That belmore thread brought back some nostalgia and im sure this thread has been done before... but anyway... for mine, it was the 1994 major semi final vs canberra.

At the time I lived out of sydney and didnt get to go to games often as i was still young. My old man who was born in bankstown and is a mad dogs fan (i was brainwashed from birth) took me up to the game. It was my first time ever at the SFS and the stadium was absolutely packed. When we won the crowd went nuts. I happened to be sitting next to a canberra supporter (the rest of the area was 99% dogs fans) who i am pretty sure wanted to hit me but couldnt because i was a kid. We ended up winning 19-18 in extra time and went onto play them again in the grand final and get the sh~t kicked out of us. However, that game was the best ive ever been to. The walk back from the SFS with everyone to central or whereever it was we parked the car near was also memorable with everyone pumped.
The second best game I ever went to was the first game of 2009 vs Manly. 2008 was a shocking season. SBW, Mason, spoon, dud team etc etc as we all recall. With all the new signings for 09 there was hope, but noone would have expected it to go the way it did. We spanked their bums in the pouring rain and me and some other random dogs fans i had never met and was sitting near were hi fiving, everyone was hugging and crap around us everytime we scored. I think after so much pain it was one of the most satisfying games ever.
After that my best memories of dogs were in my youth. Not being at the games, but on a sunday afternoon, coming back from a day at the beach with my parents, eating an ice-cream in the car and listening to around the grounds. I cannot tell you how many times that must have happened.
Apologies for the nostalgia trip and go the dogs!
