Our sixth biggest win ever!

[perfectionist]

Yep, in 111 years only five bigger wins (didn't see number 5 in 1950, but I've seen the rest).

F*** it was great....
at around the 50 point mark i was yelling 40 odd to go, we are gonna do this!

bloke next to me was looking skeptical, until it was twenty odd points and he turns to me and goes, how much now?

he's ass was out his seat when all we needed was two more...
10 mins later it was high 5's all round

[Persuader]

Not raining on any parades, I was/am as excited as anyone.
Best to remember just how injury decimated Essendon was though...esp. when Lloyd couldn't do much after half time.

I guess my point is - we weren't playing much.

Take a look at this game 6 years ago this is why I enjoyed it so much - we were in the same predicament- we had no one

Essendon 3.5 13.8 21.12 26.15 (171)
St Kilda 2.2 3.3 4.5 11.6 (72)

i hate to rain on parades too......
the bombers have been riddled with injury, yes.
but they have been like that for a while now, and who else has beat them by over a tonne recently?

[Persuader]

V. good point!

We outscored them in the last 7 to 5!

We had 6 players from that game yesterday, and they had 3.

Geelong beat them by 99 when the Bombers were at their best.....Round 1 I think.

Woulda been round 2 cos Dons beat the Roos in round 1 IIRC.

[StSteven]

You are right, Essendon beat North by 55 in Round 1 and started talking finals then Cats thumped them in Round 2.

And back then Essendon were playing that 'all out attack' gameplan that their fans soon started complaining about.

[Saint Bev]

I don't remember anyone giving us to much sympathy when we had bucket loads of injuries. We had 7 out anyway and still smashed them

and they booed riewoldts continual marking and when we brought it under 100.

[marksnsparks]

Did anyone get to the game early and see the game they were showing on the big screen? Bombers v Saints from 2003 when they flogged us....must have had a feed down to the rooms

No more motivation needed thanks....got me fired up anyway

[SainterX]

My first game at Colonial stadium was in 2000 St Kilda vs Essendon, they beat us by 16 goals or something. Revenge is sweet, we were in the same predicament they are now, even if I did have to wait 8 years for it.
