Thought it was relevant since these 2 teams meet again.

I wasn't at this game. Had to listen to it on the radio and remember knocking it over in my celebrations.

I was at that game and it was the most disappointed I've ever felt after a game. I mean, North were given very little chance and Mick Martyn was super good that day.

Thanks for firing me up. All your tears over the death of a dynasty are gonna taste even sweeter now.

I wouldn't say North were given little chance. You finished 3rd on the ladder and Carey was starting to hit his peak. We were 4th that year and almost lost in week one to the Bulldogs.

Mick Martyn was excellent that day and it was a cruel result for him. Really the kick from Leigh Tudor was a fluke in that it fell right into Ablett's hand.
