    Ep 15 | Geoff Blethyn

    As one of only three Bombers in history to kick 100 goals in a season, Geoff Blethyn is hardly infamous for being one the first players to wear spectacles during a VFL game. In this episode, Blethyn talks about his upbringings in Strathmore, playing in the 1968 Grand Final in only his third senior game and the crazy story behind kicking his 100th goal... twice.

    Ep 13 | Graham Moss

    Essendon secured Graham Moss for the meagre sum of just $1500, but from just his first VFL game in round one of 1973, the Bombers knew they had something special. In four seasons and 84 games at Windy Hill, Moss certainly left a lasting impression on everybody associated with Essendon, winning three best and fairests and the 1976 Brownlow Medal. And, as he tells Dan Eddy in this episode, his love affair with the Bombers continues to this day, albeit from afar.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
