Esse-don fans, you do realise you've lost your last 7 games by an average of 51 points right?

[Barry_Badrinath]

Because all I see is Esse-don hype and predictions of top 4 and finals. Every single Bomber supporter in the predictions thread has their team playing finals. You seriously think the recruitment of an 800k/year seagull is going to save you?

Here are your last 7 games:

67 point loss to Geelong
94 point loss to Hawthorn
4 point loss to Adelaide
24 point loss to Norf
96 point loss to Carlton
45 point loss to Richmond
32 point loss to Collingwood

Average: 51.71 points

And this is excluding your embarrassing loss against Melbourne. Why do you flogs think your hack mob is anything but a bottom 10 side? The only Melbourne based club that you guys have bragging rights over is the Dogs. Every other Victorian based club has beaten you in your most recent encounter.

Why are you flogs so deluded that you seriously think your club was the only one to have injuries? Hell when Richmond *******ed your shittruck arses in round 22 the two clubs injury lists looked like this:

Fletcher, Ryder, Winderlich, McVeigh, Howlet, Carlisle, Myers, Davis
Grimes, Vickery, Foley, Conca, Griffiths, King, Arnott, Webberley

From that you can see that Richmond was missing just as much (probably more) quality than the Bombers, yet the scoreline read 102-57. Your hack mob was hammered. 70+ inside 50's to 40, ~400 disposals to ~290, 120 marks to 60.

What gives? Why are you flogs talking yourself up like you're the next superpower? I'd compare you to 2009 tank mode Demons, but they at least showed some fight and won some games. Your club hasn't won a game since July the 14th.

Explain yourselves.

They probably have the 2nd worst list in Victoria

Yep.

Murphy our for 6
Judd out for 5
Carrazzo out for 8
Jamison out for 6
Yarran out for 4
Henderson out for 11
Waite out for 11
Simpson out for 3
Kreuzer out for 2
Laidler out for the year

That's an injury list. Not soft tissue injuries to plodder midfielders like Winderlich, Howlett and Myers or overated hacks like Gurley and Pears. Carlton actually had quality players missing from their side.

plus they had the brownlow medalist among their ranks and are banking on a 40 year old to continue to hold their defence together.

Laidler and Yarran are ordinary, but they are easily best 10-15 for the Bummers. All other bolded players would be top 5 at the Bummers.

 

[Tiger2709]

But they have the Messiah Jimmy Hird how can they go wrong with a coach with such rich experience and grounding in the coaching arts?

I like it how much they hype up their bog average side then laugh at Richmond supporters for being optimistic looking into next year.
We will finish above them.

What I like even more is the ejaculation levels reached before round 12 every season.

Don't forget the fact that Garlett and Gibbs both played every game... that did irreparable damage to Carlton's season

For Kreuzer, Simpson, Henderson, Jamison and Carrazzo yes. That's getting off topic though.

We play half a season and still finish ahead of the toofless Tiges. I'd rather get smacked by 100 points to Carlton than suffer the humiliation of losing to Gary Ablett jnr & Friends year after year, from games that should be played at the MCG - only you're so poor you have to sell home games interstate just to get out of your debt ridden situation. Your 5 year plan is already a failure and next year when you once again don't play finals, Dimma will be sacked and you'll be back to square one. Recruiting spuds like Lonergan and Petterd isn't going to get you anywhere.

Your club are the loveable losers of the AFL and that won't change in 2013.

How did it feel to lose your last 7 and not have a win since July?

 

[Brown n Gold]

Add to last years capitulation the complete embarrasment that have been the last 8 years... 2 finals for an average loosing margin of around 80 pts per game...

Has there ever been a bigger bunch of front runners, love the fast track in March, April, May... by June it is starting to get too cold and wet, by July the tough footy kicks in and the Bombers check out...

Rather than sling mud back at Richmond for the OP how about defend the recent history of your Windy Hill evicted arses!!

Lol. This is the delusion I'm talking about. You Bomber flogs think you're flag favourites based on the first 9 games, yet you haven't even considered the draw. Look at the Bombers wins:

2 point win over North (8th)
25 point win over Port (14th - just got over them at home)
17 point win over Gold Coast (17th)
30 point win over Carlton (10th)
1 point loss to Collingwood

So after 5 rounds your flag favourites had beaten nobody of note. They then flogged Brisbane (who didn't though? Seriously have a look at their results against teams above them, it's worse than the Gold Coast against those same teams).

They then flogged a West Coast side (5th, not even top 4) that was decimated by injury at home. They scraped out a small win over Richmond (12th) despite being dominated in terms of possesion then knocked over GWS. What champions.

The reason the Bombers only played half a season was because all their tough games were scheduled for the back half. The played the entire year but were just shithouse when the heat got turned up. Not a single top 4 side was beaten last year.
