2000 AFL Grand Final

2000 AFL Grand Final

The 2000 AFL Grand Final was played on the 2nd of September, 2000 between the Essendon and Melbourne Football Clubs in the Australian Football League. Essendon had completed the best home and away season in modern history, winning 21 of 22 matches, an AFL record (which would be equalled by AFL Gee in the 2008 season). Essendon defeated Melbourne by 60 points in front of 96,249 people.

Match Summary

David Neitz won the toss and Melbourne chose to kick towards the City/Members end of the MCG in the opening quarter. The first score of the game went to Melbourne. David Neitz, from a very tight angle near the behind post on the Members side of the goals, kicked the ball into the far goal post resulting in one point.It was only a short time after the first score of the game that James Hird kicked the first goal of the game for Essendon. Melbourne's first goal was kicked by Stephen Powell.Essendon never looked threated from quarter time, and deservingly won its record-equalling 16th premiership by 60 points (an even 10 goals), after the most dominant season in history (still to this day).One downside for the Bombers was a crude hit on a Melbourne player by Essendon's Michael Long.
