Crows celebration of 20 year anniversary

Post: # 1675692Post leighsaintsince66 »

Gosh I hope that we spoil the Crows of 1997, 20 year anniversary of their first premiership. This is to be held this weekend.

I will never forget being at the MCG on that day in late September 97. Until the 15 - 20 minute mark of the last quarter, I carried the belief that the Mighty Sainters would prevail.
A second premiership cup would find it's rightful home at Moorabbin. We had of course won nine games in a row in the lead up.

What followed was the indignity of being beaten by a side that had been in the AFL for a mere six or so years. Subsequently, I can remember Crows fans making a mockery of the Saints, even singing our Club Song in a blasphemous manner. I kept my mouth closed as I walked away, back to my car which was parked near Swan and Coppin Streets Richmond. I have never forgotten the ongoing heckling from their supporters however, even as I was minding my own business.

Quite seriously Saints, please spoil the party...

I still can't listen to their theme song without feeling ill.

Can't believe that was 20 years ago, really.

Pbly the worst football day of my life... either that or the draw.

I was 13 at the time, went to every game in Melbourne that season.

Never for a second thought we'd lose the game until suddenly it was beyond us. Hated that we lost Everite, Vids, Wakes and smith beforehand though the crows had a few handy outs themselves.

I've come to peace with this one over the journey... Crows fans to me have been a pretty gracious bunch about it, more happy with their time rather than rubbing our noses in it. I have some respect for that club.

Blight not there as he is playing golf.
