absolutely fantastic day... one game i will never forget for as long as i live... even as a 12 year old it sticks in my head like anything...

can someone please post some footage of the 94 final against the dogs when gary went wild... such a magic day, was almost choked by an old bulldogs witch...

It's one of our best!

The Carlton fans were mouthing off all day.

Whopper's goal was unreal.

Green was amazing. One of the best games from a first season player. Bruce went okay as well! Good times

Thanks for the reminder.

Someone started a thread on this last year during the dark & desperate times of 2008.

Man, two years from now I see it again, not maybe against the Blues as they will peak then but to other teams.

Ahh.... Good times ahead.

I had the Sunday Herald Sun sports section front cover on my wall for years after that day.

The headline was GREEN DAY with a picture of a young fresh faced Brad leaping for joy.

Though I must say my favourite all time sports section cover was after we beat St. Kilda in the '98 finals when Lyon missed and it's him in a suit hugging a clearly elated Farmer with FRIDAY ON THEIR MINDS underneath.

**** I wish I'd kept all that shit.

Man. I spent that year totally out of my mind on pot, booze and acid.

I don't remember a thing about that game, can't even remember watching it. Sad. Thank goodness I quit all that noise (except for beer) so I could take in the next few decent-ish seasons.

The Grand Final that year sorta wrecks this moment for me. I was shattered when that day came, first Grand Final I had seen them in and not only did they lose, they were belted. I hope I never have to go through that again, next Grand Final me make, We MUST WIN!

TBH i think going into that GF we all knew we were going to lose. No-one was going to beat Essendon that year. We were the P.Adelaide of 2007 lucky to be there..

You're right Fairtex09 we were never going to win, but I don't think we were lucky to be there. We finished 3rd, beat second and smashed fourth in the Prelim. Its just that Essendon were so much better than everyone else.

And the last three seasons haven't made you fall off the wagon? Jesus - you should be somebody's sponsor.

Worst dummy ever in that passage of play, shocking defending.

It was still a great couple of months. I think we won 10 of 11 going into the finals, with that solitary loss by a point to North. The Carlton win was as good as any, had a weeks break, smashed North on the Friday night with Farmer kicking 8, then on the Monday night Woewoding won the Brownlow, and then the rest of the week was a huge build up the big match. Sure we lost, and we were never going to win, but it was as exciting as hell!

 

[Supermercado]

We went pretty close in the H&A season - closer than most - and plenty of experts were tipping us. Sure they were probably trying to keep it interesting but god damn it I got sucked in.

 

[swjmfc]

A mate of mine who barracks for Essendon always says that he was worried on GF day because they only beat us by 13 points during the season and we were without Farmer. Based on the pessimism that we all have about our teams' chances, he though it equated to a 50/50 ball game.

We were flying. I remember having a boozey chat to a Richmond player before round 22 and he thought the Dees were absolutely flying and really up and about.

Ahh, I think I've teared up a little bit just thinking about those days.

The week previous when we flogged Adelaide and Farmer ran riot the headline was 'Farmer and the Scare Crows' being 12 at the time I lolled...

And after that game I went to my year 12 formal and got amongst it. Jeez, one of the very best days of my life. Winning finals footy, booze and birds, doesn't get much better than that...

 

[Fairtex09]

ahh yes 2000 was a crazy year being 9 and all... GF day got absolutly smashed.. good times

 

[Tulip]

my first ever game, barely remember unfortunately
