No doubt that team was on drugs too.  Just look who their skipper was.

    We've beaten them heaps of times since then...

    Probably the only club that hasn't "had the wood" over us over the past decade.

    If anything, those assaults highlighted how flaky we were. 

    Why didn't Ox or Neita fly the flag? How would have Simmo or Greeny would have felt after being left out to dry?

    Some on here STILL condemn Hawthorn for refusing to get bashed up by Essendon during the Line in the Sand game. How dare they not stand by while 1st year teammates get poleaxed and intimidated? It's not like it did them any good. They got smashed in that game I got told...:pj:

    A couple of them was before the game even started. Long's was one of the most cowardly acts I've ever seen on a football field.

    We just spanked them on their own turf in front of their own smug supporters - why the hell are we reminiscing about the 2000 Grand Final? 

    Because this is one of the reasons why today felt so good.

    Schwarz did fly the flag. He body slammed Hird. It was one of the more memorable things to occur that day. Maybe he knew something that was going to happen 13 years later!

    he was a lone hand.

    We should have gone bananas right there and then but we didn't have the ticker.

    We had nothing to lose, they were undefeated.

    More embarrassing than '88.

    I remember Wallis and Long, but what did Solomon do?  He was a kid in 2000...

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
