Yep, '72. Stroke of coaching genius from Big Nick. I remember it well... Tiggers had the better of us for years so BN parked himself at FF and rucked Percy for the day - threw Hafey out of kilter and the Tiggers had no answer to Big Nick and his indomitable presence at FF. The first half was unbelievable. We'd never seen so many goals in a half of GF footy.
Sadly, the Tiggers got their revenge in '73.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
