The 1987 Preliminary Final.
it took Ashley Sampi slotting a goal from 50 after the siren just to draw.
Was that the day Brad Johnson did the dramatic dive thing and toed the ball over the goal line?
No, Milne not getting a premiership medal was definitely Good over evil
I support a dispiriting club who have failed me for 11 years
****ed if I know which game you are referring to but another dispiriting loss was the West Coast game where Le Cras went nuts. The night where the Bombers just didn't care. And when the final nail was put into the Matty Knights coaching coffin
Yep, '93 for me as well. Thought we were stone montys to win.
Still to watch a replay of that game.
Oh yeah, and SOS did touch that Long goal.

2008 GF followed by 2005 semi final
for H&A it would have to be that eagles lost in 2006
- Round 16, 2006. Fourteen losses in a row, a hitout with Carlton that was a battle for the spoon... and they have a draw. When Essendon and Carlton are bottom two and can't even beat each other, that's sad.
I noticed a fair bit of cats fans mentioning the 2005 semi final loss. Bit of an interesting topic there.
I remember one important thing after the game that was stuck in my head for a week. Cam Mooney broke down in tears after the loss. Any cats fans remember this?

I actually would have assumed the good times since 2005 would have salved that wound for Cats fans, the way Sydney's meek surrender against Brisbane in 2003 was mostly healed by the glories of 2005.
I think 'dispiriting' should make you wonder why you bother supporting them and whether the players even give a shit.
Happy days.
Seriously, though, is the 99 prelim loss worse for Essendon fans than 96?
Reckon 96 was brutal, more so than 99.
yup.
'92 was horrendous, really should have won if the team had have possessed a bit more intestinal fortitude - dunno what Blight was playing at putting Bairstow on Peter Matera - then again, to be honest I don't think we had anyone capable of covering him really.
'95 was utterly depressing.
