Sometime ago i put a post on here reminding essendon supporters to enjoy the good times simply because they will not last.I was laughed and joked at to the point of being rediculed.Ok lets be honest your team which won the premiership last year was fantastic and good luck to you as you were an awesome unit.But remember this the hunter is now becomming the hunted it will not be as easy to do all that again infact probably impossible.Fair enough you had some big names missing last night but that only proves one thing and that is you are just like any other club if you cannot field your best team from your list you will struggle.Im afraid that you all been sucked in by reading your own publicity,now im not saying your season is over infact far from it,i still believe you will be a strong team this year but things will be different,you will not be allowed to dictate as you did last year.I still believe your biggest negative at windy hill is kevin sheedy fair dinkum any one of us could of coached essendon to a flag last year as you were simply that good,but you need a change maybe after last years premiership your club should of told 'sheeds' hey thanks for every thing mate but on ya bike.And to be fair you did not play a strong team in last years grand final,everything just kinda went your way,last year you lost only one game and allready this year you have lost two games and as jub jub pointed out a practise game as well against sydney.Which leads me onto another point no one is jealous of the essendon football club infact personally speaking i couldn't give a shit about the essendon football club,But like many others in the football world i was in awe at the fact that last year you were able to field an 18 that was simply better than the rest.But they are human and will get injured just the same as any other football club your lot at essendon are no different.You are not the world beaters you thought yous were.The supporter of the essendon football club may well start eating humble pie and it should be interesting to see the reaction if these losses continue.You have been spoilt for a long time now and i say again it aint gonna go on forever.Its only too easy sticking it up opposition supporters while your team is kicking ass,now you might respect supporters of other clubs a little more who have been in darkness for quite some time,this is your test of loyality at this moment.A supporter's loyality isnt judged when his team is on top in fact it is judged when his team is down below getting kicked from pillar to post year after year.As i said earlier its not time to get concerned just yet but if i were yous i would be a little worried.Welcome to the real world essendon supporters right now you have become the hunted 'how does it feel'

There is nothing in life greater,than to be a supporter or our beloved collingwood football club,we must remain united,we must stand tall,we must be prepared to fight for our glorious black and white,for we are THE ENVY OF ALL NATIONS.

Joffa,
well said, I whole-heartedly agree!

And for all those who believe that Essendon are going to go back-to-back.....remember '94, a few "well-timed" injuries and things are just that little bit harder.

Can't believe i'm gunna say this.
I think ya right Joffa. I will however disagree with yer views on Sheeds (the best thing to happen to our club in the last 30 years). But yer right about 'the hunter/hunted' thing. It's happened many times over the years, in fact it happened to us in '94 (although that side was a lot inferior to our current squad). So no, i'm not expecting a piss easy cakewalk this year. In fact i'm looking forward to how our players react to the increased pressure we will no doubt cop from opposition teams.
Others may not,but i think i'm smart enough to realise ijuries, suspensions, complacency and whatnot can things very quickly. And let's face it whatever we do this year, nothing will top what we achieved last year. One thing will remain the same though, i'll be in the trenches with my team no matter what happens. Cheers Joffa
Carn the Dons!

Essendon always seem to have deep troughs between the peaks.

The might very well have a shocker this year, and then come back next year and win another pennant.

On the other hand, they may very well still be premiers this year. It can't be picked yet.

I would believe they still have a good list and a good coach, and now it all comes down to whether or not they click.

I'd just like to say that "Essendon forever" is NOT me.

And Joffa :

1.) Use paragraphs, because it makes it easier to read. Split that massive amount of words into, maybe, three groups. Someone might actually read it then.

2.) Obviously it was always going to be harder this year than last year. Duh! As if we were going to go 21-1.

3.) The season hasn't started yet. Who knows we may dominate again.

Joffa, that brought a tear to my eye. Because WE know all about sticking with your team through the difficult times. I loved every minute of the game last night as we are still going through the tough times and any wins a good win, even if it's in the Ansett Cup.

All good points which are well taken.

So much more than talent is required. You need some luck and to have a confident (but not overconfident) attitude. You need to be hungry for it.

Essendon repeated successfully in 1912, 1924, 1950 and 1985, so there is obviously some precedent. I think in each case (the latter two for sure), that the club actually improved a bit over the previous season - 1985 dominated a lot more than 1984 did. Essendon should have won the 1951 flag as well but that's a whole different story.

I would think that a repeat would be much more likely this season had Essendon gone 17-5 and won from the 3rd ladder position. They would be considered a favourite, but not a prohibitive favourite.

Joffa, we have lost 2 matches which I am unhappy about because I would have liked them to win the Ansett Cup. Oh well time to regroup & focus on the H & A competition.
Joffa your guys better win tonight, I want at least one thing to be happy about this weekend.

Gee I must have really got under Joffa's skin.

Joffa is such a loser, he pretends to be an Essendon supporter, and posts isiotic posts under this guise in order to try to embarass people. But, as usual, the only person he embarasses is himself.

It's kind of ironic how little old me seems to crop up in his moronic posts. Oh well. If that's what he likes, so be it. He's just a loser. A real grad-A turd.

You see showbags 24,football is emotion and not just stats 'and thank god'.The world does not revolve around the essendon football club it also revolves around 15 other clubs and to be honest i have more time with those supporters of other clubs who like ourselves(collingwood)have been battered from colac to calcutta.And i get a buzz when i see the likes of collingwood,richmond,st kilda,fremantle and such likes who's supporters no matter what turn up week after week,such supporters are the true meaning of faith and loyality without these enduring qualities you simply have no football.Im the first to admit that collingwood of recent years have been pathetic and it really hurts very very much.But i love the supporter who goes to the footy when deep inside he knows his club has no hope of winning.we at collingwood of recent years know all about that and i guess a lot of other supporters on this board know the feeling as well.I love the supporter who goes just because he loves his club,i love the supporter who is just not there for the ride,i love the supporter who sits there until the final siren whilst his team is getting belted but he sits there because he loves his club.To stick by your club during the darkest days is so rewarding cause you know that one day things will change.What you people say about collingwood doesnt really bother me, so i say go for it,as if we havnt heard it all before!!But showbags if everyone walked away from a losing side we would not have a competition to follow, it would simply crumble apart.I really dont know what this has to do with the original topic but i guess im tryin to say that football is more than winning it's more than stats,its all about the love one has in his heart for a club that he reckons is the best of all time whether it be collingwood richmond stkilda or melbourne for it is the loyal supporters of these bottom sides that makes our game so great.Yeah sure we all prefer our club to kick arse week after week but in the real world this does not happen.
Long live the supporter who no matter what loves his club through thick and thin,as i said football is not about stats its about love and so it should be 4 ever.

THE ICON
Hunting down old posts from three days ago you twat. Without actually reading Joffa McGuires latest installment of barely legible waffle, ill assume it went on about Essendon (one of joffas favourite subjects despite the fact he says he doesnt give a toss about our club)and how we have lost 3 preseason games. Frankly I reckon Joffa knows sweet f*ck all about footy, which is why he's getting so wet about whats taking place in february.

Wait until anzac day- then you'll have to eat your (probably misspelled) words.

Oh and Icon- Ill be here defending my team all year, no matter what- so dont start up this "arch is hiding" bullsh*t. Maybe I dont have a PC strapped to my back like yourself.

Essendon Forever. A few things. I don't know who you are, but please stop giving Essendon supporters a bad name. That's if you really are you, and aren't someone on this board in disguise. I can agree with your name but please, act a little more mature! If you are someone in disguise, just reveal yourself, if not, grow up...this is why Essendon supporters get a bad name!

Actually Icon

I think I've sent in around 10 posts over the past 8 days (covering both losses).

So this must be a new definition of "hiding" you're referring to reserved for those who wear blinkers???

Also, still waiting for Joffa's call definitive statement that the maggies will finish above the Dons or not (from 7 days ago) - now THAT'S hiding...

See ya (wouldn't want ta b ya)
Dutchy.

PS. Go dons - early days
PPS. Good initial post Joffa to this thread - personally I for one love your rants - they are definitely entertaining and good for footy (and they wind ppl up) - but an intelligent post is good to see as well.
