Hawthorn Hawks vs. Brisbane Bears. Round 16 1995 at the Gabba. It stands as my earliest memory as a Hawthorn suporter. I was 11. Hawthorn had a commanding 45 point lead at 3/4 time. 5.13.43 to 13.10.88. Brisbane ended up winning by 7 points. 14.20.104 to 14.13.97.

It stands as the biggest comeback of all time at 3/4 time.


from memory Daryl White went nuts in the last

Another one I'm fond of is the 93 Preliminary...... Crows 42 points up at half time then choked.

Bewick kicked 6... a couple of crackers from the boundary.

Derek Kickett was ;ucky to touch the ball twice and thats why he got dropped... did nothing in the finals at all.

1997 rd 12

W Bulldogs 8.2 8.5 10.10 12.10 (82)
Port Adel 1.4 5.7 8.10 14.10 (94)

Might not be the greatest but my most memorable comeback, Ports first season and playing away.

the problem I have with the north v ess won is they still had plenty of time to do it. its not like the comebacks when your down by 50 at 3/4 time. they had 2 and a half quarters.

its funny, because they always so its the biggest turnaround, but what about when a side kicks the first goal, then lose by 100. - thats the same thing, its a 106 point turnaround!!

Haw v. Geelong, Princess Park , early nineties/late eighties. Hawks down by 9/10 at half time and cruised to a tidy win. Sorry, bit sketchy on all the details, but one fantastic match.

1. Essendon were 69 points behind against Roos
2. Hawks were 63 behind against Saints
3. Hawks were about 60 odd behind against Geelong in a game during the late 80's

I thought someone this year created a new 3/4 time record come back? Either Brisbane or Cyarlton against Port?

I respect you for being a Hawks supporter but certainly not for your memory Smile . The margin early in the second quarter was 63pts but by half time had closed to forty something.

The greatest comeback ever was Essendon over North in that year they only lost one match. From memory the difference at one point was 70 pts.

Fair enough, but somehow those figures stuck in my (not very memorable) mind. Still was an amazing match.

I thin Melbourne's against Freo was fairly special. I agree with the thread maker, WCE beating Geelong a couple of years ago when down by 9 goals at some stage in the third quarter was massive. The Bombers/Kangas one was very good, but I think it was an end-to-end game, Essendon was only down by about 3-4 goals at the half.
