My first game was Carlton v Melbourne in 1964. 3rd last, us, v the Premiers, Melbourne. We led most of the day but got run over by 2 goals.
Very similar story here. I also started barracking for the BlueBaggers in '64... believe it or not, I felt sorry for them and liked the jumper. We were near the bottom and struggling - hence feeling sorry for them (good old Aussie favouring the underdog mentality). First game was Fluffy Ducks v Us. We won by 25 pts.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
