And a week later they moved on to have one of the most heartbreaking losses in league history :(

I think you might have 1988 an 1989 mixed up … 88 was against Bulldogs. 89 Tigers vs Raiders … went into over time .. Benny’s famous field goal attempt hit the crossbar 😢😢

[@amsterdamoriginalsaustralia]

I've never had time for cheap shots and needless violence in tackles and in general play. A big clean hit wins real fear

[@thepelicanskitchen]

When heart was common in the tigers side

[@glenchapman3899]

Yup the current side has the spine of a jellyfish, and thats coming from an old Magpie fan :(

[@RK-ml2ns]

The result of this match still hurts today..

1988 seems not long ago, but my Dad was in high school when this happened... and I'm 18

[@elijahpeach3801]

Boi I thought this was the actual thing😢

[@Altiar253]

Wow that crowd went apeshit when hanley scored

[@matcole1975]

That shot on Hanley in the Grand Final by Lamb won the game.
Terrible

[@amsterdamoriginalsaustralia]

Ellery Hanley was an enormous value for investment
