Just thought of another one.

Round 22 (final round) 2001 versus Adelaide at Subi.

Saturday night game. We had not won a game at home all year and had won just one for the entire year.

Adelaide were playing for a top 4 spot.

It was raining on and off and it was going to be a formality for the Crows to give us a hiding to round off one of the worst seasons of any team in VFL/AFL history.

About 18,000 people were there - ah the good old days!!

Leading by 3 goals late in the 3rd qurter we were playing out of our skins - but Adelaide were threatening to ruin the party.

Enter Peter Bell. He accepted a hand ball inside the 50 kicking to the Subi end at the 30 minute mark - he nailed it and all 2 of us in block 217 jumped around like it was new years eve.

We went on to win with Daniel Schell kicking a few.

I know we're better off financially now but even though they were dark old days we somehow look back on them with great fondness.

The crowd was slimeless and it was just 'us' - the Freo faithful going along knowing we would lose but just hoping for a miracle.

We got one that night and it was one to savour.

Happy days!
