Roast Essendon in no mans land

[Foxx]

I heard it was 7500 days today since Essendon won a final.

That is being in no-man's land and setting yourself in concrete.

We've just been incredibly excited to chase mediocrity thinking it'll lead to future success rather than focus on youth for an extended period and cop a run of bottom 4-6 finishes.

2000s Chicago Bulls of the AFL

Boo this man.

The bulls have actually won some playoff series in the last 15 years.

Need a worse team then that (also we have a better list then the current bulls)

We’re probably closer to the current Pelicans or Kings

Bulls traded for their top 10 protected pick back so they could chase the 10 seed and not lose their pick. They’re the poster child of chasing mediocrity

Absolutely they’ve just been more successful than Essendon. Mediocrity implies better then Essendon

maskmcgee your thoughts mate?

 

[Cyber_punk]

Bard's worst loss yet in the red and black (Aside from the 126 point loss to GWS)

We can probably shut this one down folks


We're leaving no mans land and officially going to the dark zone

How long before the calls for Hirdy to take over start to leach out of the membership base?

 

[jerry springer]

the biggest issue going forward they are about to overpay Harley Reid by about 1 million to give their supporters some hope

they really need to hit the draft hard and rebuild from the bottom up

I'm on board.

You know they will

You’d be insane to leave WC and go there.

Bringing Hird back should help keep Essendon on the scrapheap for 200 more years.

They went hard draft 3 years ago and with 3 picks inside top 10 came up with Zac Reid, Archie Perkins and Nik Cox who are barely AFL standard

nuh, James is happy keeping Tom Morris accountable for the tripe he spits out.

Think James is happy, time o move on like everyone else has

pretty ordinary draft overall consider it was a Covid effected draft.

Ifanything, the bloke who took the picks should have moved one of them into 2021 and gave us more exposed form to assess. Gladly he;s no longer with the company and his voicemail changed

St.Kilda still driving this bus?

You reckon? I'd be pretty confident if it was offered to him he would take it.

Regardless, it's the recruiting team that's been their biggest issue for years.

thankfully Adrian is no longer in the building, we've got a new football department and now waiting for the 2 - 4 years to (hopefully) see it bear some fruits of change

 

[demondavey]

The fact they can be labelled a big club these days is just a laugh. Mark Robinson kept them relevant during his drunk ramblings but aside from that they are actually irrelevant this century bar cheating via supplements.

They are actually absolutely nowhere. Have to be up there with St Kilda as one of the poorest run organisations in the AFL. The fact a club like Hawthorn could turn themselves into genuine premiership material in two seasons after a bit of rebuild just shows the chasm between good clubs and very bad ones.

San Antonio Spurs are the only reasonable franchise I have picked in all sports I watch. That was a ripper trade.

 

[Lockyer24]

Should be able to defend far better than that today. Poor Caddy on his own up forward but it’s the other end which is disappointment for them

He played a big part in destroying essendon so I think the fans of 17 clubs would say bring hird back now
