Also another year that the "movie" that goddard promised is delayed.

Iam beginning to think its not gonna happen.

Maybe a more realistic goal like actually winning a final may have made the plot more believable?

Nah, who am i kidding....

The Age now trolling them. The gift that keeps giving

A drought of finals wins: Essendon’s unwanted record turns 20 today

Essendon’s history is peppered with finals victories … until the last 20 years. The Bombers are lonely at the top of this unwanted ladder.

Statistically to not win a final in 20 years is roughly 0.00019816981 (or 1 in 5,046).

(10/16)^6 x 11/17 x (12/18)^13

This does not account for the double final chance.

I see T Goldstein wants to go around again next season.

And why not as we say, he's not even 37 yet.

Footywire has him contracted for 2025.

So I am not sure about want more contracted to and unless they pay him out he will be?

Think Footywire has this one wrong, on the wireless it was stated he wants to get another 12 month deal.
Then look at moving into coaching.

This would be the second thing that that website has led me astray on in as many weeks.

Will need to stop using it as a source.

Yeah I do use it for stats and find it pretty good, but I suppose contract stuff over 18 clubs, they can make the occasional mistake.

He wants another 12 months on top of his existing 12 months.

I'm confused but I suggest going by all things happening at *. They'll be offering that youngster darling jack a five year deal.

He’s definitely contracted for 2025. He can see the writing on the wall with the *club making him a virtual ruck coach in the latter parts of this season. He wants to play. Highly unlikely he will unless his replacements are injured at the same time. Even then they’ll probably chuck the underperforming 2M Peter into the guts.
