With the unfortunete loss of Blake Caracella to the Lions, I was thinking of the biggest payback we could get for losing him. I was thinking of him doing his knee, or being dropped from the seniors, but then I though about Damien Cupido kicking a few goals, or Adam McPhee doing well for the team. So I thought - what would the other Essendon supporters think?.
So make your choice, and try to make it as un-vengeful as possible.:D
You are missing an option there mongrel punt...All of the above?

I picked winning the Flag but would not mind seeing Cupido kick 50+ goals this season.

You're not wishing for much are you?:D
I was going to have an "other" option, but I thought that some supporters would be a little animated with that one.
Guilty as charged!!!!:D :p :cool:

Liked Cara, cool finisher, I predicted mid-season `02 that he would be off. I have a feeling he will struggle up in Brizzy and may regret his move.

Definitely a big year from Cupido, give Brissy nightmares for giving him up.

Definitely all of the above would be brilliant. :D
I went for winning a premiership. That would have to hurt the most. And feel the best for us! :D
Unfortunate loss of Caracalla?? Pfft ... stuff him!!
He'll end up like every other one of our rejects ... sitting the the scrapheap. My ultimate would be to see the greedy **** banished to the QAFL indefinitely! That'd teach him to temp fate!!!

Don't want to see him do a knee - that's fcuked. He WAS a loyal and faithful servant, and a prominent member of our 2000 team.
Remember that.
Yes, he was pretty poor in spots last year, so being dropped to the QAFL would be punishment enough hehe.
Would love to see Damo kick 50 though.

Sorry guys, but I decided to remove the knee injury option, which I felt was in very bad taste. Nobody voted for it anyway.
Say what you want about his '02 form, but why would anyone suggest he deserves a season ending injury?
I voted for Cupido kicking 50 goals. He's the guy we got out of the deal, so as long as we get something out of the trade I'm happy.

I thought there would be a few out there who would be vengeful enough to say that - my sister knows a guy who named his kid Blake after him - he was one guy who would have selected the 1st option. He now calls his kid by his 2nd name!:D

:eek:
Good reason not to name your kids after players. Although I guess naming your kid "James" or "Lloyd" is probably a bit safer.

Nothing like a premiership. How sweet it would be.:) :)

Have to correct you there.
MOST of our rejects (as you put it)
I reckon Ladhams played a top game tonight and I reckon Hardwick has played good games for Port Adelaide.
BTW, I voted for a flag. It's the ultimate in payback.

Hardy rejects though. We had to let Ladhams go due to us have too many players of a similar type at the time he was on our list ... and Hardwick ... there is no way that he is an Essendon rejects. This man bleeds red and black and is a life member. Champion player, champion bloke. The EFC would have loved to hang onto him!

Agreed. But Caracella isn't a "reject" either. That was my point.
Greedy, perhaps, but a good player. I'd rather have him in my team than playing for the Bris-scum :D
