One thing is for sure when you watch these games again, is it shows how soft our game has become, and the 80`s was the very best era of footy!

Probably the best game of them all

I think the kid he ran through was playing his first game at EP.
I believe that that was the end of his brilliant career.It broke him to be booed.

I have that game on DVD mate and we ruined Michaels day by smashing South as I hope we can do this week! Yes you are correct he cowardly took out Keith Narkle who was a 100% ball player if there ever was one!

Yeah bang on the coin Swannie mate - this era & the one before it has seen the worst drug cheating softcockedness imaginable

These modern day hipster haired poofters wouldn't have lasted a microsecond against the likes of Michael , Roo Boucher , Campbell , Reeves , Needle , Johnny Duckworth and co

they also lack skill today

Big Ron that day was keen on leaving imprints on Brad Hardy and Noel Carter, but wouldn't stand his ground wen confronted by TI.

I am going to dig out that footage right now and see if that is correct or not as big Roo would not get out of the way of anything! But they were great days anyway!

IN THE SECOND QUARTER BASIL CHARGED ACROSS THE MEMBERS WING STRAIGHT AT DON SCOTT WHO RAN AWAY TOWARD THE BENCH LIKE THE COWRDLY VICCO HE WAS

JOB DONE SPINE CRUSHED

ANOTHER VICTORY TO THE MIGHTY BLACK SWAN

That wouldve been 79/1980 not 83 as Donny Scott and Basil werent playing then. Great days though, and highlights the shame we let the Vics fuck us over off the field after fucked them over on it

I've dug into the archives mate - it was indeed the 1977 original game so I stand corrected

1983 was the game where Michael produced an amazing last quarter to sink the pricks

I get goose bumps watching the replays of those games! I bought a 4 hour DVD from the ABC about 10 years ago with them all on it, priceless footage!

Final score: 28.14 to 19.14

No mention of David Morgan getting ironed out though in the register so must not have been much in it
