Fabulous Footy Moments

Postby Magpiespower » Fri Jan 05, 2007 8:36 am

Picked up the 'South Australia State-of-Origin Series 2' video for $3 at a book sale in Darling Harbour the other day.

Games include:

1983 v Victoria, Football Park.
1993 v Victoria, MCG.
1994 v Victoria, Football Park.

Fascinating to watch the 1983 game again and see how much the game has changed. It was a much more open, free-flowing contest back then, with a lot less defensive intensity, hence the bigger scores of the time.

And it's always good to look at the face of EJ when we got that free in the last minute.

1994 S.A. versus Victoria was the most packed I've EVER seen Footy Park...
I remember resorting to sitting on a wheelie bin much to the anger of them bloody redcoats...
Believe me, it's not that easy keeping balance on one of them things after drinking a gutful of piss!
None of this "Stand in front of the Yellow Lines!" crap we gotta deal with down there nowadays! :roll:
GO THE GROWL!!!

1995 State of Origin... E.J. Whitten totally stricken by cancer doing the lap of honour just before he carked it.
Truly one of the most moving things I've ever seen in my life on or off the footy field! :cry:
Pity the Croweaters got caned by them Vics 18 12 (120) to 8 9 (57)
Plugger got B.O.G.
So in the late great Teddy's words they sure "Stuck it up 'em!"
What a send off!
GO THE GROWL!!!
