Are Essendon the sleeping giants of season 2025?

[Elixuh]

Fresh off an excellent win against Geelong in Geelong, are Essendon the team to worry about in 2025, a sleeping giant on the rise? Where do Essendon finish the season?

They look dynamic and highly skilled after a busy off-season. With a bunch of talented player.

There are also reports that they no longer ridicule players for working hard on their games and improving.

I think top 4 isn’t out of the question for this Bombers side.

Say it with me very slowly...'practice game.'

We played like absolute shit last night, while Essendon played really well. I honestly think they've got the will and the gameplan to make Finals if they can bring that effort every week...but Top 4 is a whole different ball game.

Let's see how they go in a Premiership game, before we start declaring them as 'sleeping giants', hey?

 

[BattlerGM]

No. No, we're not.

Might win a final next year with more games into the kids. Maybe.

 

[emblurr]

It's the right time of the year when Bay 13ers swim out of their lane.

An Essendon fan would never have started this thread.

I fear the Giants playing the Bombers.

Stringer supposedly is so concerned he curls up into a ball and sucks his thumb every time they are mentioned.

 

[Sirlemsip]

No. They have been asleep since 5th September 2004.

7480 days and counting.

Seriously though, they don't have the primary list, nor the depth, to be in finals calculation for 2025.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Yeah hahaha

 

[g_TRAIN]

LOL

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Will start the season strongly, will stutter by mid year, either fall into finals and get knocked out first week, or narrowly miss.

We go through this every year

OP needed to create an alt account with team set to Essendon to post this.

 

[Orange crush]

I’ve seen enough, gonna put my sheep station on them

 

[dogs105]

Yeah. Nah.

 

[Chief Hopper]

Well, Hawk supporters droned on how they were going top 4 after only getting beat by cats by only 20 points a few weeks ago.

Now that Dons beat the Cats by 21, where does that leave Hawthorn?

 

[Fadge]

Arr0w - maybe I placed my bet a year too early.

I've always said I'm ahead of the game...

No, The GWS giants are the sleeping giants of season 2025. Specifically at night, when they are alseep.

I'll see myself out.

This is what clinches it for me. Now EFC players are planning on actually trying, a GF win is a lock.

 

[Vindicater]

I honestly can't see how we lose a game.

After?

We've been droning on about top 4 for 6 months!
