Think Tank How will you tell your great grandchildren the next time Essendon win a final?

[V_23]

Plenty of time to prepare, but I want to get it right. I'm scared they'll think my mental faculties had declined and put me in a retirement home.

Does anyone have any advice, or plans of their own, when the time comes? Having a few sleepless nights thinking about it, to be honest.

Why waste time and energy worrying about something that probably won't happen

The earth might crash into the sun one day too

I may regale these descendants with the tale of the time Essendon lost to a bowls club.

Meh
Might happen many, many years into the future in some kind of World Cyberball League.
Lucky one point win over some bunch of donkeys like Moscow

At 60 years old and the average lifespan being about 85 this is something that I thankfully will probably never have to deal with.

Only to have the win wiped from the record books for being on the juice...again.

 

[Coach_Required]

Not that I want to play devil's advocate, but what are the odds-on teams losing to Essendon in a final first?

Reckon it will be Tassie

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Tassie won't make a final for a decade







So, you could be right

 

[Cleansweep17]

I won’t be able too. I’ll be dead by the time that happens. Should’ve just let them use the roids to get it done, poor buggers.

The Auckland Rams used to be based in Tullamarine, and in Essendon before that...

The Earth won't crash into the Sun, but the Sun will engulf the Earth in about 5 billion years.

It's gonna be touch and go for the Bummers then

Would have thought there'd be a few Essendon supporters trying to defend themselves..

Is it a good or bad thing that I am almost certain to die of old age before this happens?

[catscratchfever]

The question does not compute. Me, my children, my grandchildren and the rest of the human species will be long gone by the time Essendum get anywhere near winning in September again.

Remember when there used to be a few Essendon flogs on the bay?

Most of them fa rked off early 2016.

@zackah lulz at having the McKay

Essendon: Hey, Ben, why don’t you come play for us?

Ben McKay: No, thanks, I want to play finals.

Essendon: What if we make you the highest paid player in the game next year?

Ben McKay: …seriously!?

Essendon:

Ben McKay:

Out of the frying pan, into the fire

No finals-bound team wanted him
