Over the years we have seen so many amazing performances, skills displayed at the highest level and at times, the unexpected wins i.e the comeback game against North. We have seen winning premierships, the feud with Hawthorn in the '80s, Lloyd, Longy Salmon and of course Jimmy, still our favourite son.
everyone raving about geelong being the greatest team should watch this, im not a bombers fan but this football is as good as you will ever see. Every bit as fast and skillful as the cats but with much less disposals. If you move the ball like the way the bombers did in 2000 you dont need 400 possessions.
We will be back, differnet faces but same inensity. We will never see a side like that though, Hird, Lloyd, Fletcher, Mercuri, Ramanaskis - mouth watering to a supporter.
Essendon 31-12 (198) [Goals: Lloyd 7, Hird 5, Misiti 4, Moorcroft 3, Caracella 2, Lucas 2, Bewick 2, Wellman, Jason Johnson, Alessio, Long, Blumfield, Mercuri] defeated North Melbourne 11-7 (73) [Goals: King 7, Harvey, Grant, Carey, McKernan]. You are correct about how good Essendon’s football was - it looks better even that Fitzroy’s against the Kangaroos in Round 13 of 1983 from what footage exists. Essendon’s were so good coaches developed something totally new over successive off-seasons.

Love that passage of play from 1:03 which ended in a goal to Misiti. Tough, skillful, fast team play. And Bruce’s commentary was magnificent.
Whata thrashing. Andthere was anothewr half to go? - damn.
Can't wait to be a powerhouse again.

offensive football at its best, when you play like this you dont need a good defence you just back yourselves to outscore everyone.
Ignores the minor detail that Fletcher won the Essendon Best and Fairest in 2000.
