Would like a few grubs in our lineup.Nankervis is a genuine grub with cheap shots and clumsiness made famous by big Shane Mumford

Very tempted to go and give the campaigner a serve at the game. Didn’t, probably should’ve. Deserves every bit of mocking coming his way. Embarrassing with how he has let Essendon live in his mind.I might give Sen a call this week just to give it too that smug prick Trout
I didn't realise he's an actual person and not some made up lunatic like Mario from East DoncasterVery tempted to go and give the campaigner a serve at the game. Didn’t, probably should’ve. Deserves every bit of mocking coming his way. Embarrassing with how he has let Essendon live in his mind.
Yeah, to actually win a close one reinforces all those 1%ers. There were many moments in the last. 2 crucial marks by Heppell tooI work with a young fella, big tigers fan.. he doesn't watch any other games other than tigers games.. and thus reached his 10th birthday and had never seen us win. That makes this win special.
Building respect within the group is about making moments matter, games matter, kicks matter.. efforts matter. I think it is fitting that it was Merretts lunging, diving, 150% effort to try to slow down Martin that started a chain that resulted in us winning the game. If Merrett doesn't take complete and utter ownership of that moment.. Martin strolls away and probably slots the 'sealer' and leaves us lamenting our luck for yet another year. If Merrett didn't make up the ground, you wouldn't judge.. he had no right to make the ground, against a contested beast.. in the last minute of a game where he was 'best on'.. that is when personal integrity, group accountability and sheer heart come forward. That is the greatness that defines careers.. Merrett made himself accountable and it paid off.
So yeah.. its a win and we are still a long way from being a top team.. so we can't read too much into it.. but watching our captain leave it all out there gives me hope. Watching ridley actually be in the right spot and then give the correct release to redman who moved it decisively forward and we have a structure ahead of the ball.. seeing Stringer actually hit the top of the goal square instead of go for the freak goal.. point to a team of discipline. A team that understands it is about the collective.
So yep.. this one is special. Very special.

Both times we would have taken him back though.well, did not think that was a coach killing performance, but there you go
that’s twice now that the bombers have got rid of him
if he had’ve realised this time last year that richmond were going to be so shit and in for a rough few years, we would’ve welcomed him with open armsBoth times we would have taken him back though.
I think we are making good teams look sloppy because of the way we are playing. We have certainly asked some teams some questions in every game this year and not let them totally play on their terms.Great win. But let's be honest, it was sloppy. We turned it over a lot. A good side would have beaten us well.
Our pressure game accounts for some of their turnovers, but not ours.I think we are making good teams look sloppy because of the way we are playing. We have certainly asked some teams some questions in every game this year and not let them totally play on their terms.
I think it’s a reciprocal arrangement both clubs must have entered into - we jettisoned Truck after you guys beat us in the last round last year, so now it evens out…. Nervous about the same fixture next year nowGee whiz you blokes really broke us with that drought breaker![]()
Not as nervous as the coaches...I think it’s a reciprocal arrangement both clubs must have entered into - we jettisoned Truck after you guys beat us in the last round last year, so now it evens out…. Nervous about the same fixture next year now![]()
No argument here. Especially the ones when we are under no pressure. Probably cost us a couple of wins.Our pressure game accounts for some of their turnovers, but not ours.

Footy Fix: 278 seconds and six moments to turn nine years of Dreamtime despair into Don delirium
This is the story of a football club, reborn. If you're under about 25 years old, you've basically never known Essendon as anything other…www.theroar.com.au
This is a cracking read. Enjoy
They will love the last quarter of the '84 Grand Final then. Those 2 goals that "Langford" kicks in the last quarter and Durham's Norm Smith performance will be memorable. Redman goes ok in the ruck too.Watched the replay today. My 8 year old son loves the Bombers, and my 6 year old daughter gets on board when we get exciting.
I managed to convince them that the same teams were playing again. They were even more excited today because they were convinced we couldn't come back twice in a row. I may uave added to the theatrics by talking down our chances.
They were so over the moon, especially since it was the exact same scores.
I think I'll bust out some old dvds and come up with some reason as to why the uniforms and camera work are so different.
From memory Alastair Lord went ok after he went forward in the last quarter too…They will love the last quarter of the '84 Grand Final then. Those 2 goals that "Langford" kicks in the last quarter and Durham's Norm Smith performance will be memorable. Redman goes ok in the ruck too.
