When I was growing up it always seemed like we were on the receiving end of more upsets than dishing them out - which stands to reason with us being in the top half of the ladder for most of that time. (How times change!)
But there are still some memories of great days where noone (including myself sometimes

) gave the Blues much of a chance…
1985 vs Ess, Princes Park - The Bombers were a machine that year, but ran into a wall against us that day. Admittedly they had a few out. Kenny Hunter was at full forward & kicked 5, Ashman kicked a huge torp goal just before half time, & Harmesy gave Rene Kink a bath in a fwd pocket, kicking 4. Carlton by 54 points.
1990 vs Ess, Windy Hill - We actually beat Ess twice in their GF year. A typically strong Essendon* breeze was against us in the 1st but we set up the match by being just a few points down at the break. Buckley & Rhys Jones took over in the 2nd & we won by 20 points.
1991 vs WCE, Princes Park - The Minton Connell goal. Just a great 'I was there that day' match for Blues fans. Ended the Eagles' winning streak.
1992 vs Coll, MCG - The Centenary Match on a Thurs night. We'd just played the Dogs on the Sun before & weren't expected to go the distance with such a short break. But Sticks was too good at full fwd with 7 & we ended up winning comfortably.
And yours....
