REVIEW: 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 records 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 has something to prove when they lined up against Kevin Sheedy’s Windy Hill brigade hell bent on redemption. Boasting a ‘who’s who’ of football legends, this was an epic Premiership battle that forced the rules of the game to be rewritten.
