The outer at most grounds was a great place to watch footy. The banter and comments were always entertaining and it was such a leveler. No medallion clubs, no bulls***. The footy, a few beers, pies and donuts. My favourite grounds were Moorabbin, Glenferrie and Geelong. Loved it.
That game was a real treat after such a lean season. I seem remember Everett kicking a bag of goals as well (not that he matters anymore). Stewie and Nicky were superb.
I recall there was a lot of talk about it being Stewie's last game for us. Certainly glad is wasn't.
Pretty sure it was Devvo's last game for us before we shipped him off to Cowtown ahaha...
Boy, I still yearn for the no B.S. days of footy. I once got invited to a game at the Medallion Club. It was like watching a game amongst extras from George Romero movie. Atmosphere in there completely devoid of life as we know it.
Never experienced a Glenferrie match, as that was before my time. The trips down to Sleepy Hollow were always interesting, although Ablett (the first) cut loose and rained on out parade a few times. Made it a long V-Line trip back home ahaha...
Never had a bad day at Moorabbin, even when we lossed. The place had too much life. In a sense, we were spolit.
Good times!
