Opinion Essendon Something

[Pweter]

Norf have a great song, their most redeeming feature. As do Brisbane. Would only agree with Freo, GWS and GC on that list, and would add Carlton.

Adelaide's is ******* s**t. They are the pride of Crows supporters, not the pride of ******* SA. The state side was the pride of SA and to imply I am proud of the Crows, well that's always offended me.

Essendon something something something Dark Side.

what does EnolaGay have to say about this?

I feel an identity crisis coming on if we change our name!

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

'Bombers' can also imply to 'Bomb' aka kick the ball, so it's not bad in my mind..... albeit we seem to play hot potato with the ball rather than bomb it anywhere....

How about the Essendon Potatoes?

PS - lol at CareBears

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

If we were the CareBears then we could argue Dempseys sling tackle was in fact just a passionate hug

I think if it was anymore than a compassionate hug as you suggest it would be a different kind of bear.

 

[Reality Check!]

Reality Check: The atomic bomb is "literally" the reason no developed countries have engaged in total war with each other for the last 70 years.

They just bomb the * out of undeveloped countries to propogate unending wars and keep the military industrial complex ticking over...

Given we don't seem to be anywhere near as powerful as a bomber anymore, and the way we handball the footy is absolutely terrible i think the name the Essendon Hand Grenades is appropriate. Every time we handball it a few times in a row its like we are throwing a live grenade around until eventually someone craps themselves and chucks it away.

Hand grenades can do a bit of damage. If you want to go that way, we should be the Essendon Firecrackers. Make a lot of noise, not much damage

This hurts my brain, how has this gotten to 7 pages?
I chose the team as a kid because of its name.

 

[Blazeit]

Lol at the people who just read the last few posts.
Is a troll thread

 

[Doss]

Does our utter depravity know no bounds?

We are named after planes that kill people. I mean I could tolerate a few syringes but this has me hopping mad.

I agree. I think we should be called The Essendon Hippies. Make love, not war, and it also fits right in with our uncontrolled, experimental druggy ways.

Essendon Doormats?

Essendon Stardust

has to be a Ziggy reference somewhere...

'Bulldust' would be just as appropriate where Ziggy is concerned.

 

[Howard Moon]

I think we should relocate to Moonee Ponds and call ourselves the Ednas
