ESSENDON NAMED TEAM OF THE YEAR

[walshy1993]

and rightly so.
Essendon was last night named the Australian Domestic Team of the Year at the Australian Sports Industry Awards in Adelaide. The Bombers beat an outstanding field which included the brisbane Broncos, Melbourne Phoenix and the perth Wildcats to win the award. Kevin Sheedy was nominated for the Australian Coach of the Year award but that went to Hockeyroos coach Ric Charlesworth.

Essendon chief executive Peter Jackson said it was a great honor for the club to win such an award. "There is such an array of high quality sporting teams in the country and to be voted the best of those is a great honor for this club," Jackson said. "This whole club worked exceptionally hard to achieve the results of last season and everyone associated with Essendon Football Club should be proud of this achievement." Essendon is the first AFL side to be recognised at the ASI awards.

I think people realised that.
Congratulations Bombers you certainly deserved the award. Hopefully, the Bombers will turn their form around & win it again this year.

Because they are from Canberra.

 

[Grave Danger]

Well thank goodness for that - the squealing on here from Bombers fans would have been unbearable otherwise.

Congrats Essendon, I think you will be a chance for the New Idea peoples choice award as well.
Good luck.

 

[cambad]

Well, one thing's for sure....they won't be named The Team of this year

Why not we win everything else.

 

[Agent 86]

Yep, totally deserved McEssendon.
Were they the same awards that named Karrie Webb Female Sports Personality of the Year or something like that? She's probably the best Aussie sportsperson from last year, but I thought an actual personality would be a pre-requisite to win an award like that?

Except for this years Ansett Cup, but then you weren't trying to win that so your point is still valid.

The Managatang Thirds should have won it!!!

**go the Thirds**

 

[Richmondfan#1]

Well done Bombers. A fine achievement. Try doing it again this year ...

 

[Dan26]

Not many teams have deserved an award such as this as much as the Essendon team of 2000. I was just a bit disppointed that we failed to win the Superbowl, Wimbledon, the FA CUP, the World Series, and the British Open in 2000. Maybe this year.

 

[Same Old's]

Dan, we're taking it one sports event at a time. There's no need to rush things.

 

[magpie_joffa]

Fair dinkum your all a pack of suckholes!!!

Joffa,

There are a lot of people here who don't suck up to Essendon, nor give two hoots over an award that has no bearing on the 2001 season.

We still have a gold cup so nananannaanaanan

blahhhhhhh

(another comment by your friendly team of Kangawhingers)

 

[jod23]

How the hell do you give an award out like that. What makes Essendon better than the Broncos or the Wildcats or any team?

I dont get it, i wonder how its voted on?

 

[eastaugh36]

maybe because we lost only 1 game for the year ?
