A few come to mind the 1996 GF win over EP by 2pts - but you did say H and A game so for me it would be 1981. Marlboro had offered $20,000 to any WAFL side if they could win 12 in a row. We had won 11 and had Swans at home for the last game of the H and A season. Similar to last year Swans and Claremont had been the form sides and all the games had been close. The oval was packed, some 18,000 hard to believe now but a few times in that era the crowd hit 15-18,000.

The tigers were off. Phil Krakouer was knocked out and was coughing up blood. Jimmy was frantic and noticeably upset. He went quiet. Last quarter, Swans in front late in the game by around 15pts until one J Krakouer came to life including a match winning snap around his body to the railway end to put us in front.

I will never forget looking over to the members wing and seeing every single Claremont fan jumping for joy. Siren went we won by a small margin and collected $20,000 which was massive back in 81. We went on to win the GF against Souths. Definitely the best year for the club IMO. Ralphy kicked over 100, Malaxos kicked 80 odd as did Brett Farmer, the Krakouer bros, Shorty Daniels, Wayne Blackwell - what a side!
