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 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.

My guy you are doing it wrong.
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.
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'

Crazy how Essendon fans think they "didn't need Dunkley" and that it was right not to trade for him.
It's because they don't have players like Dunkley that their club has been such a failure. He is a far better player than every one of their midfielders not called Merrett.

Are you kidding, he wanted to come, we wanted him. Dogs wouldn’t deal with dodoro.
Oh yeah, 16-1.

In the last 58 years: 4-1
As if Dunkley would be winning a premiership with us. Our list is nowhere near it. Was the right decision in the end because we're not a Dunkley away from a premiership.

No, what happened was Dodoro refused to negotiate with the club's future first rounder, stating on radio multiple times Essendon's 2021 first round pick was absolutely off the table.
The Bulldogs were never going to negotiate with your 2020 picks because they were matching points on Ugle-Hagan.
You missed out because Dodoro was unreasonable. In the end you got Ben Hobbs and lost out on picking up an excellent footballer.
Do you think our list is a Dunkley away from a premiership?

What kind of stupid reasoning is this?
You think that if one recruit isn't the solitary difference between where you are now and winning a flag, it means it's not a worthwhile recruit? You know how utterly foolish you sound?
Dunkley would've been an outstanding pickup for Essendon. Aside from being a prime-aged gun footballer, he would've brought some urgently needed toughness and winning character to your club. To say it was the right decision not to offer the future first round pick because you don't think this one player is the literal difference between winning a flag and not winning a flag is laughable and utterly moronic.
I mean yeah, maybe Hawthorn should've just passed on Burgoyne, because Burgoyne alone wouldn't have been the difference between finishing 9th and winning the flag.
