On a night where Glenn Archer played his 250th game, North Melbourne pulled off one of its greatest ever comebacks at the SCG. Full article: bitly.com/XttBBz
I was at that game. I remember saying to a young Swans supporter at 3/4 time that we would come back and win. I then passed him on the way out looking glum and said "i told ya we would win" LOL.
Still one of the greatest games in North Melbourne history! I can't get over the talls on the field!!!! - Rocca, McKernan, Petrie, Hale, Brown What a win that one!!! Makepeace left far before his time..
a great win no doubt, but I recall a Sydney trainer had a heart attack at the player's bench and died in the last quarter which would distract a few players.
Wally Jackson, the Sydney head trainer, died on the bench in the last quarter. Every player and lots of us spectators knew what was happening, but could do nothing.
Yeah, his good mate Wally Jackson had just died on the interchange bench. Both team doctors were trying to resuscitate him. But no, I'm sure he was upset about the game 🙄
Similar to the Geelong game last week. Sydney was more efficient in front of goal which kept them in the game but we had way more scoring shots. The better team won on both occasions.
