While I'll be the first to always lay into Essendon, weren't they coming to the "end" of their era around that time anyway. They really should have won 99 (therefore going back to back), but they really ****ed it up. (And boy did I enjoy watching it happen
)
And on the flip side there are not so great sides that do go back to back. Adelaide are the prime example that come to mind.
It will be tough and there's usually at least one team who makes a great improvement. (What's the stat.. one team from the bottom eight, will make the top 4?)
Anyway, I agree. Put the lid back on and lets just make it thru the pre-season first!

The other thing to remember with that Essendon side is that they overpaid too many guys and had to get rid of many of their middle rung players like Heffernan, Blumfield and Caracella.
Personally, I think we should do it if we are switched on. All of the other sides in the comp are either falling away or not quite ready yet. We are the only ones who have the mix spot on at this point.
