NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Essendon Sunday 28th Feb

[DJC]

You didn't piss in the empties? :o

Must admit, my last game at Mecca was in the silver service area having lunch on a table next to the Silvagnis, but no happy ending that day!

My strongest memory of Princes Park was watching from the wing as a teenager as we were being done over by the umpires when EFC stitched up Fitzy for alleged time wasting. Was such a free kick ever paid against the ball carrier before that day or on any day since? He held the ball for just 10 seconds from when the mark was paid, no wonder I hate those red and black haemorrhoids!

Ever go to the night footy at the Lake Oval LP?  That was well before I was old enough to enjoy a frothy but the punters would take several longnecks and avoided the need to visit the loo by the clever use of a bicycle tube inside one trouser leg.

I have so many great memories from Princes Park but the one that springs to mind concerns a game against North and a North supporting friend of one of my mates came to the game with us.  He was into Jezza from the first bounce, calling out that he was too old.  Jezza played HBF and was directly in front of us for half the game.  He gave his opponent a complete bath and was easily BoG.  Our North supporting companion was very quiet from midway through the first quarter

Jezza's opponent was John Cassin and I believe that he had announced that he was going sort Jezza out.
