Last year we led them four goals half way through the last - still muffed it.

One of those games three goals in 5 minutes will do it.

Fear it will be them.

Been following Melbourne too long

Daniher marks everything - wheres our GWH?

This will end up an inverse of last year's result. Essendon dominate everything except the scoreboard but end up losing by a point.

This year it's our turn.

Sometimes you're a windscreen. Sometimes you're an insect. Gotta do as much damage while you're windscreen.

Thank God for VB

32 C in Ho Chi Minh

Doug Heywood: "...and Fitzsimmons to Flower is good football."

Love it when Sellers unloads on ABC.

Never saw the best of Judd - generally blanketed by Jmac

He wanted Eagles compensated as well when he departed. Carlton coughed up Kennedy.

Who would we have sent West? Matthew Bate?

I was at the Eagles loss. Not a great effort by us as they had to fly to Victoria three weeks in a row.

Not sure where they played R22 - may have been in Vic as well.

Recall also that VFL Park was notorious for tiring sides out cos of its huge dimensions.

So all the more credit to WCE.

Dammit.

Punching the air in Vung Tau.

Who was on Dalhaus early?

Returned for two weeks of turgid displays against Freo and Swans.

Guess I'll check progress scores from Vung Tau Beach.

This Hawthorn domination is becoming near as bad as our 1973 - 85 record.

Great Analysis.

Hawks weren't hurt by drafting Buddy, Roughead and Cyril.

Cats also got Selwood, Bartel and co. Moved the earth for Ottens.

Both clubs both lost "best player in the AFL" - Buddy/Ablett and still won flags.

How would Hawks be with Josh Kennedy? Oops.

Anyone bought one?

Do they come with grass/mud/bloodstains? I'm serious.

Is there a letter of authenticity from the club or player - with accompanying in action photograph?

How much are they? I guess a Nathan Jones one would fetch more than a fringe 22 player.

Do they come mounted - or in a brown bag like the on board guy here does our laundry?

Also guessing a more traditional example would attract a higher premium than a pink version like the Ladies' Day example.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who can provide me with the info.

Incredibly eight players in that 22 no longer in "our best team."

I have the whole game. I must upload it to youtube

Younger supporters have no idea what a feral suburban AFL ground was like

Windy Hill was the worst i always thought

A most beautiful day.

Beating Hawthorn twice in 2 weeks cost us a flag. But i am always very proud of that 1990 side.

They were tough.

Shoulda/coulda been our year - stopped Hawks hat trick.

1990 beating Essendon at Windy Hill

Beating Hawthorn twice in 2 weeks

Damn, I was offshore out of Sale that day. Still got Billy Bennet's last quarter on VHS.

Essendon victories are the sweetest - ask anyone who ever stood at Windy Hill. Found Vic Park a picnic after that.

In Matthews last year at Brisbane we effectively put them out of the 8 - late in the season. Coupla late goals to Cam Bruce and Brad Miller from memory.

Context of my query is when did we beat top four side - really rated? We could have had a win against a Richmond or Footscray at some early season stage where they have been flukely sitting fourth.

Next three weeks gives us chance to reclaim some real ground.

I think the last 'quality' win. Adelaide in Adelaide last year.

The umps were ALL over us, it was a joke. Given our psychological problems (in regards to dropping our heads, culture related issues, etc), I thought that was a good win.

Last nights win is up with that. Last night we have structure, and it looks like we have a lot to work with.

Richmond have issues, they don't have much of a game plan, they don't play to structures, nor do they have the right personal to take them into the 4.

My suggestion to Richmond would be Bomber Thompson - or Shaun Hart.

Yeah Adelaide oval win one for the ages. Were they top 4 previous year? And it was first win there since Schwarz/Leoncelli combo.

Other than Crows match reckon we'd have to go back to Danihera to recall last win against top 1 to 6 side. Technically I'm guessing it was the St Kilda final.

Nine years.

please explain your profile pic.

If you can see her...what need's explaining?

Under Bailey we knocked off a couple - the usual FIFO outfits. Saw big wins against Freo and Adelaide then we'd get walloped by the same margin against a Hawthorn or Geelong. Swans' coach Roos suffered biggest loss ever against Melbourne.

Dim dark days of Neeld, can only recall the night Essendon win in the wet - not the televised pre-match address game.

Ninthmond and Carlton don't count - or expansion sides.

Flash in pan results.

So I'm thinking - when was the last time we beat a real top 8 side?

Reckon it was QB 2007. And that was after losing the first seven straight.

Typically, Daniher finished two weeks later.

Currently working ouuta Vung Tau - but I'm in town Round 5.

Have Freo, Swans and Hawks next three.

I'll see the first two.

Awesome if we could grab just one.

Closer than it looks - 8 scoring shots to 10 so they're not out of it.

Our younger players gotta maintain the intensity. Bruising, gruelling encounter, easy for tide to turn.

We are not use to defending four goal half time lead.
