Touted pre season as nigh on unbeatable and one of the greatest teams of all time.

But...a few big heads and myriad injuries and all of a sudden the super side ain't so super no more.

Looks like the Bombers can start preparing for 2002 already!

What is interesting - but not pleasant - is that Essendon are starting to have a Richmond like run with injuries.

Heffernan's keen during the week.
Ramanouskis (sp) Ankle.
Hille ankle
Misiti Knee (strain)

Also note that Tredrea looks like he has done a major knee as well.

Mr Ripper,

I suppose we might as well not play the season then eh! As far as I can work out, the actual season hasn't started yet, and we are 0-0, just like every other team.

You're writing us off on the basis of a couple of short term injuries and a pre-season loss to the Cats. Get real!
 
Well people I would love to stay & listen to all your enthralling comments, but I am off to see Michael Long & hold the 2000 Premiership Cup.

Dan, did you happen to notice the winky smiley at the end of my post? It's there to help the intellectual plodders like yourself understand that there may in fact be a touch of tongue-in-cheek about the post.

Please try to be more perceptive in future.

You're judging that after two games? Please.

Come on, we have enough players out (15 I think) to have an excuse for going crap...I doubt (touch wood) we'll remain with that many out all year for every game. We'd be highly unlucky if it occured...I don't think karma could get that bad. (Touch wood again.)

Essendon, the most powerful and best run club in the league.

Don't count on it, things are bad and will only get worse. Did you not have 15 of last years premierships side in against Port?

Also heard a rumour that James is having foot problems again, it may be a long season.

To be honest being reigning premiers is a real drag, every mediocre team is up for the game against you, the home and away is really boring cos you are just waiting for the finals to start and everyone hates you.

My advice is to forget about this year and look forward to 2002.

Everybody hates us? ohhh boo hoo nasty Kangawhinger. We can wait for 2002 even 2010 even longer BUT the Norff handouts will be gone. So my advice for you is to follow CIK and find another team quickly.

ps: we don't want you.
