Would've been a West Coast Eagles match at Subi. Might've been a match against Hawthorn late in the season in '91. I think the Eagles won but then of course lost the GF not long after.
The first match i vividly remember being in attendance at would be West Coast v Carlton in '93. Chris Mainwaring hit the post from a set shot banana kick with about 20 seconds to go and the Eagles lost by a point.

First game was that Ansett Australia final out at Waverley, Essendon v Richmond, with 70,000 of my closest friends.
Next game came a bit later, it was a game against the dogs (99?) when we won by 4 points but had heaps of injurys. I was sitting bottom level Ponsford stand and couldn't hear the siren go off, the roar was so loud.
As a youngster when i was born i would follow my parents and uncles to the Carlton v Essendon games, first one in 88 or 89 parents told me. Not being from melbourne we only traveled to those games. The first game i can remember was Essendon v Fremantle in 95 at the MCG. ROUND 17 when essendon won 21.9.135 to 13.9.87. and hirdy kicked 5 straight. i can remember marking the footy when paul salmon kicked a goal. couldnt wipe the smile
since ive only lived near a Footy ground since the start of 2003 (brissy) my first game was Essendon V Lions, in the very early rounds of the 2003 season, we went down 100 odd to 60 odd, wasnt a great start and hasn't gotten any better, ive been to 5 games since then and have never witnessed a victory hopefully that will change when i see them play the swans in a few weeks time

Essendon V Richmond at Windy Hill in 1966.
My dad was a gatekeeper at the time and let my sister and I in for free. We were saved some seats in the Reynolds stand by a police sergeant who was a friend of my dad.
The policeman would watch over us until dad was able to come up into the stand after 1/4 time.

If it was we won by 3 goals and were the only side to beat Sydney in Melbourne during the home and away series.

Mine was about 83 Swans v Scum (I got to play in the old fashioned little league when only two teams of kids played on the full ground...) Don't remember who won, didn't really care cause EFC weren't playing
Next game was 84 Swans v Bombers...some scenario, got in playing little league, crowd of about 34k too
