Round 19 2001, Essendon vs Sydney Highlights

A classic victory. The Bombers went into this game without their premiership stars in Mark Johnson, Dean Solomon and John Barnes, without their spearhead Matthew Lloyd and without their captain and Brownlow Medallist James Hird. The Bombers started badly and only managed 2 goals by half time. At one stage the Swans got out to a 31 point lead. Essendon then staged a miraculous last quarter comeback. Steven Alessio's fourth goal of the day with less then 10 seconds left sealed the game by 2 points. Listen to the noise of the crowd. Here are the highlights.

@everybodywants2rule: Geez mate, that would be a short upload. Highlights from the full flood imposed on the AFL by Wallace. Nothing pretty there and definitely NO HIGHLIGHTS. A blight on the game and hopefully never to be seen again. As a coach, Wallace made a good commentator.

bloody good game and gotta give sydney credit for a good game but just no team can compare to the heart of the bombers

one of the turning points of the match IIRC correctly was Paul Kelly kicking into the man on the mark from 25m out in the 3rd qtr i think. Was massive.

I was at this game, sitting up the end where Cess kicked the winning goal. Amazing.
