Favourite commentary for an essendon goal?

I reckon lots would say michael longs 93 goal but for me its gotta be 1984 grand final.

“tapped on by merrett they are full on running There is weston again with a handpass, coming over to Watson, This could be another goal IT IS!! ohhh theyre killing them!!”

Followed by that famous dance he does afterwards XD

Curious to hear your favourites?

The 2009 triple m call of anzac day and Zaka’s winner is a bit of a well worn classic.

hahaha BT “its absolutely ■■■■■■■ down here at the G!!”

Yeah its great. The Jetta fumble as the ball just won’t sit for him just before as well.

Nevermind we had slotted the last 2 prior including an absolute ripper from Ricky Dyson.

The goal before Watson’s “killing them” goal was Weston’s.

What was the call/commentary when SOS threw a tantrum that the umpires would not believe his word for it that it was touched?

All mine are Bruce McAvaney.

He cops a bit of stick for his passion but he is the best Australian sports commentator by the length of the Flemington straight

I agree on 93 GF, 84 GF, Anzac Day 2009 (Triple M call)

I also liked the 2015 game against the Hawks rd 2 (Triple M call).

That Michael Long run in 1993, i must of watched that at least a 100 times. Then seeing SOS’s heart break at the end just made it even more special

Which version?

I like the TV and 3AW versions, but I keep thinking Tony Leonard is about to die on each gasp.

EDIT: video-sniped.
