Certified Legendary Thread Sympathy for *essendon III - 4 Sept 2024 marks 20 years since *Essendon have won a final; Coached by the anti “RESULTIST”, RIP D2D and T_S

[DapperDon]

You were kicked out of your spiritual home by a bowls club.

We fought and stayed after the league tries to kill us.

Minnows.

Have you ever tried getting old people to make change?

Good luck!

 

[Chadwiko]

North have lost 19 in a row.

Essendon haven't won a final in 19 years.

I know which streak I'd be more embarrassed about.

This gold - you can't make this stuff up!!!

"We'll then get Parish, Shiel & Setterfield back after the bye and can aim not just to stay in the top 8 - but really launch for top 4 spot...!!!"

Prediction - Run to the finish line 2023

The sad thing is that this isn't the 1st time they have got way ahead of themselves by over rating their list!!

You have to dig far and wide to find any positivity or overrating of the list BillyBoi. There are two topics one which we generally agree on over at the Essington board. One is that we’re shit. The second is that North are far shitter.

That was an easy find - top 4 not over rating or positive???? Deluded due to a soft draw....

The one thing you can lock in - we will win a final before *ess.

7,000 days next year!!

Essendon on 10 wins after 13 rounds - 3 wins short from the most in a whole season since 2001

After 13 rounds, Essendon is currently sitting on 10 wins. This is already just as many or more, than most of the seasons in over the last 10 years. Looking at the conclusion of said years, 2001: 17 2002: 12 2003: 13 2004: 12 2005: 8 2006: 3 2007: 10 2008: 8 2009: 10 2010: 7 2011: 11 The...

"For the first time, in a long time, we can actually say that we're a certainty for the finals series as early as half way into the season. You have to yet again go back to Round 13, 2001 as reigning premiers to be as certain of such an outcome as we are now (11 wins). For once in a long time, we do not need to do what Richmond and Carlton supporters are doing right now - clinching on a chance to "just scrape in" or "not". For once, in a very long time, we may in fact deserve to be there."



*essendon finished 11th............

The good news is we have a coach that knows how to win flags - you're stuck with bad brad and his quest for mediocrity. But still - that's a step up from the last 19 years of being a laughing stock.

yep, your gun coach has you at 17th place on the ladder.

whilst our mediocre one has us at 9th.

You are not wrong tbh, we are a laughing stock and have been for a LONG time. We suck total and complete ass and you have not beaten us since 2016 rofl. Let that sink in.

So Medicore Scott has his team in a Medicore ladder position? Shocked to be sitting here...

Now as for laughing stock:
1) *ess were handed the greatest doping sanctions in Australian sporting history.
2) 1st team kicked out of finals for doping
3) Lost draft picks for doping
4) Players walked out on the club.
5) Largest fine in Australian sports -ever!!!
6) *watson the drug cheat had to hand his Brownlow back - for being a drug cheat.
7) 34 players will always be known as drug cheats
8) Booted out of their home ground by 90 year olds.
9) And - in 19 years have not won a final!!

Sorry champ - a couple of lean years from the Roos doesn't get close to the above.

I can't thank *hird enough - my children’s children will always get to point and laugh at anyone wearing the *essendon colours!!!

No matter how bad on the field we are - we can always be thankful we arn't *essendon........

 

[hilly]

I hadn't noticed we were a poor side.

Was less about a mediocre coach delivering mediocre results, as opposed to your "coach who wins flags" having his side at 17th spot.

You are literally in the midst of asking for a Priority Pick....that 1-10 list has nothing on North lol, you have no shade to throw at anyone. have some humility.

"a couple of lean years" wtf. You know a couple is 2 yeah?

kanga kanga kanga roo roo roo

In two weeks time when you don’t make finals and North Melbourne don’t make finals you’ll have exited at the exact same stage. Except North Melbourne’s gets a better draft pick

Essendon are shit mate, it's just that North are even more shit.

Your last top pick didn't want to be at your club. What's does it matter how good your pick is next year?

Hoping to land an Andrew McGrath type.

Landing not the issue

Just make sure they don’t walk out on you

Oh…

Ryder walks out - becomes an All Australian
Saad walks out - becomes an All Australian
Hibberd walks out - becomes an All Australian.

Every player improves once they leave dirty old Tulla.

Just like the Dees, Pies, Freo, Hawks, Saints, WCE, Dogs, Blues, Tigers & Suns - its our turn now.....


You should ask for one for having dodo picking your players for the last 20 years. You really never had a chance.

 

[apollo_creed]

Essendon are s**t mate, it's just that North are even more s**t.

You do realise that shit is shit - regardless of the quantity?
