Essendon had a lot of players out in 2001 Grand Final, Michael Long, Dean Wallis & a few others & had a lot of injuries, They would smashed Brisbane with a full side, it was a travesty.
they were lucky to even make the grand final, if croad's kick had gone through and not hit the post the bombers would have fallen apart considering we had them on the ropes.

How happy we are that Hawthorn ended up with the good Rioli, unlike the slow and lazy one you guys got :)

@imogapils Clearly did not see dean rioli in his prime. Absolute freak, could win a game with 10 touches

@imogapils Don't talk shit Dean Rioli was a gun. Naturally talented & had unbelievable skills.

Neither.. Line in the sand came a few years after this season when Hawks were truly struggling.
The marger stuff was mid 1990's, and cluminated in a great hawks win over Melbourne by 1 point.
Hawks had massive support going into this game, however the following 3 seasons of disappointment lost a bit
