1992 ANZAC day clash. Essendon vs Melbourne. The Bombers stage an epic comeback in the final quarter. Featuring some classic interviews by Ted Whitten. Comeback. If you think you can win. You will.
I was at this game with my father - I said to him at three-quarter time that we would still win the game...he and everyone around me laughed. I had the last laugh 30 minutes later. It was pretty clear on the day in the last few minutes of the third quarter, that Melbourne were spent, so I just had a feeling.
Love it I remember listening on the radio 📻 to it calling my dad once we were back in the game after every time we scored a goal Then we purchased the vhs 📼 when the bombers released it Good call ☎️ by you
I was there with my dad, brother and uncle. That last quarter was incredible! When Kickett took that mark on the goal line, I nearly fell off the top level of the Great Southern Stand! I still get chills watching it.
I was at this game, just behind the goals at the end we were kicking to in the last quarter. I remember a few of us were saying at 3 quarter time, '10 goal last quarter boys!! We weren't really serious, just hopeful. Then the Bombers fired up bigtime! I remember starting a chant from behind the bombers cheer squad, that had the entire southern stand chanting in the last quarter. I don't think the cheer squad was too pleased, not sure why though. Go Bombers!
Essendon 18.16.124 (Goals: Salmon 7, Somerville 3, Terry Daniher 2, Wanganeen 2, Ezard, Flood, Long, Wallis) defeated Melbourne 19.9.123 (Goals: Lyon 5, Sullivan 3, Pickering 2, Stynes 2, Williams 2, Beveridge, Cuthbertson, Healy, Brett Lovett, Schwarz). From 47 points down early in the last quarter, Essendon kick the last 8 goals in the game to record an amazing win. That type of comeback in a footy match is rare these days.
