Answer 4

Round 18, 1995, Friday night match between Richmond and Hawthorn.

I had only been in Melbourne for a day and a half. It was my first time in the MCG. What a memory.

This year, when the siren went off on GF day. I cried, listening to 3AW on the Internet (thanks Andrew for no worthwhile TV in the USA of footy).

By American gridiron team has one it once, Super Bowl, in my lifetime (Kansas City, 1969), by baseball team has only won it once, World Series, in my lifetime (Kansas City, 1985). Now my footy club has won it for the second time, I was only 2 years old in 1963 and I didn't know what footy was for another 20 years.

Undoubtably the three grand finals that the West Coast Eagles won!

Answer 11

The Centenary Test in 1977 when Rick McCosker went out to bat in the second innings with his head swathed in bandages after having his jaw broken.

At the time i was a young aspiring cricketer with more ambition than talent and he was my hero so for him to do something so courageous for his country will live with me for at least 30 years

Answer 12

Teddy Whitten doing a lap of honor with his son at the G - it still brings tears to my eyes.

Answer 13

The 89 GF when Brerton got taken out behind play, then a few mins later he took a strong grab and kicked the goal .......  This is after he had been vomiting and struggling to get back to his feet.

That whole game was just so physical, I think there wrere 3 Hawthorn players that were in hospital that night, the worst being Dipper with a punctured lung

Answer 14

When that public nuisance (David D i c k h e a d) jumped on the goalies net during the Australia v. Iran game in the 1998 soccer world cup qualifier.   It upset our momentum and we friggen lost...I was shattered.

And also The Swannies win over The WestCoast in 2005! Go the Bloods.  Man I cried after Leapin' Leo Marked that ball and we won.  I spose we only really beat a bunch of druggos.  But then they beat us!
