AFL, 1999: My beloved Essendon was putting together a team that would only lose 6 games in 3 seasons, but came up against a mediocre, but spirited Carlton team (one of our arch-enemies for the last 120 years) in the preliminary final (the qualifying game for our 'superbowl' - the Grand Final). We ended up losing by a point, which isn't much when the scores usually get 100+. This put them into the GF where they got killed by North Melbourne... who would've had no chance against us. This started a trend which still pisses me off no end. We only lost 5 more games in 2.5 years, but one of those was the 2001 GF to Brisbane.
Fuck that loss in September 1999 still pisses me off... invincible team for 3 seasons and only one championship...
Go the Bombers!

I hear you dude! As an avid Bombers fan, I still have nightmares about that day - fucking Kouta!!!
As for Brisbane - Saturday night was a sweet as it comes! Now to make the finals.
On a personal note, my worst sport moment was doing my knee during an indoor soccer match three years ago...I was taking a free kick and as I took the shot, I twisted my knee (which had taken a few knocks during the 15 years I had been playing soccer) and ruptured my Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
After a full reconstruction and two further operations (and many weeks stuck on a couch unable to walk!), I finally played my first competitive game in three years yesterday - we drew 5 - 5 and i scored two..but sore as all hell today.
