Retired #9: Brendon Goddard - Retires a winner - Thanks for everything BJ

[Lance Uppercut]

Absolutely agree - Our first half of the season was probably the most excited I've been as an Essendon supporter / member.

you obviously weren't around for 2000 then

The West Coast game felt like 2000 again, though. Did to me, anyway.

yeah same. Good feeling, wasn't it?

I continued to state that I wouldn't do any lid poppin' unless we were top 4 in Rd 15.

Nonetheless I allowed myself an arrogant smirk at the WCE game. Shouldn't have done that.

I did a lot more than smirk

At one point I yelled out that it was like playing the Washington Generals, got the whole row in front laughing

Essendon coveting players from St Kilda.

It aint 1897 2000 anymore, that's for sure.

Tell me about it. The really sad thing is we'll probably target the Saints again for FA next year, too.

 

[Kong]

.... Jesus christ, this bloke plays for Essendon

I know it's true, but I don't actually believe it yet.

Probably won't until Round 1.

Won't be real till then. Maybe some pre-season training snaps might do it, though.

Its like waiting for Christmas

I just really wanted a press conference with Goddard and Hird.
Now he won't be unveiled for over a month.

I was eight and didn't give a stuff about footy, so you're pretty much right. Haha

At least we know what our present is.

Don't be fooled. It was a clayton's feeling. They were without stars IIRC, and interstate.

Hopefully someone's going to Colorado. Who was taking pre-season training snaps last year?

 

[VelvetSledge]

I'll be looking out for it on the boys Instagrams

You didn't care about footy when you were eight?

Heathen.

I would like to like your post just so I can then unlike it.

You were doing alright. I was losing my mind.

Same, 80's babies represent.
Not sure about these 90's lads.
I remember the 1993 Grand final >_>

 

[Drummer_19]

90s kids, don't even know the greatness of Kelly Kapowski... oh right, something something Brendon Goddard.

84 GF is the first game of footy I sat down to watch with my Dad.

Thank **** Hawthorn didn't win.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

I'm aware.

They were nonetheless undefeated at that point, and it was more the atmopshere and fervour of the crowd that appealed. And the methodical precision with which they were pulled apart in the 3rd. We haven't even been doing that to bad sides.

Haha, you've got a few on me brother, I was conceived the night of the 1985 Grand Final, big night! If it weren't for the Bombers, I wouldn't even be here.
