Think Tank It's time. Essendon should no longer be known as the 'Bombers'

Norfie can spell. Well done mate!

It’s a miracle.

Shouldn’t it be
They all came crashing down in September 2001

Isn’t “*” enough?

How about naming them after one of Australia's most hated pests?

On second thoughts, the humble bin chook is a survivor so maybe it shouldn't be associated with such a tainted club...

If you don't support a name change, why are you pro-terrorist?

I support systemic drug cheating so why not terrorism?

Considering they pretty much blew up their club for him why not just be done with it and call themselves the Tulla Hirds

Hello Bay. How are you? I am fine.

Now many of you will know a little of Essendon's chequered history.
The first relocated club, the first attempted merger (with Hotham), claiming a 'premiership' despite not playing in a grand final (1924)... and of course their terrible history with names.

There was time when they weren't the 'Bombers' but a rather more disturbing nickname: "The Blood Stained N...." well I don't want to use that word but here's a hint to it:

In modern times they are called the "Bombers" but surely we can no longer condone a club who have 'brought the game into disrepute' being named after one of two things: either death machines from the sky who kill (many innocent) people:

The obvious solution is to rename them: the Essendon Mosquitoes (and no that's not a reference to the wooden, two engine aircraft from WW2).

Firstly they already use a mosquito as that mascot:

They're blood sucking parasites that use a long thin implement to enter the sub-dermal layer of unsuspecting humans, cause untold misery worldwide and are generally annoying to be around.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

With this captain?

 

[JustaBattler]

Carlton's Bitches has a nice ring to it I think.

 

[COKEandCOLA]

I know what I'd like to call them, however they're deluded supporters will probably report me again and my post will be deleted.

In saying that, calling them "the scum" will more than suffice.

So does this creepy campaigner.



Fools his unknowing opponent with a hug, then whips out the reach around.

I think the shitstains is more appropriate.

How did they go in the JLT tonight? Did Shiel justify two first round picks, given the Hawks picked up a better player in Scully for a packet of BBQ Samboys?

An old bloke with a dodgy hamstring gave him a bath.

It's irrelevant because they 'won trade week again'
