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.
