Surfing for pr0n stuffed my computer. I now have viruses and crap that I don't know how to get rid of, and I keep on getting pop-ups, telling me to buy their product to fix "critical errors."

pr0n aside, I did a thread a year or so ago, about our results in "less than a goal" games, and we were something like 4 losses (in the H&A) from 36 matches decided by less than a kick.

As for one-pointers, (and this is all from memory) we beat Carlton by a point in 1994 and 1998. We beat Richmond by a point in a crap game in 2002. We Beat Freo by a point in 1996 at the 'G. We beat Melbourne by a point in the comeback game in '92. So that's 5 off the top of my head (in recent history)

We lost to Carlton in '99, Sydney in '96, Brisbane in '96 (all finals) and Sydney again in 1997 at the SCG by a point. And of course Hawthorn on Sunday. So that's 5-5, if my calculations are correct.

The original thread I made in early 2004 is http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108287&highlight=goal+close

I made it after we beat the Eagles by a goal in 2004 in the "Hird" game. We won a final against Melbourne in 2004 by 5 points. We lost to Carlton in round 2 last year by a couple of points, and Hawthorn on Sunday. And we also won a game by less than a goal against the Hawks last year.
 
With our loss to Hawthorn, our record is now 10 losses from our last 44 games decided by less than a goal since 1990.

Lost 4 out of 5 in finals.

Lost 6 out of 38 in H&A football.

The match on Sunday was Essendon's third H&A loss (H&A) by less than a goal in Victoria since 1991. We had one loss in 1991, then we waited 14 years to see another one live in round 2 last year, and now a third on Sunday.

Losing 6 out of 38 games in Home and Away football (when, by rights, it should be 50-50) is pretty amazing. Betcha any money we will start losing a few now. We are "owed" a few by the footy Gods and it's already starting to go against us.

I know we've had a good run, so you won't hear any complaints from me, when they inevitably go against us.

Stuff it, I'll complain. I hate losing.

So do I. Not the manner of small margins, the fact we have f--ked up two weeks in a row.

We really need west coast to beat the living :D:D:D:D out of us. Maybe that will wake the players up.

You guys need to work out where to get your pr0n from.

Lot's of pr0n here and no virus' or problems

Speaking of pr0n, I can say that whoever watched last nights game got taken up the arse. What a rubbish match.
