Essendon vow enough is enough

[Gavin Excell]

Next week the story will be about how Jake Stringer has learnt to love running, has had the preseason of his life and is ready to tear the competition apart.

Then a few second half fade outs, 2nd quarter huffing and puffing and a soft tissue injury in one of the early rounds.

The thing is he is eminently capable of playing well
I remember v Geelong early in the season last year he played stints in the midfield and was electric

That’s not funny ..you know

Yes it was

 

[VinnieB]

I think they could be the big surprise of 2024. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are playing finals footy.

 

[mick500]

Funny. Essendon "mediocrity isn't enough" quoting a totally mediocre player and coach in Redman and Scott

I don't think it would be that surprising if they made the finals. They were only 2 games out last season and you would think they have improved their team.

Winning a final would be the greatest shock in AFL history

If they finished 8 and Carlton 5 I would be conflicted, not gonna lie

We all would. Someone bombing the MCG would probably be the best option

If Brad Scott guides essendon to a prelim final, that does mean that essendon at least won a final?

according to Bigfooty's gatekeepers that's all that matters

Same old shit from my club, shut up and put up or don't talk.. Most Essendon supporters would prefer silence and wins than yelling and mediocrity

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Same old s**t from my club, shut up and put up or don't talk.. Most Essendon supporters would prefer silence and wins than yelling and mediocrity

Not winning a final for over 20 years isn't mediocre Yoda. Not winning a final for over 20 years would kill to be mediocre.

Don’t let those last few games last season worry you.
Just had a couple of off days … could happen to anyone …

New year, same claim.

I mean, I'm all for players pulling their finger out and improving, but it's very easy to talk big in the pre-season. Doing it during the season would be the go, then talk....

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

It amused me
Thats what matters

This is what I say to the women.

I have my reservations about teams who '' vow '' to do certain things. Or maybe It could be a good omen. The reason being after we touched up Fremantle in the 2022 semi final. They came out after the game and said

'' We vow to win the 2023 Premiership ''

They didn't play finals and we won the Premiership. I would very much like for history to repeat.

How about those Pies eh?

According to Redman it is time for the players to take responsibility for winning games, which begs some very serious questions about who he thought was responsible during the previous 8 years of his career.

So many teams who didn't play finals in 2023 are saying they will make finals this season. I'm wondering who is falling out to make way for them all? Or has the final 8 been quietly expanded by the AFL?

So many fans and observers saying this team and that team has improved over summer, but can someone give me a list of 2023 finalists that have become worse over the off season, other than the Dees

Is this main board worthy?

Mods please relocate to the appropriate place on the North Melbourne board.
