Solomon was brilliant and looked much quicker. He looked like he had less muscle. maybe thats the key for him over pre-season? losing that extra muscle and getting that bit of pace back.

The 2001 Prelim for Hawthorn was nothing near the loss of the 1999 Prelim for us.

As bad as that was for essendon fans it was worse for me on my bloody birthday!

Ohhh no. Unlucky.

I remmember that crucial play where Wally had the ball running through the middle trying to burst through into the 50 and got caught.

*head in hands*

The miss i remember most was in the 1996 Qaulifying Final when Gavin Wanganeen hit the post from the goalsquare, that was painful until we were lucky enough to get a home final vs West Coast the next week.

Cant understand how essendon won, even with all the help from the umpires, we were all over you...

You kicked more goals, we scored more points...

Just a stab in the dark here...........Essendon's score was a higher score then Hawthorn's score.

You either stupid or sarcastic...we were controlling the game all over the ground, just wern't converting enough....

Does that make sense....Im sure that was pretty obvious....unless you really are stupid....

You did well the week after...nice one....

 

[Donsforever]

Sarcastic but thanks for the option. At least we made it to the GF and gave ourself a chance, we weren't good enough but at least we know because we got there. You ever wondered what might have been ? I guess you'll never know.

Only to lose by 1 point against Sydney a week later. It was a painful series.

I too remember Wanganeen's miss. I cried about both the losses.

Well done Hence the final score

shows the class Essendon 1999-01 had back then

You did well the week after...nice one....

would rather lose a GF than a prelim

 

[kolchak]

Not class, help from umpires....I know your minds fade fast, cant be helped....

I have allready stated that is how the cookie crumbles...but if you want to discuss the 2001 prelim, then I'll give you my view.

you can make all the excuses you want fact is you lost.

 

[kolchak]

Che, non understand. Atleast we can throw decent punches, bombers always start fights they seldom win...Even when the hawks are crap we can still beat you up.

Vozzo and Goldspink were easily in the best..

Steven Greene. What could have been, super talent..
