that is hands down my favourite Essendon goal

So many good ones in 1993. As well as Long’s goal, these are also great.
“Ho ho, the Bombers are hot!”
“Take me on, take me on, take me on he says … brilliant football Daniher”
“Is this man the best man on the ground, I ask you?”
“And now he wants to cap it off with a goal?!”

The best bit of anti-Essendon commentary was by Walls on 2009 Anzac Day.
Jetta kicks a goal, Quartermaine realises it’s game on and says “hello”, and Walls scoffs, laughs it off. Hope he enjoyed the rest of the game.
But, credit to Walls where it’s due, I do like “James Hird won that ball out the centre and he’s making his way down to the stoppage. If anyone’s going to get it, it’ll be James.”

BIGGEST BENDER IVE EVER SEEN!!!
That and Salmon in the 93 Prelim “kick the goal Salmon!”
I think Ian Roberts had had a gutful at the time.

ABC in 1984 GF.
Tim Lane:
“The dons, without a flag since 1965, clawing their way to within 5 points at the 8 minute mark. Burns beats Madden, but the Dons hussle it away through Williams. Too far for Baker, now he’s onto, Now he’s got it. OPEN GOAL!!!”
THE DONS ARE IN FRONT BY 1 POINT, AT THE 8 MINUTR MARK, 4 GOALS TO LEON BAKER.

Oh and as much as he’s a fkn clown the Dwayne commentary when Reimers went nuts in the first quarter v GC 2011 had some memorable calls.
Watson’s goal in that game.
“The kick skews of the side of his boot. Centre half back for Adelaide, very important possession, WATSON’S GOT IT, WATSON GOES FOR GOAL, LOOK AT THIS, THAT’LL BRING THE HOUSE DOWN”
ESSENDON ARE HOME IN THE PRELIMINARY FINAL, THANKS TO A GOAL KICKED BY TIMMY WATSON. GRAEME CORNES SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISBELIEF, AFTER BEING 7 GOALS IN FRONT AT HALF TIME

He goes for home, he goes for home, and what a way to go!!!
Loudest roar I’ve heard at a game. All the players in that play were the baby bombers too.

Ian Robertson…
" but the recovery was enormous, Fletcher and Wanganeen combine, Olarenshaw’s got the footy running through the centre of the ground "
Bruce takes over the commentary…
" streaming away with a 4th bounce, Wanganeen’s turning Liptak inside out in this term, taken by Calthorpe, Mercuri a goal, goes for it, sits back, and
PUTS . IT . THROUGH "

Saw that in the 1984 the final story documentry

Massive event
Ian Robertson - seemingly underrated commentator. Another favourite moment is when he went nuts over Rama in the 2000 QF.
And Bruce’s call of Mark Mercuri kicking one of the goals of the year in 1999 R1. Just perfect commentary.

I’m really disappointed Bruce didn’t actually say that second paragraph.
