Premiers 2000 Essendon DVD AFL PAL 4 VGC

It seemed there could be only one fitting ending to a year like no other. Essendon adding the Premiership Cup to the spoils of a record breaking season. It will long be remembered as the year in which Sheedy's men came within a whisker of going through undefeated.

On Grand Final day they captured the greatest prize in football as they defeated Melbourne. This was a day that will long be remembered as we relive the feats of one of the greatest Essendon teams to have

ever played, taking the Premiership Cup back to Windy Hill.
