Jealousy – it really is the most powerful of emotions.

Isn’t it funny how when a team runs into some successful times, jealous opposition supporters want to stick the boot in and undermine that particular club. I have heard more criticism of essendon, it’s supporters, it’s players, and it’s history on this site in the last week that I think I have seen written anywhere in the last five years combined. No-one was giving this much crap to the bombers last year when they were winning against all expectations. That criticism was reserved for the kangaroos. Yet this year, when the bombers are expected to win, (and ARE winning), opposition supporters like to dig the heels in.

Jealousy. That’s all it is. The criticism on this site that I have read in the last week has had no merit whatsoever. Comments about “sukky” and “w***er” essendon supporters have absolutely no merit whatsoever – they are simply spiteful comments from jealous opposition supporters who wish that THEIR team (and not the bombers) was being so successful. Comments on previous performances – ie the “choking” preliminary final issue have no relevance at all. Any REAL supporter knows that your team is only as good as it’s LAST performance, not last years performance.

At the moment the essendon football club stands alone on the top of the ladder with an undefeated record, which is the unbridled envy of all other clubs and supporters. It’s list is deep, consistent and strong, it’s coaching staff brilliant, it’s supporters plentiful. And unfortunately, this makes supporters of other clubs jealous.

So when reading the inevitable criticism which will follow this post – just remember that it is all due to jealousy.

Essendon is on top and undefeated. Learn to live with it.

what is there to be jealous of, have you won any premierships, I do remember you having a few early draft picks a couple of years ago.

GO ROOS, REIGNING PREMIERS.
 
Come on Rooboy admit it, you booed Lloydy along with rest. Come on it's all part of the fun. I admire Carey and wouldn't mind him in our side but , when he stuffs up (not often I admit) it's great. For F-----s sake enjoy it!!
 
Oh Sorry! all the rest was History that obviously a name change erases, How convenient. So anything under North Melbourne doesn't count either?. Please advise because we weren't aware of the revisionist theory of History espoused by you all.
 
I agree with you Staggy, the fans who are writing in these messages are jealous of your team. I remember in the early to mid 90's when the Eagles were despised, the only possible reason was jealousy. Most rival supporters today still seem to fate West Coast, but perhaps not with so much passion as they once did. I personally don't like the Bombers for one reason, a family we are close with are all Essendon fans. We hope they lose every week, otheriwse we have to put up with their bragging, there was nothing better than last years prelim final *smirk*. Also that jacket waving thing has created some rivalry between the teams. Both teams usually also both have good gard fought contests, though scores have been known to blow out one way or the other. Anyway if Essendon doesn't win the flag this year there is defintely something wrong with them. It hurts me to admit this but Essendon are so much btter than the rest of the competition.
 
When the pope goes Rooboy gets my vote. What a saint!!! Lenny you should take note bagger boy

Dave I think you have lost the point, I wasn't trying to be smart I was stating a fact.
How many VFA premierships has Essendon won?
nobody cares, do they?
so in twenty or thirty years no one will care about VFL premierships, get the point.

VFA history is no less important the VFL history, only if you know your history.
 
"North Melbourne Football Club" is still our registered name , you twit, "Kangaroos" is the name we use for marketing purposes.

Grow a brain, please.
 
I'd change the name then because going by your crowd figures the "marketing" isn't happening.

Sooner in Sydney the better! 19,000 people in Stadium Australia should be great look.

I'd call you names but that is beneath me.
 
Longjohn, when you move to Sydney what will your trading name be then? Regardless of any technicality, your clubs competition name has changed. If changing a competitions name when it's structure remained virtually the same invalidates it's existing records then so would changing a clubs competitin name. Nice to see you're still resorting to abuse when you can't win an argument too. Take a lesson from Shinboners, at least he can argue the point.

Rooboy, the VFA's premierships are meaningless to current fans, but the reason for that is that when the VFL was formed the VFA continued in it's own right. When the VFL changed it's name to the AFL it was just that, a NAME change, not a new competition. That's why Plugger's kicked 1300 goals, Johnny Blakey's played 300 games etc etc. Essendon may well have won only one flag since the competition changed its' name, but they've won 15 flags overall, and no matter how much you or longjohn bleat about it that will remian a fact.
 
Our move to Sydney should be easy. We're getting the same crowd number as that League crap Sigh !!!!
 
The reason why i resent essendon is because they are a pack of gutless scum who love to brag about winning the pitiful ansett cup. OH yeah Illja Grgic is the most pathetic ruckman i've ever seen in my life. James Hird is obviously a good player, however i've heard rumors that he [deleted a bit here - sorry], and that he tried to get rid of sheedy at the end of 98, but chickened out at the last moment. As far as i'm concerned the only good thing to come out of windy hill is Bomber Thompson
