Are there any board members and footy department people left from those drug days? Or are they actually trying to turn the pages? (And if so, they should rename their academy...)

****, can he have one more trade and draft period please

No farewell game for Heppell after everything he’s endured. What a terrible club.
RELEASE THE SPREADSHEET DODO!!!!!!!!!
All in due time.
Apparently the saga is what sabotaged his only decent team.
It wasn't the drafting that made the team competitive, it was the drugs.

Now we're probably due a Robbo article bemoaning the * season.
Red and Black to Black and Blue: Essendon's 2024 Nightmare
Strewth, what a bloody disaster of a season it's been for the Bombers in 2024. If you're an Essendon fan, you'd be spewing your guts out after the year we've just witnessed. It's been a deadset shocker from start to finish, and I'm not pulling any punches here, cobbers.
Let's start with the obvious - missing finals yet again. Crikey, it's becoming a habit for these Dons, isn't it? They've been about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike when it comes to September action. The supporters are fed up, and fair dinkum, who can blame 'em? They've been promised the world and delivered a atlas instead.
And don't get me started on that Anzac Day clash. Drawing with the bloody Pies? Stone the flamin' crows! It was like watching two seagulls fight over a hot chip - plenty of squawking but no real winner. The Bombers had more chances than a dog has fleas, but they couldn't hit the side of a barn with a banjo. It was a deadset fizzer of a game, and the fans deserved better.
But wait, there's more! As if the on-field performance wasn't enough to make you choke on your meat pie, we've got the off-field dramas to contend with. Losing club legends Kevin Sheedy and Adrian Dodoro? Strewth, that's like losing your favourite pair of thongs and your stubby holder on the same day. These blokes have been the heart and soul of Essendon for donkey's years, and now they're gone quicker than a rat up a drainpipe.
Sheedy, the master coach, the four-time premiership winner, the bloke who could motivate a statue to kick a Sherrin - gone. Dodoro, the list manager extraordinaire, the man who could find a diamond in a pile of coal - sayonara. It's enough to make a grown man cry into his VB.And let's not forget the treatment of Dyson Heppell. No farewell game for the skipper? That's about as un-Australian as putting pineapple on a meat pie. The bloke's given his all for the red and black, and they couldn't even give him one last run around the G? It's a deadset disgrace, if you ask me.
It's like the Bombers have forgotten what it means to be a proud footy club. They're running around like a mob of chooks with their heads cut off, with no direction and no idea how to get back to the top. The supporters are angrier than a cut snake, and who can blame 'em?
So, where to from here for the Dons? They need a bloody good hard look at themselves, that's for sure. They need to pull their fingers out and start playing like they mean it. No more excuses, no more sob stories. It's time to man up and start delivering the goods.Because let me tell you, cobbers, if they don't turn things around soon, they'll be in more strife than the early settlers. The fans won't cop another year like this one. They'll be off like a bride's nightie, faster than you can say "Go Bombers."
In the meantime, Essendon supporters, all you can do is drown your sorrows at the local and pray for a better 2025. Because crikey, it can't get much worse than this. Can it?
- Missing out on finals again after looking good a few weeks to go with GC, Adelaide at their favourite ground and an in slump Sydney as well.
- Gods leaving the club in Sheedy, Dodoro and Heppel

As much as I loathe them, let’s face it, are we good enough ourselves to be sticking it to them for missing the 8? I wish we were, but we’re not.
We’re no better
Oh my lord you are so miserable. I think logging off for the rest of the season may be beneficial for you.
