Bombers fan who was at the game. Essendon was actually competitive for 3 quarters, which was pretty rare against the Hawks from 87-89. Competitive until Brereton walked through the huddle completely unchallenged. How far and fast they fell from 1985, one of few teams in VFL/AFL history that probably could match the Hawks of 88/89.
Bonus clip of when the lights went out at VFL Park at 6 min 26 seconds

Could really go for a pack of super mild 30's for some reason
The good old days and no one was worried . Then we got the activist and The Greens and we have never recovered.
Love it the good old days and no one ever cared about Tobacco adds . Now the Snow Flakes rule society.
I was there
Love it.
I will take the Hawthorn Team any day . The best full forward of all time and host of real team players.
