i was at that game. the weirdest thing about it was the way the fans around me were all talking at quarter time (when we were already what, 9 goals down?). i distinctly remember one old lady saying "they'll have to play much better than that in the second quarter". it was inconceivable that we might actually lose. there was just an aura of invincibility about our club back then.

Jason Johnson at his very best

 

[Andrew_5]

Yeah, I was at that game too, even though we were down by 69 points none of us guys thought we were ever out of it...

Great Game...

Jason Johnson at his very best

True that, he smashed them that day.

 

[Tambu]

I think it was at quarter time I so arrogantly said to my old man, "we'll win this."

 

[Jesse Custer]

Hird getting poleaxed, then straight up like a 'cork in the ocean' and playing on to kick the goal with no fuss. The start of the amazing comeback.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

We were invincible back then. Great video.

Jason Johnson at his very best

Best game I ever saw him play.

Of course we'll remember this. We'renever going to forget it.

Jason Johnson and Lloyd were so good.

How good was it when Hirdy hit smashed after taking the mark, but didn't make a fuss and played on to kick the goal.

Also chuck the dvd on whenever I get the chance. I was only 8 at the time and went to the shopping centre with us down by heaps and heaps. I came back thinking we would've been smashed and saw we won.

I was playing footy for Doncaster and we got utterly annhiliated by St. Damians that day. I couldn't believe it when I heard it on the radio.

It's better watching that DVD with 3AW commentary. Rex and Clinton were awesome. Along with Gary Lyon. When we were steam rolling them in the 2nd quarter when we were just running through the midfield, they announced it as a goal before they kicked it.

Where can you get a copy of the dvd with all the different commentary tracks?

Try the EFC shop. Or ebay.

 

[Ari]

Was at the match. I still have my ticket in the sleave of the DVD!

I went with about 4 Roos supporters who were all giving it to me. I calmly told them that we'd come back and win and they'd all be rather disappointed. Well, we won. I always knew we would. They were preety peeved at half time!

Jason Johnson at his very best

Lloyd at his very best.
Sheedy at his very best.

Spot on. Some of the best commentary I've heard.

 

[daffo]

Love the commentary as well.
I remember i was working that day, and didn't do anything in the second quarter since i was listening to it on radio. Great Day.

JJ was a star

 

[essendon]

One of the best ever games i went too, i still remember it clearly at the G. i also think we never recovered from that win, it almost started the downhill trend, i think it was the game we ultimately peaked and couldnt be any better

It was our last win against the Kangas until this year.

I think that took it out of us and we lost 2 in a row after that I think.

 

[lmaohelp]

love it!

makes me so proud to be a bomber...


hopefully it wont be to long until we are back at the top dominating week in week out, cant wait, but we will do the hard yards and it will be even sweeter

 

[Rack Watts]

OMG I remember that match like it was last weekend
My whole family go for North Melbourne and they were teasing me at the end of the 4th quarter. That made the victory all the more worth it!

Why at the end of the fourth? Why not the start of the 2nd?

 

[FandangoDingo]

I was listening to that game on the car radio and I remember Dwayne Russell saying at quarter time, "If you're an Essendon supporter within cooeee of the MCG, come down". There definitely seemed to be something brewing, even though we were nowhere near them. Maybe he was just talking it up to keep it interesting, but something compelled me to drive straight to The G.

I got to the ground not long into the 2nd quarter and before I'd found my seat, Hird took that mark, played on and kicked the goal. Awesome match, but I think it sapped us a fair bit, to tell the truth.

I remember being blown away by Hird's ability to just exert his will on the game. Lloyd, JJ & Blake Caracella were also outstanding.

Happy days! ....These memories brought (back) to us by a Collingwood supporter, no less!!!
