Carlton (Part 2): The Great Heist
Description
Saturday September 18, 1999 — A momentous day in Victoria's history. A day where football and politics collided and what unfolded was impossible to comprehend.
But the Blues stunning win over rival and red-hot premiership favourite Essendon was only part of the reason why that day remains one of the most remarkable and remembered days in Victoria's modern history. Because an even wilder shock was emerging in the other ‘divisive’ game that stirs the state’s passions - politics.
Like the Blues - the relatively unknown Labor Leader Steve Bracks was pitted against a powerhouse - the Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett.
In this episode - how Carlton pulled off one of football's great heists against a formidable Essendon side.
Guests: David Parkin - Andrew McKay - Anthony Koutoufides - Matthew Lloyd - Mike Sheahan - Tim Lane
