I was at that game too. My first year of going to games regularly. Not a bad way to start.
Don't remember much about it except the huge adrenalin kick in the crowd knowing that we were going to the GF. I don't think anyone in that stand had any doubt that we'd be premiers that night. I certainly didn't.
Oh well.
Thanks for the upload!
Who let Wayne Rooney into the North Melbourne team? Oh, it's Mick Martin.
Shame "Boxhead" Heatley never really made it, he was a dead-eye but not much else in the end. Is he still coaching? Maybe he can help Riewoldt out with his kicking.
Excuse my ignorance, but people were talking about what happened to Leowe before the GF; what happened? I know about Winmar, but can't remember Leowe. All I know is that he was double/triple teamed out of the GF.

On a sour note- I've seen us look like a premiership contender and go into 97, 09, 10 and come away with nothing each time..I'm really sick of it to be honest. While I think RL has done a great job, his unwillingness to take risks or deviate from the plan probably means we won't get a flag under him, as the GF is another ball game altogether and a lot of those systems get thrown out the window on the day...enough of my rant ..sorry guys.

I think we're all sick of it mate! Not much we can do about the past but use it to prepare for the future.
RL too conservative to win GF? Dunno; he did put Sam Gilbert in the forward line on both GFs last year, although he could have done it earlier in the replay - only Sam's terrible goal kicking stopped that move being matchwinning. He also chose to bring Bakes back for the first GF; big risk considering he'd been out so long before. I suppose they were all plans though and really that's what you're talking about; improvising.
Yes, it's true that most of us would prefer him to be a bit more reckless/instinctive, like putting Shane Ellen in the forward line in '97 must have been.
But just remember that 09's GF loss wasn't a result of conservative coaching, but poor goalkicking. You could have a point by saying that if we had a less conservative gameplan that we would have been more attacking and got more margin for error, but maybe we would have been like the bulldogs, who knows?
I'm more worried about the limitations of the players than the coach right now to be honest.

The old man reckons it was his sister. Timing couldn't be worse by her seemed like she wanted to make her mark on him too for some reason only the Loewe family will know.plugger66 wrote:I believe a close family member tried to commit suicide.Austinnn wrote:I was at that game too.

The old man reckons it was the best feeling a game gave him outside the 66 Granny. Had a good chat with North legend Doug Wade after the game, his second favourite full forward after the great Plugger.

My old man feels the same way. Says "Sainters only making up the numbers now in the top 8 and need to rebuild to win our next GF". He gets pretty down now because this window we had was the best one since the mid 60's era.spert wrote:On a sour note- I've seen us look like a premiership contender and go into 97, 09, 10 and come away with nothing each time..I'm really sick of it to be honest.

That whole year was surreal for me.
Left Oz in March, went overseas till August, doing the US- 3 month road trip from LA to New York - Europe and South Africa.
Kept tabs on the Sts the whole time. Got back by Rd 22, saw the Waverley final, then back to Cairns to pack up and move to Brissie.
Watched the GF in Brissie.
For years afterwards, it blew me away that we made the GF. The greatest year of my life - our 'world tour' was as good as you could imagine - and could gave been topped off nicely with that flag.
