Thanks for correcting me, losing a final to Norf, LOL.

How about a G.F ? Maybe even letting them win their first one ? "Lol"

I like this thread but I didn't start it, I have taken up the torch and will make sure it continues to burn brightly.

Go Paul you're on fire mate.

Go Paul you're on fire mate.

Thanks for your encouragement Max. It's a bit of thankless task but important work.

 

[Paul007]

Go Paul you're on fire mate.

Exciting news Max. It's now been 4,611 days since Essendon won a final. Kind of pathetic really but I reckon in 3 - 10 years you will be ready to challenge for a position in the top 8 and at least get to play a final.

Paul, I hope you have something special planned for the 5,000, 10,000 & 20,000 anniversaries. They aren't far away now.

I have something big planned for the 5,000 but after the 10,000 I think they should have to play in the AFL-W until they can threepeat.

4,612 - sad.

4,615 - but if they win on ANZAC day they are the bestus team ever.

 

[Paul007]

4,616 - Lest we forget

 

[Paul007]

4,617 - Just a reminder, as after yesterday's H & A victory over 13th placed Collingwood in the Bob Murphy cup Essendon have delusions of success and relevance.

 

[Paul007]

4,618 - Apparently Joe Daniher is going to solve this because Goddard said so, Spuddard also said they would make movies about all the flags Essendon would win when they were on the gear.

 

[Paul007]

4,619 - As BT would say...Wowee!

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Needs more train pics
