Cape of Good Hope's Top 100 Moments in Australian Rules Football

99. Sydney and another team go over to Canada for an exhibition match sometime during the 1980s. When they arrive, Warwick Capper's luggage has been stolen. The organisers give Warwick several thousand dollars to buy himself some new clothes. Warwick comes back from his shopping trip with just a very expensive jacket.

98. KG Cunningham says "strike me pink" during a State of Origin match and South Australian parochialism is suddenly invented.

97. AHAHAHAHA SAM NEWMAN IN BLACKFACE HOW VERY UN-PC AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

94. Tommy Hafey discovers tight Adidas t-shirts.

93. The great city of Adelaide falls in love with a blonde bombshell called Modraaaaaaaaa.

Best Fleetwood Mac concert ever.

This morning some Lubavitcher Jews approached me on the street to ask what last night's score was, because they're not allowed to watch telly or listen to radio or read on Sat'dys.

91. Diamond Joe Gutnick spends millions getting Melbourne into the Grand Final and can't go, 'cause it's on a Saturday.

90. Garry "Not Exactly A Media Personality" Hocking vainly explaining on national television why he's changed his name to "Whiskas" in the very worst of the sport's revenue raising stunts.

89. Mal Brown, while coaching at South Fremantle, is somehow banned from going onto the ground and addressing his players at half time. To get around this, they hire a crane and he is lifted over the fence and just above the ground to address the team.

loooooooooooooool

can we agree to hold off angry in the batmobile until the top 20 at least

83. 1995, pissing down rain at the MCG, geelong vs collingwood. gary ablett has been niggled all day by craig kelly, and finally snaps when kelly pushes him over onto the turf and stands over him gloating - he stands up, lifting 'ned' up on his shoulders piggyback-style, then dumps him over on his stupid arse!

...unfortunately the ball is coming down the flank towards the two of them and ablett gives away a free kick; pies win by three points. still worth it though.

I say that it's a Top Ten moment.

82. The Fitzroy Lions club doctor trashes his hotel room after a loss in Sydney in '95.

81. Dennis Cometti referencing Ice-T in name just before half time in today's Carlton vs Essendon match.

80. fitzroy's last coach was my phys ed teacher at high school!!

Wow! I can't even remember who Fitzroy's last coach was but I remain impressed.

79. Former Liberal Party leader Billy Snedden, while President of Melbourne FC, dies "on the job" with a transsexual who used to play for Caulfield in the VFA before she got boobs (unsure if she ever had the snip, through). ALLEGEDLY.

78. Walking past the local newsagent tonight, I saw the Warwick Capper autobiography "Fool Forward" on sale for $3.95. I didn't buy it.

77. Mark "Jacko" Jackson becomes the most famous Australian in America.

i love this crazy sport!!

ooh can this be #75?

No, because it's "Akers" and he's a knob.

75. The year that the Swans moved up to Sydney, someone thought it would be a great idea to get the boys doing some training drills on the SCG during the lunch break at the New Year's Test to get the locals introduced to their brand new VFL team. Cue 30,000 Rugby League fans shouting "POOOOFTAHS!" at the boys in red and white.

#99 is still my favourite so far

74. This classic pre-season cup guernsey: http://hawthornfc.com.au/portals/0/images_hawks/blue_diamond.jpg
