No, getting annihilated in finals is more a North thing.
Now it is an Essendon thing. Including getting embarrassed by North. Your recent record:
- Annihilated by Sydney by 65.
- Annihilated by North in the last quarter and half, and losing by 12 after leading by 33 points part way through the third quarter.
- Annihilated by Carlton by 62.
- Annihilated by Adelaide by 96.
That's a lot of annihilating. Surely North has a better recent finals record than that? Also keep in mind that those were all Elimination finals, so once you were getting thumped, your opponent took the foot of your throat to rest for next week's game. If percentage mattered in finals, there could have easily been 3 100 point losses.
