What a brilliant effort by Milney. Looking forward to reliving it again tonight.

What it does highlight is the lack of recognition afforded to #44 outside of our club. Hell, if Neon Leon hadâ€™ve kicked 11 in a game (I know, donâ€™t laugh) he would have had a Grandstand named after him. It doesnâ€™t matter who the opposition was, or how they were travelling, or anything else for that matter â€“ 11 goals from a small forward is an unbelievable effort.

The football media and opposition clubs still look down on him as some annoying, inconsistent little upstart.

Fortunately we know better.

PS: Does anyone know if that soccer thingy is still going?

+1
Or if Harry O'Brien kicked 11 would probably be chairing the G20.

don't forget Hamill's hit on Aka in this game... worth reliving that one...

Watching now.

Hamill on Aker. SUPERB. Legitimate, hard and couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

Gwilt-pack-Hayes CHARGING at the fall - ducks weaves - handball Milne - snap - goal. GOLD.

I do miss Aussie and Pecks.

Cain Ackland. What was the thinking there?

I didn't think Thomas liked ruckmen?
I giggled a little when I saw Ackland though...

Gwilt's first game too iirc... loves it.

Five years have flown....wasn't that long ago,but haven't things changed....for the worse!!
That footy is much better to watch than todays game. And the crowd,when we used to have voice...not like todays current sanitised theatre go'ers

There was a centre bounce in the first quarter where Ackland went up before the ball had even reached the peak of its bounce. I had to laugh.

Gee there's some players I miss - Hamill, Peckett, Thomson, Voss, a fresh and healthy Ball.

Harry O'Brien will never chair the G20, but a feminine doggie full forward will probably get to do that.
Just hope she holds it somewhere around in Footscray or Altona.
The violent anarchists who follow G20 meetings around the world will wreck the western suburbs for ever.

My only game for the year was the Pies game.

The Saints crowd was the best I've ever heard.

And I was saying to my wife 'how good is this pressure footy - makes all the namby pamby unaccountable crap of five years ago seem like a different game.'

Horses for courses I guess.

True...that game was an exception. Crowd was brilliant that night this year. But mostly, there is little passion in the ground at our games from our supporters. Sunday night was a shocker...people just sit there,no whinging about umpiring,no screaming for free kicks...they just sit there and be quiet. Clap when we kick a goal...that's about it. You'll hear more noise from the opposition cheer squad half the time who are outnumbered 20 to 1
Once noisy animals,now mostly timid

Must admit though Sunday night was diabolical, no intensity and game was over quickly.

Usually we do pretty well.

Hard to get excited about much on Sunday night.

Expected to win, going through the motions, a comfortable but not devastating by any means margin, Sunday twilight, coming off the Geelong game, bigger fish to fry.

Back to 2005...How ON EARTH DID WE LOSE TO f****** SYDNEY....

We were flying. FLYING.

Watching it at the moment on good old IQ.

Luke Ball looked amazing that night, no surprises he won all australian and a B&F that year.

Taking pack marks and kicking 50+ with both feet.

Just thought it was worth mentioning, thankfully he is nothing like that now whilst wearing the black and white...

Physically powerful team we had back then - Hamill, see that hit on Acker hehe. what a ripper.

Powell, Voss, Thompson. Big side. Played an exhillarating brand of footy that night.
