Dunno why but I imagine all the crows holding their noses reeling away in disgust but David Pittman just standing there saying what?

Nothing like sitting in the crowd...the game or your team going through the motions...and then suddenly something happens....and you feel that momentum change, and the crowd and the team lifts together.

I reckon it's a combined energy, the crowd and the teams energy wavelengths go into sync and something special happens. You can usually hear it when miles down and you kick 2 in a row , the crowd starts to murmur and build as if you can hear every single person in the crowd saying here we go! It's coming! then the third goal sets it off and it's hard to stop from there...
Greg Anderson was obviously a plant. Give the man a retrospective premiership medallion.

Not only that but I seem to recall Tim Watson had something to do with Musashi in 93 too....
Pieces coming together..

At about 2mins, one of my favourite Essendon goals (by Long)
At about 5mins, Ive been told the Mercuri goal was one of the biggest roars ever heard by an Essendon crowd.
And I miss Bewick
Who's the third stooge in the box with Bruce and Robbo?
Bewick tripped Bruce says 50, old mate goes "Nah mate no 50 not in the rules."
Bewick shoved in back Robbo says its in the rules so should be paid, old mate goes "Not much in it shouldn't be paid."
I'm paraphrasing obviously but you get the ifea.

Denham was an accountant and played like an accountant lol
The job he did on Diesel the next week was brilliant and his efforts in both games was a big reason why we went all the way.
Ahh the memories of Cornes in the box shaking his head in disgust in that final qtr..awesome.

So the Herald Sun's just given up altogether at being a newspaper?
My mate and I had series finals tickets on the flank near the Punt Road end goals, in the cantilevered section. Great seats and here we were, having a great time until Preliminary Final comes around and we take our usual seats, surrounded - totally surrounded by a couple of thousand Adelaide supporters who proceeded to give both of us absolute sh!t. They were merciless in their abuse of us. We just had to largely cop it ... that was, until the resurgence! These bunch of front-running, toothless, feral, gobsh!tes were treated to a bit of their own as the tables got turned that day. You've never seen a more pathetic bunch of collective whining welfare recipients than what surrounded us that day. We gave to them as good as we got and they just had to sit there and cop it on what turned out to be one of our greatest days ever in the history of our great club. Happy days.

Its finals time. Papers always do these around finals. Gets people thinking about the great games, the untold stories.
Its not a bad thing.

Isn't it just the greatest way to tell someone how something got ****ed up? I was just thinkning this yesterday, truly!
My Dad and I were in the old Bay 13 area also surrounded. It was ****ed up but damn it was awesome when Timmy kicked that goal!!!

we were down the bottom of the ponsford behind the goals - not many Adelaide people around
Stood Punt rd end, plenty of crows near us. Absolutely mental in that second half, the noise, the noise.
It's addictive when your team does something like that, hard to describe.

shame our memories of this day are probably a little hazy but would be awesome to get everyone who was there together in here to relive their thoughts and memories in the style of the above article. We could probably piece together a pretty good article/read
Article was a quality laugh.
all his team mates clearly stating it was Bickley but Bickers claiming it ain't him hahaha!

its funny, everyone knows who their renowned farters are at their clubs
my problem was im so childish that id always laugh and not be able to stop.
So when we would be in a team meeting or pre match talk and someone would drop one... id not be able to stop laughing - the coach would be giving me daggers , thinking im not taking him seriously. Not ideal.

Wasn't a final but the centenary game in '96 v's Geelong was (crowd wise) testy early on & just mad during that 2nd half & that's what I mainly remember - the noise - genuinely intimidating & thrilling all at once.

i think the weather added to this prelim day. It was mid twenties and sunny, usually after you come out of a dreary winter those first few warm days give you an extra pep in your step too. Lots of beer and spring time attitude. it was rocking

Welcome to the last century.
Spot on. I think it was because we'd done so well against Carlton. There was just an expectation that we would turn it on. We'd seen so many awesome games that year - The Scarf waving West Coast game, the Ablett vs Salmon game to name a couple. Magical year all in all.
