I thought it was Dream time. But maybe it wasn’t

My son’s PE teacher at Willi high

Was an excellent VFL player

That Dean Solomon gather the difference between us getting Gumbleton instead of Bryce Gibbs

Dyson Sharp was actually still a sperm in 2006 and yet as I suspected he was already a fully developed man.

Can remember this game.
Went with my Fark Carlton supporting friend after playing at Upper Ferntree Gully in the morning. Notable as one of my teammates refused to take the field with another player who had started an all in the first time we played them.

Was going to say best moment of 06 was red shorts.

Haha yeah all around my workplace in norf melbourne at the time.

Can’t remember if it was 05/6/7 when Lucas absolutely ■■■■ mixed whitnall. Have the vid of it somewhere.

Geez i remember that game, in the Ponsford stand, Zac Dawson lhandballs it to Heffernan in the goal square and puts us in front iirc.

Everyone just giving it to him.

Ofcourse we went onto lose and got our liberties taken as per usual supporting essendon.

2006…

Where you go home and update your disgust on the game and/or club on your MySpace page after the game.

Rocking up high to the North game on a Friday night.

And watching one of the club’s worst first halves (we have played far worse since, but at that stage… I couldn’t remember one this awful) against a very underwhelming Hawthorn side at the time under the roof in James Hird’s milestone game.

Yes just checked that, you’re correct, it was in 2006 and he kicked it out on the full from a running banana kick attempt. Always thought it was ‘05 for some reason. I think “Shotgun” Williams kicked the goal that put them in front too?
