number 2 - Midfield Superstars, 1986
While Williams received the Brownlow Medal in 1986, it was Healy who claimed the club best and fairest award - a feat he would repeat again in 1987 and 1988.

#6 - Ron Barassi appointed senior coach, 1993

This one was massive for us, it was our worst season ever - 1 win in 1993, not much better in 92 (3wins).
Barassi took over and the club was a mess, but I remember the change in spirit that started when he took over as well.
He was also responsible for getting Lockett and Roos to the club as well.

We played in a grand final - which we should have won in 1996 - and Barassi had a lot to do with it!

#9 - Paul Kelly wins Brownlow Medal, 1995

My favourite player to watch when I first started, loved how he went about the game. He was the heart and soul of the team and was always the first player under into a pack.

Truely deserved medal.
