i was only 10 years old when my dad took me to moorabbin , SAINTS v COLLINGWOOD , it was half time and the saints were up at half time my dad was so pumped because we wernt in that position very often back then , he'd had a few beers so he needed to go to the toilet so we walked down to the toilet down behind the grandstand i waited out side , whilst waiting i heard his voice yell at the top of his voice CARN THE SAINTERS , then my dad walks out 15 seconds later with his top front tooth missing , some collingwood supporter didnt enjoy my dad yelling carn the sainters in his ear , Going to training yesturday brought back so many memories at moorabbin

You didn't happen to find his missing tooth yesterday by any chance?

My 1st game at Moorabbin was an arse kicking by the Hawks in 1982 or 1983. My Dad was a Hawthorn member so I spent many a Saturday at Princes Park watching the Hawks (that sucked).

He was nice enough to take me down to Moorabbin or VFL Park so I could watch the Saints get slaughtered.

My favourite memory of Moorabbin was in 1988 or 1989 when the Saints played Collingwood. I was in the outer and Plugger kicked a goal from 60+ metres that brought the house down. The Saints ran over the Pies that day in the 2nd half.
