95 Semi-final - 10 years ago this weekend

[mightytiges]

SEN had Scotty Turner on chatting about the 95 semi-final win. He still obviously enjoys thinking about THAT shirt-front 

A ripper of a game. Sadly a false dawn that along with the 2001 finals held us back in mediocre-land for the past 10 years  .

What a day, would have to be one of the most memorable days of my life.

I wont forget that win, it was a ripper.

Also wont forget going close to having a punch on with Michael Long at the Essendon Grand later that night also. As my birthday is in September i was out for dinner with friends to celebrate my birthday and as it turned out the fantastic win by the Tigers.

Stayed on at the Grand until stumps and when leaving bumped into Michael Long, with a gut full of dutch courage i proceded to give him a verbal spray about how good the Tigers were and also how crap Essendon were.

I probably owe his friends a drink for holding Longy back as i am sure he would have punched the suitcase out of me
