Your Classic Matches

Yes it did. I was referring to Hawthorn's finals games.

Hawks Beat you in 91 by 23 points
6 days later hawks beat us by 2 points

My bad. Read it wrong.

From a non WCE perspective I'd say Essendon vs Adelaide in the 1993 Prelim Final. Both teams were absurdly better then Carlton that year and for Bombers to come back like that was amazing

Wrong you are WillieNillie. Blues beat the Crows a week before Essendon did. And 2 weeks before that, Carlton also beat Essendon in the qualifying final as well as drawing earlier in the year.

Both teams were not absurdly better than Carlton, certainly not the Crows anyway.

From what I have watched, these two stand out:

• Round 19, 1987, Carlton v Sydney
  • the Blues played the most marvellous man-on-man football to keep a Swans team that had kicked 97 goals in three games to just 3.5 (23) for three quarters. In the last quarter Sydney had (by my calculation) just 10 or so uncontested possessions
• Round 18, 1992, St. Kilda v West Coast
  • Saints score 14.3 (87) to 2.8 (20) in the last three quarters with some amazing skills. Match notable for huge half-time hailstorm

People forget just how open the 1992 premiership was, with seven clubs having a chance until the last round and even the first finals week demonstrating that none of the six teams in the finals were remotely out of their depth.

From memory the Crows kicked terribly that game and should have been alot closer to the Blues and the same thing again in the Prelim. Reckon they blew a GF opportunity that year for sure because I felt it was fairly even amongst all of the top 6 that year

13.8 To 8.20 backs up what I posted above

Yep. Anyone could have saluted. We nearly beat WCE in Perth in the elimination final. Neck a neck most of the 2nd half and lost by 2 goals. We were up by 4 goals early too. Beat Geelong twice that year.

Loved 92.

I always remember the stat we went on a 4 wins, 1 loss pattern from rd 8 (we were 10th with 2-3-1 record) onwards to the flag.
