1993, what a year. I was 16 and an absolute Essendon tragic, kept a scrap book that year which I still have to this day. What an amazing time it was being an Essendon supporter, growing up in Essendon. Me and my mates would get the tram to Essendon station, walk to Windy Hill and sit on the the wall of the bowls club. So many wonderful memories. I remember in 1984 after the siren my father held me up in his hands and said ātake it all in son you never know when it will happen againā it had been 19 years for him. I genuinely believed it was my birthright to support a tough, successful team.
Man, what a dreadful last few decadesā¦. I really wonder whether I will ever see another great Essendon team.

I got into the rooms at the MCG after the game, my father knew the doorkeeper. Chatted with the families of the players. The players were all being interviewed by the media.

Who is sitting either side of (I think) Mark Johnson?
Looks like Angus Monfries & Barry Young.
Whose the bloke between McVeigh and Lucas?
Brownlow Barry! Loved him.

He must be under the table because McVeigh and Lucas are in adjacent chairs
In between them in the photo, not seated between them at the table, but Iām sure you know that.
