History channel time again, and a flashback to AFL Round 3, 2004. After publicly slamming the performance of a particular umpire in the media the previous week, superstar James Hird was under the spotlight from all corners of the football world. But champions know how to respond, and in an astoundingly intense game [...]
Although pretty corny (really), here’s another classic snippet I’ve recovered out of my old video collection.
On the Wednesday evening after the 1993 AFL Premiership win, here is captain Mark Thompson becoming the “Mayor of Essendon” for the day.

No, not an advertisement for The Price is Right, but in what people are already talking about as 2008 AFL Mark Of The Year, Essendon captain Matthew Lloyd took a huge one against Melbourne on the weekend.
Gotta love Tony Shaw – (vomit!) – calling it “That’s A [...]
There is nothing better in football for an Essendon fan to beat Carlton or Collingwood. In recent weeks, Essendon has done both of those things.
Knights Savours Most Satisfying Win
Essendon struggled in the early part of the season. A new [...]
Here’s a fun video of James Hird undergoing a fitness test at Windy Hill during his final season. Since the demolition of the southern part of the ground, it’s pretty easy to get to the oval from the road outside.
