BEST: when mcveigh kicked that goal against sydney to put us 16 points up after mcphee was out fo bounds ;) or lucas kicking that 7 in the last 1/4
oh and the win against melbourne 7 secs left :p sorry dees, sorry daniher.
WORST: watching fevola tear us apart, hawthorn disgracing us twice.

best watching all our draft picks from last year show glimpses of why we picked then up.

worst: that kep and bolton were still on our list and as terrible as ever,

also watching campo hit a bit of form then doing his knee

Best: The Win over Adelaide & Freo in the first 2 rounds. We could dream of big things.

Worst: Losing to Carlton in Rd3. In the end cost us finals.

Best: the last quarter of the win against West Coast.
Worst: OK, losing Hirdy and Sheeds. But other than that, probably losing to Carlton.

Worst was definitely losing to Carlton. Best moment was when the final siren went went we played WCE at the dome. It was a big step forward for our club and winning those close games is what makes us a better team

Best:
Alwyn Davey's chasing. Especially the StKilda game.
1 point win over the Eagles.

Worst:
R21. Hird and Sheedy's last game in front of the faithful and the team did not even bother turning up after half time.

Best: The West Coast win was just awesome. The atmosphere after the siren went, the whole deal. I was pumped for days after it, an awesome experience that'll stick in the memory for a lifetime :) Add to that the Sydney game a week earlier as well, and the Melbourne game for pure ass!

Worst: Losing to Carlton. I left the ground so filthy, so so filthy. I couldn't belive it, I watched in disbelief as out lead corroded. I hated it sooooo much :(

Overall, even thought we didn't make the finals, I reckon we should be happy with our season. The WC game a few days back just finished it off nicely (Though a win woulda been awesome!)

best - WC syd games so much heart i was getting so excited:p also davey and everytime he tackled someone

worst - alot of players not taking the next step blokes like cole and Jetta getting caught on the piss cole cause i hoped he could be a very handy player for us and Jetta cause im scared he is goignt o be a waste of talent :(

Just had to go watch the last quarter against West Coast again (thanks youtube).

Aarghh. Seriously, that quarter had everything. Heart, fight, excellent tackling, direct kicking, hard running, Lucas's kick to put us in front...they wanted that win more than anything.

Why must they be so inconsistent :(

gotta be the win against west coast... the final siren.. man... unbelievable feeling...

win against the swans... average game to watch, but being there at the scg was just a great feeling with the incredible booing.. !

worst would be getting kicked by the hawks twice... round 3 against the filfth... and the final quarter v the cats...

Best: Lucas' 7 goals in the final quarter of the season.

Worst: Being comprehensively beaten by the bottom side in round 21 when the finals were still a possibility and two of the clubs greats were finishing their careers in melbourne.

It was a "snap" "on the run" from about 55!

He collected the ball, wheeled around towards the goal and banged it through.

these 2 are some of our best matches this year

BigScottyLucas

3 Sep 2007, 22:16

Best: Lucas' 7 goal quarter, the consecutive wins vs last years Grand Finalists, and the win vs Melbourne.

Worst: Carlton, which cost us the finals, and Richmond, which was Hird's last home game.

Still proud of the effort the boys showed for the most part, and can't wait for 2008!

Best: Being at the first West Coast game, standing right behind essendon cheer squad, best atmosphere at a game ever (was there with a friend who follows collingwood he too says best game he has ever been to)

Worst: Alwyn Davey Breaking his arm season over at that moment :(

Merv

4 Sep 2007, 11:27

Best: Round 1 vs Adelaide

We had been pumped there the prior year, had a history of being a poor traveling team and were coming off a poor year and an average pre season.

We burst out of the blocks, unveiled recruits, that it was obvious could play, ran hard, tackled hard, were clean, direct and won well.

Worst: Round 3 vs carlton

BEST:
Dustin Fletcher's torp against the Saints.
Alwyn Davey's many flashes of brilliance (which everyone knew he was capable of) coupled with his tireless work ethic throughout his games this year.
James Hird's ability to continually prove why he is regarded as one of the best ever.
Scott Lucas' last quarter was probably a fitting way for him to end another fine year in which he confirmed just how good he has been/is/will be for the club.

WORST:
Lack of development in a number of mid range players who seem to be armed with the tools to carry the club forward, but, also seem to be the reason the club has stagnated.
The farewell of Hird and Sheedy, the club will never be the same again. Although I am sure that the club will once again soon be successful, these 2 are 2 of the 5 most recognised names in club history and are irreplacable.

Best - Beating both premiers

Worst - Going to Jim and Sheed's last game in Melbourne, only for us to play one of the worst games of footy this season.

:thumbsu:: Win over Sydney. Rated it over the West Coast win purely because it was over there and my distaste for Sydney and their supporters. The whole out of bounds - shot that his the post - booing during Lloyd's speech was so satisfying.

:thumbsd:: Raffle the Carlton or Richmond losses. Actually, probs Richmond just due to an apparent lack of heart on such an occaision.

Best: Being at both West Coast games. Sat behind the goals last week and watched Scott Lucas tear the Eagles apart in Q4. Their supporters started turning on each other and their players. It was fantastic.

Worst: Both games against the Hawks - dismal performances and we should have done much better. Carlton Round 3, Richmond Round 21.

Best - The win against west coast and watching Hird do his thing.

Worst - The carlton loss, mainly coz i went with a mate who is a carlton supprter and after ripping into him in the first half, i had to take it on the chin in the 2nd.

Best: Alwyn Davey. What a footballer.
Best Win : The richmond dreamtime game amused me no end. W.Coast win was beautiful, but just pinching that one from richmond, entertainment plus that night.
Worst : carlton loss. Insipid 2nd half
Worst : Losing Alwyn Davey, bye bye season.

Worst : Losing Alwyn Davey, bye bye season.Said to Nobby8 when he was in town ... "Season over" when you lost AD ... that kid is "X-factor" peronified .

Best was the west Coast game at the dome. Everyone at the ground was going off. Was as close to a final win as you could get as far as atmosphere at the ground goes.

Worst was the round 21 game against Richmond. Huge Bomber dominated crowd and we play like skunks :thumbsd:

BertRito

Best (in order):
- The win over West Coast, absolutely amazing atmosphere
- Pinching a win over the Tigers in the Dreamtime match
- The speed of Alwyn Davey and his Anzac Day goal
- The Lucas goal just before full time against the Demons
- Pinching a win over the Swans after they gave up a four goal head start
- The form of Paddy Ryder, who will be a genuine star
- Surprising the Crows in Round 1
- The return of Rama. Gutsy.
- Andrew Lovett's late season form. Going to be important in 08
- Dustin Fletcher and THAT goal...freak

Worst (in no particular order):
- The loss to Carlton in Round 3
- The Tigers beating us on our big day in Round 21. Never felt more disappointed at the footy in all my time, including the 01 GF.
- Hirdy not playing the whole season due to injury
- Alwyn Davey's broken arm
- The Scott Lucas led comeback in Round 22 which, although very exciting, ended up costing me $600 on the punt
- The lack of form from David Hille (Cameron Wood, we need you)
- McPhee's constant brain snaps
- The lack of accountability through the middle
- Losing to the Hawks twice in one year
- Losing to the other teams we lost to when we shouldn't have
- Missing our whole bench against the Cats when we were right in it
- Allowing the Dogs to be humiliated into finishing lower than us on the ladder, giving up a draft spot
- The exit of Sheeds, although hopefully with it will go Bolton, Heffernan, Campo, Cole and JJ.

That's all I can think of right now. What a rollercoaster of a season... :)

Best moment for me was Round 1 against Adelaide.

Davey and Jetta played a role and we made a statement that we can be a good side again.

Worst moment - Round 3 against Carlton. All the good work in the first two games was underdone in a half.

Remember when we kicked your arse in rd 20 by more than you did in rd 3, and don't say you were tanking coz u know you weren't
and.....which team came closer to winning the finals???..........shame really

Can be a certain game or just a particular goal or just an individual play. What was your favourite moment of 2007? For me
I know everyone likes those goals that lift the huge MCG crowd, but i like the interstate crowd silencers even more. My favourite moment of 2007...
McPhee steps out of bounds and McVeigh snaps an absolutly unbelievable goal from the boundary and looks at the crowd with his hand in the air to complete silence, not one sound. They're making their comeback and McVeigh, the champion that he is, saves the game for us.

Essendon > Carlton for 10+ years and still counting

If beating us was the highlight of their season they really are a more pathetic club than I ever realised

I live in Adelaide so I don't get to alot of games.

Best - Adelaide supporters going quiet when we beat them.

Worst - Port supporters Giving it to us when they beat us.

15 Nov 2007, 07:37

Best, for mine, was a toss up between the dreamtime match (I work with 8 tigers fans) after last year and the dunnybirds game at the dome.

Worst, Injuries v Geelong and the insipid display in rd21.

21 Nov 2007, 10:44

Best: Fletcher's spoil in the dying moments of the West Coast win - I'm pretty sure I had a heart-attack! My left arm tingles when I think about it.

Worst: Hird doing his calf in his 250th (and losing that match) - the boys tried so hard for him but had no legs ... real hollow feeling.

Best: Just after our 4 game winning streak.

21 Nov 2007, 14:42

Just a bit of fun guys..

Best: Beating last year's Grand Finalists in consective weeks and both by 1 point.

Worst: Obvisouley Hird/Sheedy on Sunday leaving us but also the Carlton game in Round 3. That cost us the finals.
Am reminded by my mates constantly about Carlton's comeback in round 3. That was a defining moment i thought where we dropped in confidence. Horrific day in essendon's season. Best moment was the consecutive wins over the past grand finalists. Having Hird leave will not sink in until we play next year and we lose a game where we needed someone to pull some magic.:(

The best team moment was definately beating the eagles... Unbelievable.

The best individual moment was sitting up in stands at The Dome watching Jetta take 3 bounces then kick a goal from near the boundary against the Dockers in rd 2. Excitement of finally having some genuine young talent coming through.

Worst was difinately the Carlton game in round 3 after a great start to the year.
