As a humble Richmond fan I wanted to ask you a question.

If you won 20 million dollars in the lottery, where would you buy your 1st house?

Melton, Dandenong, Frankston, Broadmeadows or Geelong?

Or would you rather sleep outside Punt Road oval?
On Punt Rd oval.

NB In case the AFL integrity unit is reading, this is not a “death threat” 🤦

Alternatively we could chip in and buy him and his sock puppet jannisary a scarf and beanie of whichever club wins the flag this year

It's not normally fatal, but the second suggestion is much nicer.
We're a caring bunch in the Bay, and in my experience, we endeavor to be kind and not mean or cruel to each other.

Maybe they can venture from Tullamarine all the way into Melbourne for a nice dinner. Something off site.
 
When Essendon defeated Melbourne by 5 points in the Elimination Final on Saturday 04 September 2004 it was astonishingly the first time Melbourne had been eliminated from a finals series in the first week for 42-years, dating all the way back to Carlton's 2-point win over the Demons in the 1962 first semi-final.

Obviously the 42 years that separated 1962 from 2004 seemed a very long time, especially given that on 04-Sep-1962 a little-known four-member band from Liverpool known as the Beatles recorded 'Love Me Do'.

Now, it's hard to believe that half as much time again has passed by since Essendon beat Melbourne, and the Bombers still haven't won another final.
 
Medical drama 'Grey's Anatomy', police/legal drama 'Criminal Minds' and sitcom 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' are mainstays of American TV and have been on so long it is hard to remember the television landscape without them.

However none of these three successful, long-running TV shows had aired an episode at the time Essendon last won a final, all of them making their debut season the following year in 2005.

zackah, can we have pizza, cake, and white wine spritzes to mark the occasion? 🙏
I'm going to celebrate by inviting my local bowls club over to kick me out of my own house.

What about inviting your whiny little next door neighbour that is obseessed with you and all the success you've had, that you don't GAF about and forget their name 1/2 the time.

Don't be too hard on North, Essendon tried to move into 'Hotham' in the 20s.
 
Nice melt.

Tell me about all the success of Essington in the 3rd millennium

tin rattlers can hang out with the VFL expansion clubs and st kilda until they win a few more
 
That ignores my point.
Essington now premierships in the 3rd millennium
Actually nothing since the league decided that everyone should play by the rules.
your point is moot because you've won less premierships than essendon, two flags
