Are Essendon the sleeping giants of season 2025?

[Yoda_]

Two games in a row, only two goals after half time. Both wins, however against sides that aren't travelling well in Swans and Roos. If they had lost both they would be bottom 4 as Swans would have leapfrogged them. Sides can look to be going really well when they win the close ones but it's often a bit of a mirage, as when they play a proper in form contender gives the real indicator of how far off they are. Impressive still to be winning with such a young side.

win = 4 points and ladder says we have 5 of them

Haven't beaten a good side all year.


No.

A 2024 prelim finalist and last years grand finalist not good enough??

 

[Yoda_]

Everyone here have reflexive hate for the bombers for some ****ing reason... we're like the youngest team in the comp. Are you holding north and Richmond to the same standards?

easy to throw stones in glass houses. We will become absolute insufferable campaigners when we wake up as a club

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We're beating sides by playing 1 quarter, We're playing with our dinner, that confidence has me excited, up the Dons!

You’ve beaten 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th and 18th.

 

[Vindicater]

You’ve beaten 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th and 18th.

Yes. We are a mediocre team.

 

[JackFlash]

Eseendon are a mid table team, the best they will do this year is 10th - 12th!

 

[lalorGOAT]

They are better than what a lot of people think. Should push finals, but if they make it they will only be around 7-8th.

 

[Milanista28]

You’ve beaten 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th and 18th.

Yeah we did!

 

[timokane]

No i have them in 15th spot and 17th spot next year they are a battling club nowadays and are a waste land of a club and team.

No one likes them and looking like winning the spoon in 2027

 

[Lando_]

They are a young side and bigfooty loves young sides.

Its better to be young than good.

 

[Pistol Night]

Its better to be young than good.

So we keep getting told by Carlton too

 

[timokane]

See melbourne essendon are drifting into the never never.

I can see both dees and bombers as the next annual celler dwellers after this year on wards.

Most Essendon fans are realistic with where we are actually at but it’s also completely fine for Essendon fans to celebrate the wins along the way, that’s why you support your club.

PS How good is Nate Caddy gonna be

Celebrate wins? What a strange concept, I wouldn’t know what that’s like

not bad for a team consistently fielding the most amount of inexperienced players each week

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Mid table by definition is 7th-12th, I think most would be stoked by that result this year.

Yeah I think we will probably end up 12th to 14th.

10+ wins would be a very good result.

Will make and win a final next year according to K.Cornes

Cornes: Essendon will win a final next year

what's more intriguing is that Kane said something positive let alone about Essendon

Been sleeping since 04 so the thread got that part right!!

No where near it and won’t be for the immediate future, have found some diamonds amongst the Dodoro rough though.

Your team single handedly ruined the comp worse than covid for a few years.

I wonder why they don't like you...

Hahaha, there’s every chance the rest of our season goes that way so may as well enjoy it for now. North will win a few more this year.

giving smaller clubs a chance to catch up on the premiership total
