I think its a day the EFC would like back. We lost him, and unfortunately Wanganeen within 5 years.
Did he kick the winning goal in the Ess v Melb 47 point last quarter comeback win?
Wnaganeen did in 91 or 92.
Absolutely gutted when he left. My favourite player.
I’m pretty sure he played every game in ‘92 and ‘93 only to be dropped for the final. There were plenty of chances to drop him, this wasn’t the right time. Should have played.
We were lucky to see Long, Kickett and Wanganeen together, amongst other awesome players we had in the 90’s.
I think he definitely took a mark right on the goal line to save the match for us right at the end of the game
So Wanganeen kicked the winner, and Kickett saved the game?
It baffles me to this day how that team produced a result that I can also not recall against a Collingwood with so many spuds.
Went as a work outing to the 1990 regular season match against Collingwood and Kickett carved them up. I was the only Essendon supporter amongst my colleagues which had a few Collingwood supporters. I put on quite a show for them and lost my voice. Great day.
To be fair Dean Wallis’ hit on Mil Hanna more than justified his selection…
Yes. Wangers does a great tackle about 45m out on a 45 degree angle and then slots it beautifully.
It’s weird, but i was living in Adelaide, and couldn’t even get radio coverage. I only heard we won after Wanganeen kicked the goal.
One of my great days at the footy. In the members with 3 Melbourne guys. Giving us three ess guys the works. They kick the first goal of the last q to go up 46 or something and after a further spray one of the demons (close friend still) goes”gee you guys are going to give it to us if you get up from here’. I’m like WTF? As if we could win. Didn’t salmon get 5 in the last? Only a demon supporter could think they’d lose. Shows why they are nervous even when winning!
I reckon he kicked a 60 m barrel goal that day.
favourite one was a mark taken on worsfold, kickett speaks for the essendon fanbase when he says ■■■■ woosha
My favourite player OF ALL TIME. Absolutely brilliant when he was on.
