Round 9 1996

[Stealth bomber]

Saw in the match preview that our 1996 encounter with the Dees looked like this:

Essendon 11.23.89
Melbourne 12.5.77

Anyone remember anything about this game? I was intrigued by the peculiar scoreline.

sheedy took Scotty Cummings down to the Punt Rd end for a couple of practice shots ( this was after the halftime siren sounded) Gotta love a long memory.

It was a terrible game. It was Jimmy Stynes 200th-and-something consecutive game whihc broke the previous record, from memory.

Bewick seemed to be the only one who could kick straight. Despite the close scoreline, we never looked like we were going to lose.
