    26 2000, Round 21, Western Bulldogs v Essendon

    I watched this game again and it was such a tense game. I was there that night 20 years ago when Essendon were going for a record 21 wins in a season.

    Look at the game we had some A graders as well as some ordinary players that played so well that night. Chris Grant was incredible, Brad Johnson BOG, Dooley held his ground playing CHB and played the game of his life. Libba and West were just incredible, Nathan Brown off the HBF was superb. Murphy played in his 3rd game and Mitch Hahn was already showing signs of a good player.

    Of Essendon, I hate that little shit Morecroft who runs off the bench and King hits Libba in the half time brawl.

    It was a great win.

    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    There was a little old lady in ffffront of us that night and the Essendon supporters were taunting her all through the game. Me and my mates wanted to go them but the she just kept saying "cool your jets, boys" and "their time will come" After the siren blew we blocked the *!*!*!*!s into their seats while the little old lady got right up in the face of each and every one of them and told them what she thought of them. It was beautiful.

    You know North have this idea in their heads that they are Essendon's no 1 rival. Really? The very same cow *!*!*!*!ers that rode our coattails into the VFL after WE beat (you guessed it) Essendon in 1925.

    And I didn't notice the cattle exciters being the only team to beat Essendon in 2000. In fact they played once that year and Essendon won by 49 points but they had 34 scoring shots to 15.

    The numbers will go the way of the 1989 Grand Final, and I reckon the drawn ANZAC Day game will get a nod ahead of it as well. There's also the 2010 and 2018 Grand Finals, the HUN had these ranked higher than the 2016 Preliminary final in their best games of the decade list.

    People just don't see things the way we do. I've never been to or seen a game like the 2016 Preliminary Final, each team had a massive crack all day, the pressure was up, both teams executed when needed to, and it was just that little bit extra we had to will ourselves over the line that got us the chocolates.

    Just unbelievable moment after unbelievable moment for both sides, and then throw in Clay Smith's personal loss, Roughy going down and the much maligned Tom Boyd stepping up, Callan Ward getting his face crushed, Libba and Shaw into each other. And add the bad blood between the clubs, the battlers vs the corporate franchise, the Bulldogs army baying for blood in foreign territory, Murph in tears, Libba Snr in the crowd, our 60 year drought.

    It was a 30 for 30 documentary happening in real time.

    They'd still be talking about it daily and would teach of it in schools across Victoria if it was two of the big clubs participating.
