Just wanted to share my september memories following the Crows in Victoria:
1997 - Went to the first 2 finals in Adelaide but couldn't afford to go to the prelim. We won convincingly. Tried desperately for a GF ticket after mum was going to lend me the money, but couldnt get one. Of course we won.
1998 - Wasnt going to miss out this time. Was packed and went to the final v Melbourne. We got trounced. After beating Sydney the following week, I decided that I wouldnt go to the prelim final v the Bulldogs as 'we probably wouldnt beat them twice in a row'. Of course we won, so I tried to get a ticket to the Grand Final but no luck. Yes we won that too.
2001 - After declaring I will NEVER ever miss another final in Melbourne I booked the tickets for the elimination final v Carlton. Bad loss, I actually think that was the ONLY game EVER that Jim Plunkett had more than 3 disposals.
At this stage I was absolutely dejected. Score at this stage was -
Finals in Melbourne without Sarge 4/4
Finals in Melbourne with Sarge 0/2.
2002 - I was actually playing local footy for Gepps Cross so I couldn't go to the final against Melbourne in 2002 and it was a cracker, but I bravely bought my ticket for the Collingwood prelimin. Again we lost.
2003 - There were no finals in Melbourne, but I was prepared to go.
Scoreboard reads:
Finals in Melbourne without Sarge 5/5
Finals in Melbourne with Sarge 0/3.
