Claim to fame: Won a 1994 Adelaide double season pass through a Foodland competition, I was 8 and we couldn't afford to travel the 9 hr round trip every second week so I got to see one game where the Crows got flogged by the Hawks by 97 pts and my bro got to go see the Crows thump the Bombers by ten goals later in the season, still spewing!

Favourite Crows Moment: 1997 Grand Final win without doubt, my brother went out the front yard and played the club song on his trumpet lol!

Just reading through this thread years later. What's the deal with Macca19 did he defect to Port. Or did he always swing both ways?

He was a Crows supporter until Port got into the AFL.

Has very good information regarding the early 90s Crows period.

Tribey is the one who switched.

Here it is, ladies and gents. What better way to get to know your fellow posters and laugh at their expense (possibly)... I have put myself on the line first up.

Simply copy and paste the question template below...

Give it a go, you know you want to.

First Name: Vern

Age: 46

Occupation: gainfully employed

Fave TV Show: pawn stars

Fave Band: at the moment - flight of the conchords

Nerd, Jock, Bogan or Other: nerd with bogan tendencies

Favourite Crows Player: young Charles and our Skipper

How many inches... is your plasma: don't have one

Fave BF Poster: still looking

Claim to fame: whilst working in a bookstore I had the pleasure of setting up a table and chair for Donald Neil Kerley's book signing. I tried to be staunch, tough, but probably came across as a teenage girl.

Favourite Crows Moment: 1. travelling to Windy Hill in an XD with two mates to see the Crows' first game in Melbourne. We arrived at the ground early. We carefully chose our spot - close to the hydration shed and the loos. Ten minutes before the bounce a group of seriously large beasts surrounded us. They were known as the 'Grog Squad' - staunch Essendon supporters - one lad had 'I hate Collingwood' tattooed along his arm! Great lads, good fun, we had a ball!

2. 1998 Grand Final - three of us drove to Melbourne with two grand final tickets. We managed to procure another ticket outside the G. A gutsy win! A cherished day.

Secret Shame: having a scrap with some unruly Port supporters as the ball was bounced at Showdown I. The attending officers kindly escorted them away. The fact we lost the game, is still to this day, shameful.

Fold or Scrunch: if i'm using paper - scrunch.

Last song stuck in your head: business time

Tattoos: none

Fave commentators: Ian Day, Knuckles, Rex, BT & Skull.

Well this is my first ever post, hope it works.
