14.4 against Dogs at Dromana Drive In was pretty special too.
I was at a game at the G 30 years ago when we actually kicked 18.2 against 'Dons and won by a goal. And I think we kicked a similar scoreline 25 years ago against Cats at the G and won by a goal as well, but you've got to go a long way back.
Round 18 1994 - 18.2 v Essendon's 15.10
Round 13 1956 - 13.2 v Footscrays 11.13
Both of these games we had far less shots at goal so truly we won by accurate kicking
Round 2 2010 23.5 v North Melbourne 6.3 we won but had 3 times as many scoring shots.
Round 16 1981 16.4 v South Melbourne 22.19 - Accurate but smashed
14.4 is equal 11th in our history
15.3 is our 3rd most accurate in history!
And it felt good being against Richmond on Maddies Match!
I remember the Essendon match very well. Big crowd at the G. We just kept holding them off and keeping them at arms length.
The North game was great - 104 point victors - we nearly kicked our biggest ever score against them that night too, but Schneids was dragged down in a tackle as he was running into goal.
I was also at the Lake Oval against South in 1981 as a kid with my cousins. We kicked nine goals STRAIGHT in the first quarter, had the game won as South barely got a look in and then inexplicably slowed down, and eventually stopped. Then the Swans ran away with it and kicked an absolute cricket score against us. Bad times.
That Lake Oval swamp has been turned into an athletics venue.
The bowling club that blocked one wing has been drowned in the swamp.
Good riddance.
I absolutely hated that ground.
It was near impossible to find space on a wing.
You had to stand at either end and could not see.
Same problem at the Western Oval and the Glenferrie sardine can.
Never went to Glenferrie to see us play the Hawks, the rest I'll drink to.
I hated the Lake Oval too, and I'm pretty sure the players did as well - they never went any good there.

Yeah, it was always one guy who stuffed us at the Lake Oval.
A guy nicknamed "CHIMP".
What the hell is Ya Mumma complaining about.
Inheriting that nickname from a white fella Bobby Skilton, triple Brownlow medallist. (1959, 1963 & 1968)
There has only ever been 4 triple Brownlow medallists.

I am getting old but the 15.4 we kicked in the rain and mud in the 1966 Preliminary Final was a pretty special performance. Ian Stewart had 18 kicks by half time.
We had one more scoring shot and were far less accurate the next week against Collingwood but still had a happy ending.
Yes, accuracy matters. But how much you are prepared to bleed is more important.
Gotta take your chances - and we're starting to do that now. If we can do it against the 2016, and 2017 and 2019 premiers we can do it against anyone.

Mozzed us.
Not really, we still didn't do it against North and Collingwood. It's all still a work in progress.
Butler's banana ! Kent's barre ! Things of beauty and causes for spontaneous leaping from the couch. Loved it. Ones from straight in front were quite cool too, but.

He has no right to feel the way he did, right?
The aborigines and the blacks should stop crying and just get over it, right?
