Kicking duels.
Leather balls.
Mouse Trap moves.
Big, f**k OFF Sterling-esque shoulder pads.
Green and gold stripy electrical tape for your high top boots with 4-inch sprigs in 'em.
Top-and-bottom mouthguards that choked you whilst barking instructions.
45 degree backlines.
The delicate art of sandcastle building for kick offs and conversions.
Trainers wearing skin-tight velour tracksuits and tweed caps.
Tucked in collars.
5 minute sin binnings.
Commentating from the sideline card table.
Elastic garters to keep your socks up.
Vinyl kit bags.
Shin pads for hookers.
Photos of players in the sheds, holding metal cans of Tooheys Draught.
Junior Pearce's high-cut shorts.
Seiffert Oval.
Mud pits in the middle of the SCG.
Wooden goal posts.
Hurrying your old man up to finish his beer so you could add the can to your collection.

Let's not forget:

Cliffy Lyons smoking on the sideline during a break
Stubbies brand jerseys
Oranges at half time
Taking an Esky full of piss to Seiffert Oval hill
5 foot tall hookers being lifted 2 feet off the ground by 6 foot 5 props

This is a great thread, so many hits and memories!!

* The "Fruit & Veg Rockettes" cheerleaders at Monday Night Football
* Having the whole in-goal area painted for Oring, Tests and Grand Finals
* The Grand Final being simulcast both on ABC & commercial TV

forwards numbering;

8 lock
9 2nd row
10 2nd row
11 prop
12 hooker
13 prop

also 11 & 13 were I think loose head and tight head prop, but I can't remember which was which, me being a former three-quarters and all. oh yeah inside and outside centres. miss that a bit too.

also I want to +1 on the 'raking the ball at the ruck' sentiment.
