Roast Essendon in no mans land

[Clark G]

Is the days count at 7700'ish?

Still got a way to go before there's any possibility of a finals win given what little we've seen from them past couple of years.

Confident we'll be another club that passes them next season

Not sure where you get that confidence from. Adelaide are in a similar situation as Essendon, plenty of fans and financially stable, but unable to turn that into on field success.

A drought of finals wins: Essendon’s unwanted record turns 20 today

Essendon’s history is peppered with finals victories … until the last 20 years. The Bombers are lonely at the top of this unwanted ladder.

Is there a north premiership one ?

Looking at that I can’t help sing “

Only played for one year at each club, never to return to any of them. I wonder what that says about him?

He’s like Deadpool. A mercenary killer.

Cut them some slack, they have only completed year 1 of an 8 year rebuild.

You would have been 7 at most for the Kangas last flag…sharpen up

I have clear, vivid memories of watching WWF wrestling events that came out when I was 7, I could go as far as quoting some of the commentary.

While I’m enjoying the Bombers’ drought as much as the next guy, in fairness they have won 4 awesome premierships in my living memory.

I still have nightmares about Leon Baker and that last quarter in 84. In 85, they destroyed us even with Dermie kicking 8. 93 and the Baby Bombers was one of the most exciting premierships ever seen. And 2000 was the greatest single season of dominance I’ve seen by any club.

Ok, after sharing that I need an extreme wash with soap and antiseptic.

My guy you are doing it wrong.

You need to not have so many coffees. It's not good for you.

So true Kevin/James. Something more wholesome, perhaps along the lines of an illegal, off-site drug injecting program would get the job done better?

If you think that is everywhere, you probably need to step outside ofWest Toorak a little more.

There likely will be before there is another Bombres finals win.

Not sure where you get that confidence from. Adelaide are in a similar situation as Essendon, plenty of fans and financially stable, but unable to turn that into on field success.

I mean, they have won finals in the last 20 years and they've never been accused of running an illegal drug injecting program to try and cheat their way to success.

Not really that similar I don't think?

Nice ! Good luck on Friday!

Are you still banging on? Christ kid go touch some grass and get off the interweb.

Now you're peddling weed to kids.

This is how you got into trouble the first time James/Kevin.

I only sell poison milk to kids, don't lump me in with those 'potheads'

You must be a real hoot at parties.
