I remember on the dvd in the 3aw commentary, Robert Walls (err) said when they were 63 points up "If they kick another goal, it's game over". We kicked one, then they kicked 2? So does that count and prove Walls wrong again?

Absolutely spot on.
I remember that day so clearly. I was at home listening on the radio and even at quarter time when we were so far behind I just never thought it was over. I kept thinking "if we get the next goal we'll only be 8 down etc. etc."
Even when the lead went out to over 10 goals I was still thinking the same way. Get the next goal and we'll be a show. It was really weird. Usually when your team is getting smashed by 60 points in the 2nd quarter you concede and just hope the margin doesn't blow out to 100 but with the team we had back then I was still confident.
If you've got the dvd go to the part when we hit the front for the first time in the last quarter,turn the volume up really bloody high and listen to the roar! It's awesome
That was the best 10 minutes of my day.
Craig Hutchison is a better commentator than he is Journo.
Jason Johnson at his very best
Matty Lloyd wasn't too bad either, especially in that 2nd quarter when the comeback was on. He and JJ were unstoppable!

did i hear huddo, or do my ears deceive me?
Two things from that day.
1. Jason Johnson, absolutely magnificent.
2. Standing room Punt Rd End, that joint lifted, I lifted. I`ll always say that the more we`re down, the more I`ll scream , shout & support the boys. If we`re pumping a team I`ll sit back and smoke a pipe. It was like a jungle that day, believe it or not I had a norf fan going on and on about "all of Essendon`s (how can I put it nicely ?) Indigenous footballers" Absolutely disgraceful this bloke all I could say was " Hey ____wit, you need a history lesson, norf is the reason for showing us the way for Aboriginals" complete disgrace that bloke. Funny how I never saw him after half time.
There were fights, songs, drinking,nudity,police threats, security threats,crowd surges,blood spilt,marriage proposals and a comeback from 69 points down.
You will always be our little brother norf , like it or not we part own you.

I own the dvd good game, but not my favorite dons win. I loved 1984 grand final better ... and the pass from watson its a gem and big roger merritts mark awsome.
But my number one favorite dons win 1993 semi verses adelaide, the first half you did my sides trick showing up and thinking you had it won, It meant those guys had to play the game of their lives to win the game and they did. Mr Long you are a champ
