Greatest Modern Day Win

[TheHanger]

Any other options???
IMO the best win was over the saints to stop them from  beating Essendon 2000's winning streak

Opt 1: Defeated unbeaten Saints, who were hot premiership favourites, stopping Saints from equaling Essendon 2000's winning streak

Opt 2: Matthew Lloyd described it as the best win he had been involved in (won a flag aswell remember!)

Opt 3: No introduction required. ZAHARAKIS!!!

Opt 4: Michael Hurley BOG and Matty Lloyd knocks out Brad Sewell, as Essendon launches a second half comeback to reach the finals for the first time since 2004

Opt 5: Essendon breaks a long losing streak against best team of modern era in red hot form to get its season back on track

Opt 6: Essendon smashes premiership favourite Carlton and sets them on a downhill spiral that may just ruin their season.

does anyone believe there were any other great wins I have missed?

I'd have to say the Bomber's best win I've witnessed was in Round 13 2011.

despite the fact that I am neither a Bombers or Roos supporter, that is the first game of AFL football I can remember watching on TV, got to 69 points down early in the 2nd qtr didn't they?

Correct.

My brother my dad and i were at this game, and my brother was crying at Qtr Time wanting to go home.

But nothing can go past the 2000 Grand Final after the season we had.

For the past 5 years.

Essendon vs West Coast + Sydney 2007 - the 2 grand finalists and we beat them both by 1 point.

that Anzac win come from behind to beat a high flying magpie, that was frantic, great!

[Ziplock]

what about greatest modern day defeats?


although I suppose all those will be topped tonight when GWS steamrolls your pretending ass.

[TheHanger]

2001 and 2000 are a different era in my opinion

[bomberboy0618]

Greatest year that Ive seen was 2009 without a doubt.
Best win was Rd 22 IMO, loved that game.

[coolfugitiv0]

My two favourites were ANZAC, '09, and last year against Geelong.
I was at both games (so maybe a little bias :P) but both were fantastic wins.

[big_cox21]

i was at the roos game with my dad and my dads best mate and his son. at quarter time dad says you wanna go home mate, jokingly, but me being young and stupid i said ''its only the first quarter time'. i did not realise the magnitude of what was happening i just new that there were 3 more quarters and though why couldnt we win? hahaha it was amazing

but for me it has to be anzac day zaharakis special. i was watching it on tv as i was away for easter with the family and i remember being in our motel room jumping and running around the room with my little brother just going absolutely off my head at the epic come back. and the fact that we made our push just as it started to rain was unreal

[big_cox21]

actually just youtubed the last 10 minutes of the anzac day game and i recomend all bomber fans to do it. just awesome, look completely goe then lovett makes the play that sparks the fight back with a run from defensive 50 arc to offensive 50 arc and jetta slots a goal, also jetta had a shot at winning the game but the rain forced him to fumble and it looked like we wasted our chance but we score like 15 seconds after the kick in haha just awesome, also clutch goal by r.dyson on the boundary. go and re live it its great

[Shaggy]

Bah the Anzac game was fixed. Rocco got robbed.
