This game really changed the course of history between both teams. Even though Hawks lost this game, they went on to become a very successful team over the next 15 years winning 4 premiership. Essendon have not won a final since the year of this melee
His one of the best Football players that EFC had ever signed on. Michael Long, Timmy Watson and Jobe Watson was also. I have my friend from over near Leeds who likes the Bombers. Ha ha it’s good to get new people to be fans of the EFC.
Crows don’t with the games without Kerridge putting the crows on his back. It’s bs he doesn’t get the credit he deserves and petrenko is viewed as the hero
This match is for those who used to say that ganguly should've batted first in the final. In reality there was no team which could've beat Australia in 2003 and 2007 world cups
He demolished a high quality bowling attack without any mindless slogging He played every shot in the book and almost all of them were technically correct. That's what makes Gilly different from other fast scoring batsmen
Ganguly shouldn't have opened the innings when sehwag was there bcz at that time scoring runs in 1st 15 overs was very important and tendulkar and sehwag used to hit fast bowlers well ganguly wasnt comfortable against fast bowler who were good at bowling bouncers but still he opened against the willingness of the team and added unnecessary pressure by wasting 21 balls to score 9 runs Manny times ganguly used to take undue advantage of being captain and stubbornly insisted to bowl at cost of cutting through the spells of main bowlers and used concede unnecessary runs as well as used to bowl wides and no balls while tryingbto bowl fast but his pace was lesser than the speed of his run up also but he used to consider that he knows everything and others are buddhus but it was actually contrary in reality No question about his dedication for the game but he used to take some foolish decision also for eg he decided to bowl in 2003 finals that too against australian of that era any captain would've batted first after winning the toss but God knows what he used to think or did ever thinked also while taking such important decision ?
Since then Hawthorn have won 4 flags while Essendon haven't won a final since that very year. Playing dirty and rough is the way to go because who cares about honourable losers, winning is what it's all about.
