Win over Freo 1998 - 11 Rocca goals!

[i hate carlton]

The Age published a 1998 match report on a Shaw coached team in 1998 with a win - over Freo. Lots of names I recall with great respect and fondness in here. 90's magpies were exciting to watch:

I was there. Geez. It’ll be a long time, if ever, we see one of our players kick 11 goals kicked again. Rare for any club now. Different game today

Lucky enough to have seen Rocca doing this live at the ground. Also lucky enough to have seen fabulous Phil kick 11 goals against st Kilda at Moorabbin in 1975.Awesome effort!!

Saw McKenna kick 16.1 at Vic Park and the point hit the post. But the best was easily the 13 Daicos kicked at Carrarra. Went to the casino afterwards and was at a roulette table and alongside Mick McGuane Craig Starcevich and they where amazed at how easily he did it. As a laugh for my first bet I had 5 dollars on 35 and the next 5 on 13. Both came up and as I had then paid for my weekend I adjourned to the bar.

I approve of this thread

[Mr Miyagi]

If we knew how to play Cox and kicked it to him properly, he could kick eleven in a game every week

[Skids]

I had that game on VHS and a whole heap of other ones from the 90's.

Made the mistake of sending them to a fellow Nickster, who was going to put them on DVD and send me copies... only been waiting 15 years

I remember listening to this game on the radio out the back of Coles when I worked there as a student. when it was clear that Sav was having a huge day I
made any excuse to work out back and glue myself to the radio.
must have cut up 200 pumpkins lol

The day I got married, 17 July 1992, Rocca kicked 10 goals against the Dogs.

I was at this game.

Fremantle wouldn't give up, I thought we could lose.

Thank good for Sav on the day.

Was at that Sydney game when BT went silly. On the bus back to Melbourne the passengers were very vocal and the bus driver got the hump and was going to refuse to drive us. One bloke stood up and said well I am a MTTB bus driver and I will take these kids home. A hastily arranged truce was made until we went past a giant Magpie outside the Western Suburbs league club it started again. We got home in the end.
