View Full Version : back to back
Well, todays result has just gone to show our difficult it is to go back to back (given Essendon have lost only 12 games over the past 3 years). We will come to realise, just how special 1997 and 1998 was.
The bonus of course is the cup has left Victoria again. Congratulations, Lions.
It was almost as good as when we won!!!
If we can't win next year, go Sydney!
I dont think any crow supporters appreciate enough the 97-98 success.
It was a marvelous effort, considering we had to play 6 away finals in the 2 yrs.
Anyway well done Lions! :)

I don't think we'll ever realise what happened in 97/98. Some say that it never sinks in about winning a grand final, like it's one long dream.
Seems so long ago that Back to Back was made possible.
I must admit 1998 is taken for granted. I will never take 1997 for granted though.
Ah!! How sweet it still is:D
