VFL R13 1981 - Essendon v Richmond

Richmond looked to have taken control of this game at Windy Hill with a 7 goal 2nd term and by 3/4 time the Tigers held a 26 point lead. As Essendon did in many of their 15 consecutive wins, they came from behind to get up in a thriller. The Bombers added 5.8 to 1.2 in the last quarter to win by 4 points - 12.22.94 to 13.12.90

The good old days of football. Six games on a Saturday afternoon. Windy hill was my childhood second home. GO BOMBERS.

The Match Of The Day would be shown live in Sydney and I think Brisbane and Adelaide. This was the match the Lou Richards and Peter Landy would commentate.

Windy hill was like Afganistan. An absolute dog of a ground.
