I don't understand why we have not been able to play well consistently at the Marvel and its previous names over the years. Other clubs seem to manage fine but we seem to have been hexed by the place
No, not hexed. Blame Dimma for constantly saying WE hate the place.
Now firmly implanted in the brain!

I think Chris Hyde had a head clash with an Aints player there that gave him a fractured skull. The place is cursed as far as the Tigers are concerned.
 
Tigers losing to Port there the day after Captain Blood passed. I remember being devastated

It's mental now.
It's in our head thanks to Hardwick.

Not too many great memories at the Dome/Marvel/Colonial/Docklands/Etihad.
More name changes than John Cougar Mellencamp!

Def remember some good games there.
Was a high scoring game V Lions back in the Leroy Brown days.
We were about 4 Goals down at 3/4 time.
Kicked 8 Goals in last Q to win by 3 points.

Think Batman and Robin. (Richo and Nafe).
Richie Tambling kicked it to Joel Bowden who kicked his 4th for the win.

Also much more recent.
Had a good win v Swannies there.
Buddy got gifted some frees against Trossman who almost blew a fuse.

Also a good win v Port.
Chaplin got switched forward and kicked a couple against his old side which upset Boak.
(that might have started our 9 wins in a row to make Finals IIRC).
 
What a dump. Couldn't wait to get out of there yesterday. Insane food prices. Warm beer. Sterile atmosphere. Norf bogans. Another long day at the football.

Was that the game where Williams wouldn’t let Port sing the song because they’d ‘only’ beaten Richmond?
Refused to have his players wear black armbands to respect an icon of the game because it was a Richmond player n nothing to do with Port.

Funny how we seem to play norf there pretty much every year.
Notice the draw.
West Coast away, (started the rot)
North at crapdome
Stkilda at Crapdome
Adelaide in Adelaide
Stkilda both away from the G.
The only time we get Hawthorn twice and at the G, they are better then us.

Sitting in Marvelarse stadium is kinda like attending the funeral of someone you sorta almost knew because you met them once or twice. Just an uncomfortable not quite right feeling.

Only team that failed to do so. Even hearing Cornes say some of the stuff he did when he coached them paints him as an a grade knob.
 
Imagine being at Hovel Stadium right now ? Sunday night, cold, won't get out of that dump until 7pm.

Suck it up poor old St Failure and Blandbane fans.

The very definition of off Broadway. Saints in no mans land list wise, interesting off season coming.
 
Every time I have to go that dump of a ground…it’s just ******
