and final match loss to Richmond and the campaigner had the audacity to get chaired off with a guard of honour? Think he even cried from memory.
