PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

I read a post on Bummerblitz a few weeks ago asking if people had a few tickets to any game from the past which they'd choose and why.

Would be interesting to read which games PREnders would choose if they could go back in time.

Maybe choose 3 games we've actually been to and 3 we haven't but would like to have been there.

My three I was at.

1- '95 final against the Bummers.  I could do with a dose of that feeling again. Been a long time.

2- The low scoring game when we defeated the Hawks in the wet at Lake Waverley.  I miss that hard slog in the wet kind of footy.  Booooo @ roofs on dolls houses.

3- The round 22 game at the OO where we put Carlton out fo the finals.  Loved the excitement as we came from behind and wiped the smug grins off their supporters faces.  Was a real game of the walking wounded where everyone gave their all.

My three I haven't been to but wish I had. 

1-  1943 premiership where we beat the Bummers by 5 points.  Sounds close and exciting and I'd love to see Jack Dyer play.
Richmond 4.2 6.5 8.8 12.14-86
Essendon 2.4 4.9 8.13 11.15-81
Best Waldron, Dyer, Harris, Perkins, Merrett, Broadstock, Bawden, Oppy


2- 1980 premiership.  I've never been to a grand final.  1980 was a bad time of my life and I have no memory of the game.  I'll watch the dvd soon.

3-  Better go for one I've seen on telly. I would have loved to have been there the night we beat Adelaide over there in the wet.  I love electrical storms but it must have been scary to be out in it.
