considering the number of times st.kilda are knocked for having 27 spoons,its interesting they have only 1 since 2000 and yet carlton have 3 and the tiges 2
Yeah luckily for us the OP only posted from the 1990s onwards. Don't bother looking at our 80s record, nothing to see there...
i can see why you are number 2

Lucky weve moved on since then to regular finals appearance, multiple grand finals and prelims and even a flag. And what have you guys have done since 2000/2001? O thats right, taken drugs and still been mediocre. What a club.You do the party drugs,we'll do the performance enhancers
16-15. I know it hurts to have 2, yes 2 clubs above you in the only ladder that counts. It amuses me no end.

Ah yes. Typical essendon and scum supporters realizing how shit they are in the modern era so they refer to flags they won in 1903 or whenever even though they weren't even alive for in a argument. That no one even cares about now we are a NATIONAL comp. I guess I can understand you referring to it though. I mean after Wada, asada, acc and the afl tear your anus apart. All you'll have is a past and we will all be better for it.
Ps. Nice way to dodge. Not.

This comment is ironic coming from a Collingwood supporter considering you blokes constantly tell us about your 15 flags, 11 of which were won before World War II.

I hate when people do this.
They bring up bullshit a few guys said month ago and ramble on about it.
No one cares.
Fair point.
maggot supporter with the tag "number 2" How apt.
And don't get us started about frigging "four in a row"...!
Since that '99 season, we have won the same amount of flags (which is what actually matters) as you have.
Haha.
What a club indeed.
'Do you have any of those microphones left?!'
'Yeah, a couple.'
Instead of season results - some individual 'worst' efforts.
The above are the only team to have had their opponent score ten times as many points as they did in a match since 1961.
You can see who made up the Fremantle team here:
http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/2009/010820090711.html
There have been only 18 match-day teams that have had their scores multiplied by a factor of 10 or more
in the history of the League 1897-2012 - the highest factor being St Kilda having their score of 1 point being multiplied by a factor of 161 by Geelong in 1899.
Above are the only team in the history of the League 1897-2012 to have lost every quarter by at least 36 points.
Melbourne's team for that match: http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1979/061119790728.html
Since the League altered its name in 1990 the most any team has lost each quarter by has been 30 points in the above match.
The Firzroy squad responsible is here: http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1991/061019910428.html
Above: The only team ever to conceded 50 or more points every quarter.
Melbourne's team that day: http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/2011/091120110730.html
Besides Melbourne against Fitzroy in 1979 (see above), Essendon in round 20 1992 came the closest to concededing 50 points each quarter when Hawthorn scored 55,55,57 and 49 in quarters 1,2,3 and 4 against them.
Quantifying the overall 'worst' is impossible but the men in the losing teams mentioned above were really not playing well as a team in those matches.

Would prefer to win 1 grand final out of 4/5 (depends how you count the draw) Than not be in finals at all. What are you flogs going to rest your moral caps on when it is clearly inevitable that Carlton and Collingwood will past your premiership total that makes you the be all and end all and act like everyone cares how good you were in the 20s/30s/40s etc.

Listen mate, we're priming ourselves for a surge. We have every opportunity of obtaining that #17 before you or the Blues. You had your chance.
Also, why do you keep bringing up old times when it is your club that has only won 2 flags in the last 60 years?
AFL era flags -
Essendon: 2
Collingwood: 2
AFL era spoons -
Essendon: 0
Collingwood: 1
Face it, the Pies are masters at lost opportunities, none of which means anything.
Our club is built on success, it demands it.

I realise your club demands success. That's why you put your whole squad on performance enhancing drugs. And you still didn't get it. Couldn't even make finals. There's no need to be hating.

1930s? Champ, just stop, you are clearly out of your depth.
Essendon didn't make finals once in the 1930s, it is the worst decade of the club's history.
As noted, don't go throwing stones when you're in a glass house either.

Hahahaha. What exactly have you been doing here, fella, if not hating? You tried to quote "modern era" statistics, got absolutely shredded and now are trying to once again peddle the "club orchestrated PEDs" argument that has been all but thrown out the window. Read a newspaper, peanut
By the way, "number two", just in case you missed it, it means poo.
