Just want to get some input from the fans here. I wish to purchase a few games from "Name a game" on DVD. Here is a short list of the 4 best I can think of. Before you say anything I have all the GF wins I can get so I think some other games wouldn't be too bad and will get me though those lonely summer nights. Any other great ones I have missed?

Essendon vs West Coast Round 4 2004 (Hirds final quarter heroics)

Essendon vs Geelong Round Round 6 1993 (Ablett kicks 14, Salmon 10)

Essendon vs Adelaide Prelim Final 1993

Essendon vs North Melb Round 16 2001 (Come back game)

Edit: Sorry for typo in thread title. Can't change now, doh!

The heritage/centenary or whatever game in '96 vs Geelong when Bewick went mental.

The 2000 QF - football perfection.

The EF vs the Dees in '04 was pretty good. Not great quality, but very gripping.

Round 17, 1999. Essendon vs. North Melbourne.

One of the best quality football matches I've ever seen. Carey kicked 10, Lloyd kicked 7 and Mercuri was at his best.

We were robbed of a great Grand Final that year.

Another great game:

Round 16, July 19, 1993: "Jacket Waving" tradition between Essendon and West Coast begins after Paul Salmon kicks winning goal in two point win at MCG.

Essendon v Hawthorn Rd 11 1993

James Hird comes of age and dominates the Hawks.

Fletcher pulls out to play for his school side.

Great game against the old enemy and Timmy Watson kicking the first goal.

Always wanted to revisit out 84 preliminary final thrashing of the pies. Don't know if it's available anywhere though. This game would have to demonstrate the perfection that they had developed during the mid 80s.

2 More with different results.

1984 Grand Final - The crowd was great and really got us up, kicked 9.6 in the last quarter for REVENGE

1993 (I think) when we played Carlton and had a draw, Kernahan had the chance to win the game after the siren and choked and kicked it out on the full - Love it for the choke more than anything.

!
I was only 8 then, but the only thing I remember about that game is Trent Croad hitting the post from 50 half way up. I think that would've put them in front and they probably would've won.

Against Carlton in 97 if I remember correctly - Silvagni mistimes his kick out with 30 seconds to go after Mercuri comes close to scoring the late winner - Lucas scopps up the loose ball and stabs it home with 10 secs to go for us to seal victory.

Against Nth Melbourne in 2000 qualifiying final - still get goosebumps watching this avalanche of goals - including Lloydy's 100th - Misiti's goal from well outside 50 and Rama's late one handed speckie with Richard Osbourne's commentary 'Showtime - boys!!' David King kicks 6 for the Kangas as a side show.
