Game Review
The Blues would go down to the Hawks in yet another Blues v Hawks battle of the mid-1980's.
To make it worse, we would have to front up again in
only a few days for a 'normal' season fixture.

Memories
I remember this as one of my worst ever nights at the footy. Dad let me sit by myself as a 14 year old, and I sat behind the goals at the right of screen all night sheltering under a tarpoline with two hawthorn supporter while the rain pelted down relentlessly for hours.
An utterly forgettable an unforgettable night.
The Blues were held scoreless in the first and last quarters of this game.
