This was absolutely awesome to watch. Essendon were at the peak of their powers on this day. Unfortunately, it was a downhill slide for the club from then on until the late 80’s. We didn’t win another flag until 1993.
The following season or two Essendon lost williams salmon Vanderhar watson and a couple of others to knee injuries , the core and key of this powerhouse team... I always thought this Essendon was a real threat to Collingwoods 4 in a row... History has been kinder to some teams than others
Timmy was the best player I have ever seen and ever will, he was simply magical - a natural righty Timmy loved to use his left - I remember like yesterday sitting with my parents in the Alan T. Hird members stand - whenever Timmy got the ball and went on one of his runs the entire ground exploded - his knee reconstruction cost him the Brownlow.
Yes you are not wrong considering the way Essendon started that year and then had the injuries they had. If not for the injuries they had Essendon could have maybe won another premiership@@clintjohnson2245
Was great to see Essendon winning the GF. Though with good luck they could have had more success in the early 80's. As they finished with 16 wins during the home and away season and still had to play in the Elimination Finals in 1981 & 1982 which has never happened to a team in any other year with the final five system, as 16 wins had always gauranteed the double chance. Then in 1983 Essendon had won 15 games but yet had to go through the Elimination Final again. Though the team that had finished top of the ladder that year North Melbourne only had 16 wins. Not fair as I shed a few tears thinking about, just kidding lol as been a long time now, but am sure I did back then. But Essendon missed that champion player Neale Daniher as he would have made a difference. He is one of the most unluckiest players to play the game considering he had constant knee problems and surguries and missed many years of football because of it.

The fish 100 🌁
Back when it was the peoples game. Not the sanitised corporate product we see today.
have you thought it's possible that maybe people are just more sanitised and corporate these days
This Essendon Team would beat any team in any era. .
not even close to Bris 2001 to 2003 or Hawthorn 2013 to 2015...and I'm old enough to have seen all of those times plus the 80's.
They'll give the Essendon 2000 side a good game
Yes smashed a star studded hawthorn team. Pity half there side got injured the next year.
