Oh, that's an easy one for me - the first Freo game I ever saw live.
Walking out to the middle of Subiaco Oval in Round 8, 2002 to the enormous roar of the Freo faithful. Shaking hands with the little general Peter Bell...and David Neitz. Tossing the coin. Watching a great game. Seeing Jeff Farmer goal after the siren to snatch victory.
I had spent years loving Freo - and at that moment, I finally knew that Freo loved me too.
I was there for those close wins in 2003, and Justin Longmuir after the siren in 2005, and a lot of other superb marks and goals...but nothing quite beats your first time.

JLo mark and goal after the siren 2005.
For the briefest of moments watching Pav's shot on goal in the last quarter against Geelong this year when we all thought the kick was going through, the elation amongst the crowd was the same as after JLo's goal. Unfortunately, 2 seconds later when the ball bounced off the post was my equal lowest Freo moment (lowest equally with yesterday's loss, sorry to mention it again).

Actually hugging JLo and the rest of the side after he kicked that goal after the siren. Receiving texts and calls from mates saying they'd seen me in the throng of man love. Getting to watch the replay all the following year when they made it the membership ad. Reminiscing now...

Seeing them beat Carlton in 1996 when they (Carlton) were the unbeatable team of their day. Round 3 or 4 I think.
Otherwise, 2000 Round 21 Derby where Clive brained 'em in the last half.

FIRST DERBY WIN...EVERY DERBY WIN SINCE THEN.
and for some reason... the ump marking the ball for us, what a moment in the history of the dockers...

11 goal stretch without the wiggles scoring in 2006, with Peakeys goal in the midst of that.

My favourite - well, high on the current list anyway - is Josh running into Kerr over the boundary line in last year's derby and the slime crowd going mental.

Gary Dhurrkay's goal from 50 out on the boundry in the pouring rain at Subi. Against who and when I don't immediately recall. 1997??

I have three:
* Winning the first derby - I was in Coral Bay on a school camp (supervising) and listening to the radio - and just could not believe it
* Can't remember the minute details - but a couple of years ago there was a big comeback led by Pav - we beat the Crows
* JLo mark and goal after the siren 2005

Pretty sure we lost that game against the crows freoval. From memory we were getting spanked then Pav went ballistic in the last quater and we almost won. He kicked 8- was it in the last quater or in toto?

Lot of good moments, but one of my favorites was watching Clive at the MCG against Richmond(?) pick up the ball from about 65 meters out, running the wrong way, wheel around to his left and just belt this pill dead set centre about halfway up the goal posts and listen to the ABC commentator go mental!
Another was watching Andrew Wills kick a flying saucer from tight on the boundary for a goal and then run along the fence copping cheers from the crowd.
Also, J-Lo's kick against St Kilda...gold!

The match against Brisbane in 2002 or 2003 (i cant quite remember) , under threatening stormy clouds. Brisbane had got out to an enoumous lead and we were storming home, when a young Byron shammer took on Akermanis running thru the midfield,a jink, a swerve then slotted the goal home to put us into the lead. Then Byron patting the top of Akers head as he returned to the centre square and the look on Akers face was priceless.
Oh the J'Lo mark and goal Is probably still tops thou

There are too many to list here, but some of the most memorable include our 2006 finals win against Melbourne, sitting amongst the egirls crowd during our 'away' derby win last year, when we signed Modra and I realised I got to sit behind the goals and perve at his tight shorts every second week, oh, and by far the best, meeting my all time fav docker Hase at last years G/F after-party!

Easy as.... receiving in the mail my first membership of the Dockers. To receive that foundation status has been and will continue to be the best "Docker Day" for me. We became real and thus began the most amazing emotional ride of my life. One no one can take away from me and the thousands like me.

obviously Jlo's goal after the siren, but our first finals win was also great. I remember leaving subi, we were sitting in the perth end, walking down the ramp with everyone singing "FREEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOO", then as we got outside there were 4 or 5 people ontop of a parked transperth bus waving a freo flag and jumping up and down. But the scenes in freo that night......... brings a tear to the eye.
