I don’t know why but this is my post of the year. I can’t stop laughing… cryingSorry it's actually:
1 in 14,749
I forgot to take into account that it was only a 16-team comp from 2003-2010 and a 17-team comp in 2011
And limit turnovers.Improve the team defence. Improve the number of contests you expose your defenders to .

LmaoYou think that bad. We finished below Geelong on the ladder for 19 straight years from 2004-2002 inclusive. The chances of this are 1 in 524,288.
We have had a lower percentage than Geelong for 21 consecutive years. The chances, theoretically of having a higher (or lower) percentage than any other team is 50% in any given year. So, to have a lower percentage than Geelong for 21 years in a row has a probability of:
1 in 2,097,152
It's unbelievable when you think about it.
Kind of agree…
The Club has struggled in recent years, on and off the field.
Off the Field:
- The club has faced challenges due to the AFL's equalization policies, making it harder to solve problems with financial power alone.
- The 20-year finals drought is attributed to bad luck, the fallout from the drug saga, injuries, and other external factors.
- The lingering resentment from the drug saga between the club and the AFL is highlighted as a persistent issue.
- The club’s draft strategy, focused on tall players (key positions), is questioned, especially the balance between building a spine and selecting the best available talent.
- The team's fluctuating performance has led to confusion about whether to rebuild or top up, resulting in inconsistent team management.
On the Field:
- Essendon's current struggles are linked to poor ball movement from the defensive 50, with several defenders being identified as average kicks.
- The team's game plan is heavily reliant on stoppages and a high press but lacks efficient ball movement and scoring pressure.
- Despite some improvement under coach Brad Scott, there are concerns that the team is not maximizing its potential.
Overall:
- Essendon needs to decide on a clear direction, potentially rebuilding with younger players, and suggests that Scott is the right coach to lead the club to future success.
AI is just tech jargon for Adrian.Can we get this ai thing on the board?
I'm off Scott. Weideman selection over heppel blows my mind.A good example of why we are shit is;-
We give a farewell game to Sam Weideman - a nobody payer who has done nothing at the club (or any other) and who hasn't played since August last year over our ex-captain Dyson Heppell, who has bled for the club through 252 games, tried his best to guide the club through the BS saga, and is a genuine good guy of the AFL...
Go figure...real head scratcher that one I've been a fan of Scott but am now starting to have my doubts given this and other baffling selection (or non selections) throughout the year..
It's not a farewell game. It's two games to see if he has any value as a KPD for us or failing that, another club so we can possibly get some trade value for him.A good example of why we are shit is;-

100% agree - was just having this exact conversation and same names 30 mins ago with my neighbour who’s also a Bombers’ fan ….. in Shanghai!Aside from the new players and the players traded in who has really improved? Caldwell and Durham are the obvious ones. Maybe Jones, Shiel and Bryan. I can’t think of too many others.
I think it’s called being UNAWARE.I just love the fact that no matter what, Sheeds will only go out the way he wants. If I can get my olives to the saltiness of some of you guys I'll be a very rich man
