Gather Round 2025 Non Essendon Games

Remember it fondly as I reckon it’s probably one of the greatest games of Aussie rules I’ve seen. Was manic pressure for the whole game and over the years I’ve heard at least a dozen players from either side comment on how it was the toughest game they have played in

Incredible atmosphere.
Absolutely jam packed, I had to stand in a thoroughfare.

The Ablett goal is ridiculous, and the lead up to it encapsulated the game.

TIMESTAMP 3 min mark…

1986-1994 was the peak of SOO.

Also, that 1993-1994 SA team was just ridiculous

Felt like they had a little more pace than us.
Without pulling up the Victorian team, remember thinking we didn’t need to select Frawley.
Needed another runner.

Epic game, it had everything. If state of origin comes back it needs to only be played in s.a or w.a where the atmosphere is at fever pitch and the locals are going feral. It would also help to balance out the massive talent divide between Victoria and those two other states as well.
