I’m still giving them an asterix if they win a wildcard final - it shouldn’t count.

Another asterisk!!!!
They have enough now to spell ****!
In fact, officially they could now be called the Essington ****’s and it would be entirely deserved and appropriate!!!!
(feel free to wildcard the shit out if those asterisks.

A reminder of what this thread is really about.
Also, a fascinating read. It concludes: "Come back on Monday for part two, where he explains, 10 years since he and his teammates were banned, how deeply painful it was to have to give his Brownlow Medal back, but how he has moved on from it."
But has he...?

if * win a wild card it doesn't count as a final, but if they lose it does count as a final.

I don’t think Jobe ever gave back the physical medal as he claims he lost it.

Imagine if they lose a wildcard final.

That would be awesome. It could break them.

This thread would hit the 10 swap over in no time at all!

I could tolerate if * become the first AFL team in history to lose a wildcard final. Something they can add to their tally of shame.

Dyson Heppell is going down the I'm A Celebrity/reality tv route i see. Perhaps he might finally win something after all.

Its been 241 days since Essendon won a game of AFL

Love the hint the promo was trying to give to who will be appearing. “A 90’s sitcom star”, following by the host yelling “Get out!” and shoving Steve Irwin’s offspring in the chest.

My first thought was as if Julia Louis-Dreyfus would be caught dead on reality TV shit.

I doubt he'll reach the last 8

He might reach the final 8 - but once he gets there will lack that winning finals experience to go on with it.

 

[jj1978]

If Heppel makes it to the finals and wins, does that mean *'s counter resets?

The latest commercial for it came up and I almost fell off the chair in fits of laughter. Dyson Heppell is talking about the drug scandal (to the shock of one contestant who is hearing about it the first time lol). “It took up four years of our lives”, “Not even one positive test” and “our names have never been cleared” were just some of the better quotes.

I thought that was bad but then Mia Fevola was airing her families dirty laundry on national TV and talking about her dad blowing $1 million in one year on gambling lol.

Asked a workmate how they thought our teams would go in 2026.

“You are shit”.
“You were shit in 2025 and you will be shit this year”.

What about your team I asked.
“We’ll be good this year. Injuries killed us in 2025. Our young players are way better than yours”.

The arrogance is still there.

We’ve bet a slab on who finishes higher..

Zac Merrett missed team photo day today because he was “unwell”, but “… the club says he will be photo shopped in at a later date”. I shit you not that was the quote on the news.

Only at *.

And once he leaves at the end of the year the photoshopping will be more like this

I’m a teacher, and invariably each year it comes up about supporting Carlton. There is always a tinge of sympathy in the eyes of the Geelong, Hawthorn and Richmond supporting students who have enjoyed many years of success.

Then I ask the students who they support and my response to Essendon supporting students is always the same: ‘nobody can accuse you of being bandwagon supporters’.

They are Year 5 students and Essendon was 4000 days into this streak when they were born. I feel a little sorry for them (for a moment) then remember how much I dislike Essendon and proceed to tell an elongated story about the 99 prelim.
