Good on you.
A lot of people were there that night.
So keep your messages coming through and we'll filter those through.
The night itself.
So the Darren Buick story, first up from a knee reconstruction kicks nine.
Kicks nine goals.
75,000 attend the game.
Essendon come from behind at three-quarter time to win.
It's a 22-goal to 17-goal game.
They absolutely do the night justice.
It's one of the great games you'd see, probably one of the best games of the year and one of the great games you'd see.
And Darren Buick, nine goals.
Blighty was on the play-by-play commentary, for those that have heard this, which was one of the few times in the early times that he did play-by-play.
And it was Michael Long who did his knee that night.
Didn't play again for a year.
Yeah.
So a lot happened.
And as I said, the game didn't start till 8.15 on a Wednesday night.
I mean, we'd all be up in arms about that, wouldn't we, today?
I was there that night with the great father-in-law.
