Should of been Sydney v West coast. Stupid Vfl rule meant that the semi final that the eagles were suppose to have in Perth was moved to the MCG which allowed essendon to play Sydney in the preliminary final, result was justified.
God yes. And Bruce McAvaney & Dennis Cometti calling the GFs. Jeez, the standards have slumped, haven't they? Now we have to listen to BT whose knowledge of football seems to shrink with every game he commentates.
Hi sportyjunky I am a diehard swans supporter and this was my favourite game. Is there any way I can contact you about purchasing the full game off you or a link to the full game ? I have watched this game so many times but only the highlights but I would love to see the full
Doug Deep I think they talk about players speed and the heavy run and carry aspect to today's game. Old games look fast because players hardly ever took time after they marked it, they always played on immediately, so there was constant long kicking. Nowadays players have the skills to handball incredibly fast in tight situations which could also be what people are talking about. Also fast midfielders play a bigger part nowadays given that the full forward position is practically extinct.
sportjunky4371 Yeah could be all of those things, plus I'm watching a highlight clip so its constant action. I like the fact they play on constantly made the 90's a forwards paradise.
I agree, todays game the whole of both teams follow the ball like a pre-school kids comp. Is so slow, congested, kick backwards, sideways, sooo boring at times
Essendon were cheated. Dunkley should have been suspended for eye gauging James Hird, as he had to go off the ground because of that eye injury. I remember it was covered up to say it was a punch when it was obviously not. So Dunkley should not have played in the GF. Though been a Essendon supporter even if they had made the GF, North would have still won. As Essendon had a few injuries after this game, and North had the wood over Essendon during the mid 90's anyway
I was there. It was the first AFL game we'd ever been too. We ran on to the field at the end. That's all I can remember.
I was there that night and it's a game I will never forget!
So was I, 6 months pregnant and so overexcited I nearly gave birth on the oval!!
That baby grew up to be a massive Swans fan, of course. :))))
@@kittona8754you nearly gave birth on the oval. You mad
This match changed my life. After this, I HAD to be an AFL fan.
similar atmosphere to the 2005 swans v cats semi final
NICK DAVIS COME TO SAVE US! "I see it, but I don't believe it!" hahaha remember that?

Paul Kelly, what an utter legend.
I'd forgotten 7's tradition of missing every end of game celebration with a meaningless shot of the crowd tradition has been around so long. LOL
Miss Robbo and Sandy in the commentary box.

Played their gf in this game, the swannys. Pitiful 2nd half against north.
Yeah, most Sydney supporters didn't really care about losing the GF to North. THIS was the game!
What a game! Go Swans!
PLUGGER!!!!!!
I am dons fan and this breaks my heart
Thank you
Gee they really let that clock run on, how long did the quarter go for to let Sydney win
have you got the 96* gf game, can't find it anywhere
Its interesting that people say the games a lot faster now. Looks every bit as quick if not more quicker than today's game

Doug Deep Also the camera work has become a lot better, lol back then it made the game look faster on tv by moving really fast.

goal kicking accuracy was about the same, if not better - you could trust a player to kick a goal from 30 out, nowadays its hard to do that

If Essendon had gone through North would of smashed them I wonder has anyone got the full match uploaded?
14:23 lol
Haha, funny. And look, there's the great, late, much lamented Kenny right behind them. What a feller he was RIP.
26:00 Lockett marks then #47 runs over the mark. Missed 50m penalty?
haggai samuelson only a 50 if the ump had set the mark which he hadn't. Coming from a Swans fan who wished it was too. 😁
