The 'super-flood' | Bombers v Bulldogs, 2000 | AAMI Classic Last Two Mins | AFL

Remember flooding?
The Bombers were unbeaten for the season heading into round 21, 2000. Western Bulldogs coach Terry Wallace decided to 'flood' numbers into defence to stifle the likes of Lloyd, Lucas, Hird, Caracella and Mercuri.
It proved a masterstroke, as Chris Grant kicked the goal to give the Dogs a vital win that ensured a finals place.

Is this was the last two minutes of an NFL game, the video would have been about 73 minutes.

[@iamtheralwus]

Haha!

[@RaviSingh-oe2pg]

Most underrated game in the history of AFL change my mind mate

[@AlonsoRules]

This game led to the game style of today

[@Adam-gd3bs]

Yep the game that changed the style of play forever

[@Groventhorn4]

Agreed

3:50 - would be deliberate today

[@theeviking7395]

This night is the reason no one can have an unbeaten season.

[@nicholaskuecher9952]

now we can't do this again with the 6-6-6

[@mickdooley8994]

That was a shocking kick by Eagleton, Jesus.

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

I know

[@upsidedahead]

Genius kick to set up Fletchers out on the full, leading to Chris Grant captains goal

[@SamsMovies]

the only game essendon lost in 2000. Best season by any team ever. (and I'm not an essendon supporter)

[@kurzges4105]

Sam's Movies actually Geelong had a better season and didn't lose any games

[@mitchepicsauce5599]

what alternate dimension have you come from that geelong have had a season where they never lost?

[@mikespearwood3914]

Fireball Gaming what year was that?

[@kurzges4105]

Mike Spearwood oh sorry they did lose one it was in 2008

[@Lxcifer420]

Sam's Movies best season by any club ever

[@Oweladon]

To think that Essendon played that well without the steroids

[@benalexander2944]

Its been 5811 days since they won a final, even on the juice.

[@bigfrizie8770]

So it was 6 of semptember 2004 right?

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

LMAO

[@buddyfranklin5251]

they weren’t even using steroids mate

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

Probably one of Chris Grant’s best kicks and to win the Dogs the game as well.

[@ad_2211]

This is what Terry Wallace will be remembered for, the creator of ugly football.

[@eijiniizuma6184]

the man who single handedly ruined attacking football

[@yung_sexc7464]

or the coach that beat what seemed to be an unbeatable team

[@markdp1983]

yep, 36 players on the ball and no positional play.

[@Moz976]

Every coach did this but that game was most known for it

[@lukeread180]

If this was today the umpires would have paid 7 free kicks in that last 2 minutes

[@upsidedahead]

That was some game !!! Jonno getting pole axed by Barnsey just before half time really lit a fire under them Bulldogs

[@bradyholmes2886]

As a die hard essendon supporter this hurts to watch

[@latenightlogic]

They won the premiership because of this

[@planetX15]

@@latenightlogic I believe that they still could have won 25 from 25

What nobody talks about is the number of Bomber players who were being rested for the finals.

[@SamDoesGamez]

Didnt even show us the final goal?

[@eli_0214]

Sam Does Gamez yes they did...

[@extraverse]

They didn't. Smith kicked one after the siren. It was never shown on the telecast though, only the goal umpire signalling the goal. This video cuts off before all that.

[@chiefchimp4377]

Who cares? It was an inconsequential goal.

[@psychedelicgoat3464]

Would’ve been interesting to see the Essendon players walk off the field before he kicked that last goal. Was absolutely horrible sportsmanship by the the dons

[@jayfiled]

1:05 Was that a bump ball by Fletcher? Just noticed it now.

[@jayfiled]

It looked like it hit the ground and boot at the same time so it shouldn't have been out on the full?

[@chiefchimp4377]

How is that not out on the full? Going by your logic, a player could dropkick the ball 20 metres over the boundary and that would be a throw in. Makes no sense.

[@doylersafl8728]

@@jayfiled I think the reason it's out on the full is because he was aiming for the boundary

[@doylersafl8728]

@guavacado never said I disagreed with that, did I? I was saying for that specific occasion

@Ash J 😂 their doing good this season. They just need to learn to do draft picks

[@athlonen]

If I remember right, Carlton was also undefeated that year. They played the Dogs the following week, and lost. So the Bulldogs ended 2 undefeated streaks that year, back to back.

[@heathbeveridge9449]

Doesn’t matter we stopped the dons from the perfect season

[@zayburnell]

the only lost bombers had that year
