 The unforgotten Don grows up - realfooty.com.au
The big thing Wanganeen remembers about his football in '93 was that he felt like nothing could hurt him, or stop him, and that he was genuinely able to attack contest after contest.
Wanganeen said he was "shocked" to receive his invitation to Wednesday's premiership reunion, only because it feels "like yesterday, really" that he helped to topple Carlton.
Now in the final year of a contact he wants to ensure is extended, Wanganeen suspects too long has passed for his status as a "premiership player" and even his experiences in that game to be worth anything real to his less travelled teammates.

PORT Adelaide veteran Gavin Wanganeen believes poor kicking, more than injuries, is to blame for the side's sluggish start to its AFL premiership defence.
The Power's field kicking has also been disappointing, and Wanganeen is at a loss to explain the cause given Port has been renowned as one of the most skilful sides in the league in recent years.
Wanganeen, a dual premiership veteran, said the wastefulness with the ball disguised the fact the Power had performed well in most aspects of the game against the Blues.

Wanganeen, 32, has battled the same up-and-down form afflicting many of his Power teammates this season, and conceded his once elastic body was not so quick to bounce back anymore.
The indecision of Wanganeen, who in 1993 won the Brownlow Medal with Essendon, may have been increased by the words of his coach Mark Williams, who has been vocal and repeated in his urgings for Wanganeen to continue.
Wanganeen said he had no thoughts of retiring on the high of the Power's first premiership in 2004, but had only set himself the goal of playing one more year at the time.

Wanganeen dominated the match, outmarking players years older than him and the sparse crowd left the ground knowing they had just seen a future star.
However, none of us could have imagined that within a year Wanganeen would be starring for the Portr Magpies seniors, that within 2 years he would be starring for Essendon, that 2 years later he would win a Bronlow, and ten years later he would be odds on to win a second.
The second half though was all Wanganeen, whether it was up forward (kicking three goals and setting up a few others) or in defence (throwing himself desperately in the goal square to stop a Collingwood goal), Wanganeen was eventually the difference between the two sides.

As much as his body is crying 'enough' because of the punishment the fearless 1993 Brownlow medallist and five-time All-Australian has absorbed over his long, illustrious career, the lure of reaching the 300-game milestone, probably early next season, might convince him to play on.
