That was on a while ago. First time I have watched it in full, previously I had the ABC version but that only showed the 1st quarter and a half.

f*** me, now I know why my dad loved Van Der Haar so much. Either foot, 50m no problem.

At half time, the loud speaker announced "all those wishing to return to Vic Park, the bus is ready to leave" (or words to that effect)

Is this actually true or just a shit-stir?

Oh yeah, I watched it several weeks ago - for the first time since the game was actually played. When Vander came to play, he really played. It's a pity he never really shone on any Grand Final day.

I just love watching anything about Leon Baker. That guy was a gold nugget. He was a super player - and played even better in finals.

And yes, the ground announcer did make that announcement.

The only 1984 game you can get through the Name A game website is the 2nd semi.

I'm hanging out for this one as well! As yet, I have not seen it advertised.

I just don't understand why these sorts of games are not available on Name a Game. Fkng ridiculous.

in about an hour from now...

1999 Essendon v Western Bulldogs
If I remember correctly we were smashed by injuries during the game, weather may have been pretty shithouse, and we grabbed a great win.
Was one of my first few games as a member and I don't remember much of it at all...went to the game running on 3 hrs sleep from the night before.
Looking forward to taking it in a bit more closely.

Was a superb win. It was the game where I thought we could actually win the flag that year - we were without any of our stars, and all the 2nd stringers played out of their skins that night. Watch out for Big Bad Barnstorming Barnard taking several match saving marks in defence in the frantic last few minutes of the match...

And then listen for his post match interview with Dipper - "Ah Dipper.....I'm just knackered mate" :lol:

Damn, wish I knew that was on earlier!

Darren Bewick was knocked out that night and did a concussion test where he did better than he did in the pre-season!
