for essendon supporters

[magpie_joffa]

It has come to my attention of late that you supporters really think you are so good.Ok you barrack for a team that seems to do everything so well.But let this beloved magpie give you a sound warning enjoy it,soak in it and more importantly keep all newspaper clippings and videos...Why????

Cause it will not last thats exactly right
your dominance over the competition will not last and you cant expect it to last!!im not saying for one minute that your club is going to fall in a big hole but gradually over the next few years your club essendon will stumble and fall from greatness.What worries me about this,Is the teenage supporters of essendon dont know what bad times are,go ask your folks and they will tell you that not so long ago essendon were getting their arses kicked by all week after week, how will you all handle IT when the good times finish and believe you me they will finish.Be proud and gracious with what your team has done allready.And be weary of trodding on those teams that get trodded on now week after week cause the tables will turn its one of the many mysteries in life.

How do i know all this, i have loved my club as premiers and i have loved them more being wooden spooners. we the collingwood people through no fault of ours have done it hard
so enjoy all the success that comes your way cause it will not last.

Essendon won more games this year than Collingwood have won since the 1990 Grand Final.

I can see that Mathematics is not your strong point, JUBJUB.

Let's see,
You've tried your hand at humour with that Cathy Freeman joke. That was pretty woeful, so I don't think you'll make it as a comedian.

Is there anything you're good at? Cheer up kid, there's gotta be something you can do with your life.

Hey, I know. What about suicide?

Nah, on second thoughts you'd probably stuff that up too.

Ah well. Just enjoy the next few months as an Essendon fan. It's true what Joffa says, JUBJUB. This really is as good as it's gonna get, kid. There's only one way to go from here, mate. And that's down. And the way you arrogant tossers have behaved towards us lately, you can't expect any sympathy from us when the situation is inevitably reversed.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

What I can't get is that it wasn't until I came on here that I find Essendon supporters like that. I know many Essendon supporters and only one thinks they are so good, the rest are enjoying it while it is there. I think I remember, as I was only in year 2, when the Eagles won the 1992 grandfinal and of course I was happy but I think we were pretty high and mighty then. So thats what premierships do. Now I am getting to know what it is like to be down below, for only the 3rd time we are out of the 8 in our entire existence but we may still add a couple of years onto that. Oh well, you take it in the good times, you stay and take it in the bad.

 

[JUBJUB]

ALF -I don't barrack for Essendon.

 

[AlfAndrews]

Sorry about that, JUBJUB. I've been cruel haven't I? Not only do I bag the shit out of you, but I mistake you for an Essendon supporter. What an insult!!!

Actually, I just got a bit nosey and checked out your profile. And your occupation is listed as "comedian". I didn't actually know that when I made that comment that you'd make a lousy comedian.

Geez, mate. I hope that Cathy joke isn't an example of your work.

Perhaps you'd better tell us a few more jokes and see if you can redeem yourself.

Oh, and in case you're a bit unstable and sort of teetering on the edge, as it were, I didn't really mean that comment that you should consider suicide. I'm really not as nasty as I might have come across. I only picked on you because you've got an annoying habit of bagging the Pies.

Alf the only way from here isnt down, we can still improve and essendon will be better
how???
We have a depth of young talent who are only going to improve with experience
Solomon, mark and jason johnson, ramanauskas,lloyd, blumfield, caracella, heffernan are all still young and will get better
henneman, jacobs, mcveigh, hille are all future champions
rioli is to come back, no one has seen exactly how good this guy is, he has uncanny skills
and also hird and lucas will benifit fromt his season after returning from injury and will also be better next year
and when you add the class of long, mercuri, misiti, hardwick and fletcher to that things can only get better


The only way is up

 

[AlfAndrews]

Walshy,

Have you ever thought of getting a job in Public Relations. That was a pretty impressive piece of spin doctoring.

[magpie_joffa]

walshy

dont beleve everything you read in the newspapers.Essendon will fall on bad times
you have a champion team.But like i said it wont last forever your coach kevin sheedy said recently on radio,that as a realist he is now enjoying the good times at essendon cause football teams is like buying a brand new car it looks good runs awesome does everything you want it to but try buying a guarantee with it to say it will never break down,well said sheeds!!

 

[walshy1993]

magpir joffa you come on here telling us that essendon are on a downhill run and that kevin sheedy has admitted it
then you tell me dont believe everything you read in the paper, that is a contridiction in itself

if kevin sheedy was to come out and say that he has one of the greatest teams of all times you would call him arrogant, if he said we can win 3 of the next 6 premierships you would call him arrogant

dont worry about what sheedy says, he has it all planed out, he know exactly what to say
pre finals when asked if this side was a great one he said they havent won anything yet
then after the finals he said they still havent made up for 1999, they had to win this one but they still really hadnt accomplished anything
the bombers are here to stay, and sheeds knows exactly what he has in his corner and its only going to get better, even post sheedy, whenever that may be, mark harvey has shown promise and is ready to step in
there is only one thing stopping this efc side from becoming the greatest ever and that is attitude
and i think they have that under control

 

[sandie]

We may in the distant future have a down turn, but I bet it won't be down as far as the pies one is now.
Walshy, what I am hoping for after Sheeds retires, is for Bomber to return to his rightful home & join Harvs as co coach.

[walshy1993]

sandie wouldnt that be great
harvs, bomber and td all in the one coaches box, actually that could be a bad thing, they might have to much fun and not take the game serious, all we would need then is for simon madden to come back as ruck coach, timmy watson as skills coach and vander as.....vander as.....um well maybe end of season trip coach, and the fab 6 would all be back together again

 

[sandie]

Walshy
You forgot Daisy Williams another party animal.

[sandie]

Damn I forgot Glen Hawker, why not go for broke & have the whole 84 & 85 team on the coaching panel, what an awesome outfit that would be. No one would get near us, plus the after match functions would be a blast.

[magpie_joffa]

ummm no i did not sat that walshy all im tryin to say is enjoy it now ok cause essendon will not be the dominance as it is now for ever, how hard is that to understand!!
As for what sheeds said is very true,You can have the greatest car but nothing will ever stop that car from breaking down.Only a fool would think otherwise.

Also make it your business to know which teams journalist barrack for cause just like us they can get carried away by the moment!!

 

[Dan26]

Magpie-Joffa,

Oh, I'm afraid the success will last, buddy. Maybe there won't be many 21-1 seasons, but we are a well-run, financially stable, well supported, club. On and off the field.

We aren't run complacently like Collingwood. Complacency was Collingwoods main problem after their 1990 Grand Final win (we were a better team than you that year, I might add, even though we didn't win the Grand Final itself)

We are the most successful, most well supported club in the comp. No argument. And the support is here to stay. We have ALWAYS had huge support (even back in the 1940's), since we have always been sucessfull. Our success now is making for even more Bomber fans to piss off everyone else over the next 25 years. We already have nearly 20% of the support of Victoria and it is growing (unlike Collingwoods, whose is decreasing exponentially)


ESSENDON - ENVY OF THE NATION.

It's amusing how Collingwood like to "think" they are envied, whilst everyone regards them as a laughing stock of underachievers. I mean 3 premierships in the last 64 completed seasons is pretty funny if you ask me.

So, I'm lapping it up, while we are successful, but deep down, I truly believe that we will continue to be successful. But as our disappointing 1997-98 seaosn prove, we still pull in the crowds no matter where we are.

 

[Bombers forever]

Too true

 

[Warren.T]

Joffa,
That's exactly what we're doing. ENJOYING IT.
And we aren't all teenagers. I'm 20.

 

[magpie_joffa]

Just a little warning dan

dont push it cause you will be very very sorry!!!

Now before you rush on to reply to this
i have given you a fair warning ok

just be very careful mate.

 

[Warren.T]

joffa,

Why the hell should he be scared?

 

[magpie_joffa]

Hey warren

this is between me and dan only
seeing as half or nearly all of his posts on
here are directed at me!!!

But out and mind your own business ok.

 

[Dan26]

Magpie-Joffa,

Be careful of what ? What should I be careful of ?

I'll be sorry will I ? And why is that ? Is big bad Joffa going to come around to my house and beat me up, is he ?

Grow up you tool.

 

[Dan26]

I'm shaking.

 

[Warren.T]

Listen joffa,
This is a public board and I can say WHATEVER i want.

 

[Dan26]

You tell him Wozza.
