3AW is Football 3AW

Sydney's thrilling preliminary final win over Essendon in 1996 remains one of the club's most famous.

It was Rodney Eade's first year as coach.

In this episode, the man known as "Rocket" explains why he had doubts as Tony Lockett lined up for goal after the siren, how that match was the night Sydney accepted the Swans, as well as who he'd choose between Plugger and Lance 'Buddy' Franklin.

He also addresses the main issues he sees in today's games, the advice he would give the AFL and what he would do if he was in charge of the league's umpiring department.

Join the football Hall of Famer and host Shane McInnes as they discuss one of the most famous 'misses' of all-time on Footy: Then and Now.
