AFL - The Final Story - 1984 Grand Final DVD

Essendon Vs Hawthorne

Two clubs that hated yet respected each other, the Hawthorn and Essendon rivalry of the 1980s is the stuff of footy legend. The last teams to clash in three consecutive Grand Finals (83-85), the Bombers were desperate to avenge a humiliating record loss in the 1983 flag decider when they came up against the Hawks a year later. Angered by allegations of drug cheating by their opponents, Alan Jeans boys had something to prove when they lined up against Kevin Sheedys Windy Hill brigade hell bent on redemption. Boasting a whos who of football legends, this was an epic Premiership battle that forced the rules of the game to be rewritten. Relive this classic encounter as Terry Wallace, Simon Madden, Leigh Matthews, Terry Daniher, Kevin Sheedy, Rodney Eade, Billy Duckworth and others recount their pain and jubilation in 1984 The Final Story
