Pardon my ignorance, who is the player kicking the goal ?

My allegiance in the northern code used to lie with the North Sydney Bears. They did the same sort of thing at that time - had the local high school band play after each try. Mercifully from that perspective, the Bears didn't score that often.

A St Kilda player

That instrumental burst every time Gold Coast kicked a goal gave me the irrits (see I know some Aussie words!) in our game with them....

It's one of the reasons I don't get cricket. My first experience was at a game where every six I copped a dose of the Black Eyed Peas right in the lughole....

Roar of the crowd, all I want to hear...

Gee I sound like a grumpy old bint!

Is it Greg Packham?

I would definately have been at the game. Nice to see Jeff Dunne and Simon O'Donnell.

I'll take a guess and say Simon Meehan. Notice Barry Breen give him a rev up after he kicked the goal.

Safe to say that who ever it was didn't go on to have a great VFL career.

Love the expression on the kid's face playing the violin.

It aways makes me laugh when you start a sentence that way.

Obviously the girl playing the violin supports Carlscum and is disgusted her team is only winning by 4 goals, not to mention she has to play the theme song.
Could be worse, imagine if they forced a local school choir to sing the Freo theme song after every goal.
Anyone doing that should have heir working with children accreditation stripped immediately.

Good grief: another Bears fan on the forum! I recall the band! At least there was a connection: John Gray, one of the top Norths players, was a music teacher at the said school (interestingly, he was also a bit of thug who didn't mind dealing out the occasional Liverpool kiss to opponents).

Supporting the Bears (whose only premierships were achieved before the Harbour Bridge was opened) for the several decades before they were dumped from the NRL desensitized me to the pain and disappointment of the last few finals series.

But there are plans afoot for the Bears to return to the NRL. I think I'm over it all now, but I do wish them well.

BTW there are still plans afoot for the Bears

It reminds me of half time at western oval when a school band would walk around the ground playing while the cheer squad carried a blanket to collect money . There was always a fat kid playing the Tuba that you would throw a few coins at . Back in the "Good Ole Days "

Yep, remember 'em in front of the social club. Does anyone remember the "Saints Sweethearts"? Our answer to the "Bluebirds"? My mates & I were very excited about their debut. The oldest turned out to be about 9 years old

Reckon Hinchy & that crowd protesting about "toddlers in tiaras" would have had a field day! But the kids had fun doing it, and things were less complicated back then.

I was on the Grizzlies as well. Used to sit in the Fig as a kid.

John Gray was a SUPERB thug.

So too Donny McKinnon and Stevie Mayoh.

I used to love little Paul McCaffery and Mitch Cox in particular.

I willed them premiership-ward when Florimo was a player and Fairleigh, Far Side Larson, and Billy Moore were up and about and Halligan was knocking them over from everywhere, but it wasn't to be.

Unlike St K, the Bears were never really good enough.

Best home ground ever, and one I got to play cricket on a fair bit when I was older.

Geez... I'm getting all misty-eyed....
