Right up there with John Butcher clunking everything against us in late 2011. We ended up winning the game but his usual ■■■■ kicking was straight that day. Might’ve kicked 4-5 that day I think?
Good call!
I was there that Friday night & remembered thinking clearly that things were turning for us & that we could be very good side.

THIS - Somerville and his mates were just putrid.
To this day I’m sure we had a bit on it.
How ■■■■ was it watching games at Waverley.

Really ■■■■■■ when you are a short ■■■■.
The Fitzroy EF was also at Waverley wasn’t it?

Wasn’t it ■■■■■■■ down all day too
That Hentschel game wowsers.
Wasn’t it 30.6 or something ridiculous and they kicked 10 or 11 straight in the last quarter. I left at 1/2 time.

I don’t recall - may have been but I was living overseas at the time and it was the first match I had been to in years.
We were hot favourites and played the most uninspiring football I have ever seen.
Made for a ■■■■■■ night out in Melbourne on a rare trip back.
A plethora to choose from. Basically anything on a Sunday at Marvel, or any of our finals ‘performances’.

Sorry, long time lurker and first time post, this topic finally got me in:
Best 5
1984 GF: Singing & dancing in the aisles of the Olympic stand with complete strangers in the last quarter as a 16 year old
1993 PF: Not such a big crowd for a PF but didn’t it sound so loud when we came back from the dead to win it
1985 GF: Champagne football all day - not much else to say
1984 SF: We lost to Hawthorn just, but what a great game of football and after that day I actually believed that we could win the GF for the first time since 1965.
1985 EF: First Finals win in my lifetime & even better over Carlton. I can still see that Bryan Wood handball intercept even now…
Worst 5:
1983 GF: My Dad called in favours & my uncle got us seats in the EFC members allocation on the Southern Stand wing - Barry Davis was a row away. I made my Dad stay until after the final siren. Never forget.
1986 EF: We shouldn’t have lost to Fitzroy but somehow we did - damn you Micky Conlan
1970’s x 100 - Any game at Windy Hill when we got pumped - very hard to turn up to school on Monday with the jumper on.

Easter game against Freo a good 7 or 8 years back. Oh boy.
Nearly broke my hand punching the big metal pylon that divides the GS bay.

Dane Swan has two Anzac medals, Steele has one. There’s 3 games I detested right there.

Surely the Dogs last year is up there.
21 goals to 1 late in the last quarter.
I’ve felt worse after losses but that was the most spineless and worst effort I’ve ever seen by an Essendon team ever

1995 semi final was one of my first really bad footy experiences. Was only 9.

In hindsight, would have been nice if that was the worst thing he did to Essendon.
