When we could still stick it to clubs.

every time I see Stupido I cant help but think of what could have been. Such a waste.

I was there Bonce, and I still get a bit of firming in the trousers when I think of that night

. What a game, what a win!!! Thoroughly enjoyed sticking it up 40000 Shocker supporters.

I miss those days too

I flew over for that game. Had Dockers officials at Melbourne airport being smart asses while waiting for the flight. It was a great night. My voice was knacked for 3 days after that. Not sure if it was the yelling or the grog afterwards. Funny thing was Eagles supporters coming up to us at the casino like they had won the game. One even brought me a beer.

Awesome night.

What a night that was...the shockers fans were creaming themselves when they started well but that was it for them. The noise level when we scored was awesome....enough to send a shiver down my spine. We came, we saw, we kicked serious butt.

And then just to make it a great weekend, I played golf the next day and had my best score for over ten years.

great article. sheeds should have read the paper.

But the drive behind the Essendon side that made the Dockers look like schoolboys that night is still a closer relative to the 2000 premiership side than the combination that will claim the Bombers' next flag - whenever that might be

A great article.

It's always good to win when no one gives you a chance.

Not even Jim could lay claim to it being skill.

That game also showed quite clearly what an enigma Damian Cupido is. A bumbling fool one minute, a game breaker the next....

That takes me back that game. That game and the Melbourne game the year later were both great games.

I had tickets to the Melbourne elimination final game but i had to work

Make no mistake, the Dockers are going places. Their era of success is in the post and will be upon us soon. But that night in Perth, an ageing champion reminded them that it had not arrived just yet.

good quote. from the last 2.5 years up until the middle of this year, and even as far a rd 18 i never rated freo.
