Sorry Mr Tigra typo on my behalf was 1998. :thumbsup

Dice I was 12 years old an a Pies relative took me to that game at Waverley. Shocking day.

Centennary game was 2008 with the HFC type guernsey, FTF game was 2011.

My hatred for the Carlton footy club started thad awful day in 1982 and has not waned one iota ever since. When you're 7 they are unforgettable and unforgivable. Never does a footy game go by where I don't wish failure on that organisation of misappropriation.

The Sydney game where Mickey O kicked that goal was 2000. Chaffey replied kicking one that kept on bouncing and bouncing and eluded Troy Luff and went through and to make it worse Matty Rogers marked 40 out dead in front to give us the lead 2 points down and shinned the set shot and it got rushed through leaving us one point down and thus at the final score.
PS Etihad was not finished and in use until 2000.

Nonetheless great stories Dice only a true tiger can smile at and laugh at oneself and their misfortune. :thumbsup

Lamington that game in 03 against Nought and the year before the Mick Martyn game where his dad was gravely ill and Mick was allowed to wear the number his now late father wore in his playing days. It seemed the era under Laidley Nought always had some tribute or milestone or something against us. :thumbsup

CUB I hear ya. :thumbsup

That 113 point game in 1994 went out with my sister and friends to the Prince of Wales to see the Cosmic Psychos. My depression quickly dissipated given i was doing my Carlton supporter sister a favour and going as she had a full purse and the drinks flowed nicely and regularly until the Cosmic Psychos came on abnd the lead singer before they started said I was a Richmond supporter until 2pm today. Reality hit and my blood ran cold for a moment ........

Until my mate was approaching with two wild turkey and cokes to further wet my whistle. :thumbsup

True Tigers the lot of us. :thumbsup
