It would be interesting to know where everyone was, at the game, at home, and any stories about the day.
for me, I was 13. My parents were very religious so we were at church. I pretended to be sick so I could go and sit in the car and listen on the am radio (pretty sure dad knew exactly what was going down lol)
It been a long slog since then (I can't say between drinks cause I was too young haha) waiting to feel that elation and ecstatic happiness that the win bought me. I know we are up against it in this game with the panfas in hot form and the team to beat this season, but here's to another one !!!
If there's a win at the end of the day there will definitely be drinks this round!!!
Come on Eels lads let's do this!!!

At the tennis courts in Alstonville, glued to a very small tv.
I was 9 years old. My oldest brother, who was 17 at the time, had indocrinated me at an early age, so I was glued to the tiny tv in our loungeroom with our family. It's the earliest game I can remember watching. I'm sure I watched earlier games, but that one has stuck in the memory.
I was 15 sitting in the dad's truck at Fraser island listening on the radio. Gave up a days fishing in the boat to listen.
Was also on Fraser island in 2009 so it's 1 al up there. Watching from home so let's get it done
Was 12 years old and went for a surf before the game on my blue and yellow board that I had and watched the game with my dad who was also a Parra supporter.
I went straight from a Cold Chisel concert to a Grand Final win !
I was there wearing the same Jersey at 16 as I am today at 52.
I was 16 years old. Never thought the 80s dynasty would end.
I'll never forget the Kenny disallowed try.
Cronin came back from a season ending injury. What a way to end your career.
Thought Paul Taylor played out of his skin that day.
