Round 5, 1983 against Footscray at the G - must have been some game.
Coming off a Grand Final loss in 1982, we were 0-4 and second bottom only by virtue of the Aints who had had a 129-point mauling by the 'orrible 'awks.
Footscray were 3-1 and sitting in sixth.
At quarter time, we were behind by the small matter of 0.3(3) to 10.3(63).
Ended up losing by two points.
Credit to a side in those circumstances just not giving up.
Does anyone have any memories of that game?
