A brilliant bit of trolling by the OG Resultist, Andrew Wu:

The senior Bombers behind the Dons’ latest meltdown

The fateful chain of events that killed off another Bombers season without a finals victory were in motion long before Mac Andrew realised a boyhood dream with a towering pack mark and goal after the siren.

www.theage.com.au

It includes gems such as this one:

Barring a series of improbable results, the 7281 days since *'s last finals win will grow by at least another 365.

Also, there are some interesting observations about Draper's role in their last two losses. If only they had an experienced ruckman with a cool head who makes good decisions in close games.

And in view of the circumstances of last night's loss, they should also consider tapping the free agent market for an 'elite' intercept defender. Easy fix, right there

Yep. No doubt he was guarding a really dangerous looking patch of grass when that last kick went into GC's forward line.

Trying to find that * goal after the siren win v University on you-tube.

giantroo Have you got it ?

Legend has it that pioneering filmmaker and University fan Basil “long sides” Marybone had captured the exact moment on his rather ingenious picture box.
When approached by journalists from the esteemed AGE, Marybone gave his frank assessment of the game, where unusually his emotions got the better of him(you can see it in the translation of the article where he politely utters the then unusual word f&#&ed..some credit him with uttering this achievement as well)
On concluding his business with said interview witness say they saw / overheard Basil lighting up the nitrocellulose film whilst uttering loudly “ May your peasant supporters be condemned to the annuals of laughingstock. Your club bested by the noble art of lawnbowlers, and your finals aspirations knackered like a broken down fire heath in the midst of an eternal winter for the bemusement and entertainment of others….”

Who knew hey that his gentlemanly cursing would come to fruition….. (or something like that)

ESSENDON (9.8) BEAT UNIVERSITY (8.12). - AN EXCITING FINISH. - The Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954) - 11 Aug 1913

Although the match was of little importance, there was a fair attendance at the Melbourne ground. The students' supporters felt that after their team's fine game against Collingwood last ...

Sticking blindly with senior players who continually let the team down.
Ignoring youth at all costs.
Coughing up games they should never lose.
Finishing the season with roughly 50/50 W/L ratio
A 9th-11th ladder position
Responding to a bad loss with a great win only to have another bad loss the next week.
Downplaying expectations and then struggling to meet the lower bar.
Talking guff in pressers about 'resultism'.

Brad Scott doing Brad Scott things.

His prematch interview was a case in point of how little he says whilst speaking for an eternity.

A man of little substance.

Suits * perfectly.

"People only look at the ladder to see improvement"

I mean, yeah it's pretty important Brad. You can say you are improving in various stats and areas but every other team can make that claim. Same with us. At the end of the day it's cold comfort. You have to start putting up eventually and proving it with actual wins.

"Their last win via a game-winning goal after the siren, via @cleary_mitch, was in 1913 against University."

So, not long before their last finals win.

Still doing a lot better than us

Not in finals, Scotty.

Carlton getting done opens the door a bit for *, except that Hawthorne get the 4 points and that makes things a little more difficult. Especially as Hawthorne have North to play in the weeks ahead and so do the bullflogs - the other contender that * could possibly replace in the eight.

If * are even mathematically in the hunt come next week or the final round, their blow-hard supporters will have to be barracking for North in both games, and guess what... losing those games to the flogs and Hawkes will actually feel like wins to North supporters.

* have Sydney and Brisbane so it's not going to matter.
