2000 Brewery Chimney

The 46th Brewery Chimney Unveiling Ceremony commenced at 11AM on Tuesday, 12th September, 2000. It was attended by reportedly the largest group of supporters the brewery had ever seen. What did they expect? WE ARE CENTRALS!! And for the first time, the Brewery Chimney was painted with 6 colours: The RED, WHITE & BLUE of CENTRALS, on top of the very camp yellow, lime & cyan of Woodville-West Torrens.

2000 CDFC Web Site Guestbook

From March 2000 onwards, I started saving the Official CDFC web site guestbook. Read all the comments made by loyal supporters throughout the year, laugh at the amusing predictions made by non-Bulldog supporters, and enjoy the flood of WORLDWIDE euphoria which came after CENTRALS won the 2000 Premiership. It's an interesting read, warts and all, that provides a look at how the year progressed from a supporter perspective. The CDFC Guestbook 2001 can be obtained via email request.

 

The Old Mug Visits Adelaide Casino

It was 8:50AM on a Monday morning in December 2000, and I was on my way to work. As I approached the staff entrance, I heard a voice: 'Campbell, over 'ere!' It was Russell Ainsworth (CDFC Marketing Committee) standing by his car in the casino forecourt. As I walked over, he pulled out the T.S.Hill Cup from the front passenger seat. Next thing I know, the SANFL 2000 Premiers flag is around my shoulders, the Cup is in my hands and Russell is taking photos of me Holding It and Kissing It (no smut intended!). Did I have a smile on my face for the rest of the day or what?
