Essendon have mocked Carlton’s latest membership campaign slogan: “They Know We’re Coming”.

The shy and retiring Blues stirred up the rivalry with their latest slogan and the Bombers have responded in kind.
Essendon today posted a slogan on the club website (essendonfc.com.au): “They Know We’re Waiting”.

Club insiders said the Bombers were counting down the days to their Round 3 clash with the Blues saying, despite a heavy injury count and very young team, Essendon beat Carlton twice in 2008.

The 2009 clash is expected to be Victorian tribal warfare at its best and has the hall-marks of a classic encounter between two young, improving Victorian teams desperate to return to finals action. A crowd of around 80,000 people is expected.

In general, the 2009 season is shaping as a big one for Victorian football with the likely resurgence of Essendon, Carlton and Richmond and the expected success of Collingwood, Hawthorn and Geelong.

Essendon has two massive Victorian rivalry clashes with Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond and Hawthorn next year.
A recent poll, run on essendonfc.com.au, showed that Carlton is the team Essendon fans most enjoy beating.

Haha oh those bombers! They wouldn't want to make themselves look half intelligent and come up with their own slogan would they? Just when I thought Collingwood's 'we are beautiful' was great, you have Watson with his back to the Wall like Essendon and Mcveigh putting on a face that Tyra Banks would surely be happy with. Essendon fans would need Viagra to get excited about this photo

Waiting for numbers to put on their jumpers?
Is Jobe undecided who his favourite player is and can't choose what number to put on his back?

 

[BlueMania]

Thats funny. Is that a navy blue background ? Bluetiful aint it !

I mean, is a picture of a barely AFL-standard footballer like Jobe Watson meant to be intimidating? lol. Almost as funny as the Collingwood "we are beautiful" cringeworthy debacle. Anyway, nice to see the Blues act, and the others react, albeit kinda meekly. It's how it should be.

i find it funny how Essendon are comparing themselves with Carlton and Richmond and are expecting that they will have a recurgence

 

[Abaddon]

LOL@McVeigh & Watson. Surely these two aren't as good as they can offer???

Of course the reality is the Dons list is still a bit of a mess. Their midfield lacks any top-shelf talent thanks to poor top-up recruiting by Sheeds in his latter years. The forwardline is run by 2, well-past their-best veterans, and their defense was a complete debacle in 2008. Even though they know this, it's not the sort of thing they want to promote if they're seeking membership dollars. Knights was also a left-overs coaching appointment. They are still about 2-3 years from bottoming out. Oh and I've lost count of how many times a Richmond 9th finish was thought to be a "resurgence". lol. The fact that 5 of their starting 22 in 2009 will be 31 years old or older, suggests the 28 years of consecutive failure at Tigerland is set to continue.

I like it how their slogan is "They know we're waiting." Is it just me, why would a club want to to be "waiting" at the bottom of the ladder. It sends the message that they are satisfied with their current position. While ours on the other hand is saying that we are moving forward.

What a pathetic football club, I didn't think I would ever say this but I would rather Collingwoods slogan

That poster has had the bottom cut off... I saw the original and it says

They know we're waiting....

....To be delisted.

 

[celtic_pride]

Essendon FC = Scum Club with scum supporters ...

I couldn't give a 4%$# what they think about us, they have a convicted woman basher playing for them FFS ...

So true. The Dons are also "waiting" for...

1. A Midfield
2. A new coach
3. A defense that concedes less that 2600 points a season.
4. Matty Lloyd to finally retire.

Yep, it's all about waiting at Bomberland.

I think they are, otherwise they'd have Dads Army in Lloyd, Lucas and Flectcher....

..... and for someone to offer anything for Andrew Lovett or his contract to run out, which ever comes first

.... and they are waiting to find a decent marketing department, I hear the people that did Collingwoods are looking for work

"Club insiders said the Bombers were counting down the days to their Round 3 clash with the Blues saying, despite a heavy injury count and very young team, Essendon beat Carlton twice in 2008" this thread is hilarious!

Agreed.

Keep it coming guys.

 

[mightymightyblues]

With princess players like Mcveigh and Watson,, Essendon have surely now also taken a page out of Collingwood's book. Should be known as "they know we're beautiful."

poor ripoff just like lebanons version of adidas ...... abidas

No it isn't...it's Adididas.

Agreed.

Keep it coming guys.

But you have to admit "taunting" us with Jobe Watson V Judd + Stevens + Murph + Gibbs is just a little funny. I haven't laughed this much since Matty Lloyd put Ryder and Gumbleton up for Judd Trade-Bait last year.

Even funnier when Sheedy was scheming behind his back to trade Lloyd himself!

I wonder which one came first.

Sheedy: Matty, i'm trading you for Chris Judd
Lloyd (knee jerk reaction to save his own ass): "We're going to trade Ryder or Gumbleton for Chris Judd!"

Or, or

Lloyd: "We're going to trade Ryder or Gumbleton for Chris Judd!"
Sheedy: Matty, you're a #$%&head, i'm trading YOU for Chris Judd you jackass
Lloyd: (undermines Sheedy and tries to get him out of the coaching job, this time being successful after unsuccessful attempts in 1998)


ROFL could it be any funnier?

We need an official "What are Essendon Actually Waiting For?" thread. If anyone needs a "We are Waiting" slogan, it would have to be the Richmond Football Club. It's been a pan-generational 28 years of "waiting" down at Tigerland.
