Danny Morton on debut for the Royboys - will be one to watch IMO. Looks a star.

I was not yet an atom on this Earth in 1993 but this is a game I always go back and watch highlights of on YouTube. I won’t spoil it for the watchalong but there is a goal that makes the hairs stand up on my back every time.

Pedal to the metal again 8 hours down the Hume freeway Friday night. At least I’ve found someone to come with me. Now that a Canberra boy plays for my team Essendon supporters are easier to find. They are nearly all fark Carlton after latching on to Jesaulenko.

Let’s hope we don’t concede 150 points like we did last time we played the Roys at the G in Round 2 92 to give Robert Shaw his first win over Sheeds.

Shaw is a master tactician. I wish we had him at our club.

I bet we won’t even make finals this year.

For anyone wanting to understand more about this match (post game of course) this podcast episode has some great insights from Robert Shaw - there is one cracking story of telecommunications gone wrong

Or worse, runners up to fark Carlton. Inevitable with the Umps getting sucked in by SOS, call a goal a point. I’m still getting over the 1990 GF, this one would do me in

Sheedy’s lost the plot mate. Still can’t believe we had to get Tim Watson out of retirement FFS.

He is just covering up for not getting selected.
As for that Hird, spends most of his time on the injured list, delivers nothing, clogs up the list.
