In light of the most shocking/mysterious game threads, it got me wondering what specific games do you tend to replay or watch the highlights regularly?
It might be due a thrilling finish, a particular moment, high scores, a memorable team performance or the dominance of an individual player in the game.
Be good to hear some more obscure home and away games.
As a Bombers fan a few I watch over and over are:
Essendon d West Coast, Round 11 2007
Favourite home and away game of all time. We were 6 goals down before producing an unlikely comeback to win by a point 95-94.
Scott Lucas kicked some huge goals and the final few minutes were intense with the ball 10m out from the West Coast goal when the siren rings.
There's an excellent video on youtube with Clinton Grybas Commentating.
ANZAC Day 2009
You're not a Dons fan if you don't watch this every chance you get. Usually pick it up from when Jetta goals to get the margin back to 8 points. Dyson then kicks a ripper from the boundary line, then the Jetta fumble before ZAHARAKISSSS!
Essendon v Carlton, Round 11 2013
2013 were dark times but thankfully we had some highlights on the field. We came back from 31 points down deep in the 3rd. Melksham goaled to put us up with a few minutes to go and we hung on thanks to a huge Carlisle mark. IIRC Simon White(?) had a chance to put the Blues back in front immediately after Melks' goal but missed.
Essendon v Melbourne, Round 2 2016
An unlikely but memorable win by the 'top ups' which gave the bomber faithful hope we wouldn't be too awful that year (although still got the spoon). Daniher played well and a young Parish kicked the sealer.
ANZAC Day 2017
Memorable for the domination of Joe Daniher, he kicked three including some huge goals from outside 50 on his way to collecting the medal. A good game all day where Collingwood eventually nabbed the lead after we got off to a strong start, we steadied to win 100-82.
Essendon v Carlton, Round 20 2017
This was an absolutely dreadful game but had a close finish, we deserved to lose it though. Tippa kicked the sealer running into the open goal after Stewart set him up with a kick that cut through Carlton. Memorable for the massive roar when Tippa kicked the goal - after the pain of 2016 we were going back to the finals.
There's plenty others, but these seem to stand out to me.
Unfortunately we don't have recent finals success to reminisce, though we've had our fair share of classic home and away wins.
