Roast Where's the lid?

[lamaros]

Some people were trying to keep it on after round one, but it seems to be slipping off for good now.

Which I think is good. Top 4 here we come!

Some of you guys are turkeys. Just a few weeks ago you were going hard on a few supporters for getting excited in the NAB cup and round one, yet we beat a very poor saints outfit and off of a sudden you're all up and about posting like we've won a final?

It's hypocritical and embarrassing.

Name names. Gobble gobble. Who are the turkeys? Gobble gobble

 

[Jade]

Stuff that.

We're winning, most of the league is scared s***less, I'm happy.

I've put up with losing, I'm not about to NOT enjoy winning for a change.

 

[TeamHurley]

Someone put a lid on Lameros.
gobble gobble gobbbbleee

I DESTROYED IT b

 

[UrLordUnbeliever]

Hell who says I can't enjoy the Bombers beating the Saints. I hate the goddamn Saints.
That doesn't mean I think we're going to definately make the 8 or anything though.

 

[adii_7]

ulu.. i hate 16 sides..

To paraphrase Maggie Thatcher, "Who are they, what are their names, where do they live?".

And to quote my old boss, "you may as well make some noise when you are winning, no-one listens when you are losing".


Put it this way, if we were to lose every game from now to the end of the season would it make any difference how much shit we'd cop or how crap we'd feel because we've enjoyed the 2 wins so far?? Would it be any better if we'd stayed mute? This is a forum for discussing footy ffs.

Some people just don't see the fun even if it's right in front of them.


The mood around this board has been pretty bloody dismal for a few years...so why wouldn't we lift the lid a tiny fraction.


Let table tennis start GF threads, let people gloat about smashing last year's grand finalists, lets lift the lid and let the joy spew forth from our keyboards. We deserve it god damn it!!!

Untill our next loss....then its back to serious discussions.

 

[lamaros]

I seem to have miscommunicated myself in this thread. Carry on!

 

[Kong]

My only qualm is with "top 8 guaranteed" type threads. But I don't care that it makes the rest of us look bad or anything like that. My skin's thicker than that.

As said, our supporters have had - for the most part - a rubbish 6 or 7 years. We may as well enjoy it now that it appears we're in for some better times. It's exciting!

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Screw the lid, go mental!

Even though I think Essendon will finish anywhere between 6-10, if we win on Saturday I will use it as incontrovertible proof that we're a top 4 side.

Premature calls, wild predictions, and generally acting like an overly-optimistic one-eyed tool is the most fun part of winning!

 

[Here_we_come]

I don't think many essendon fans are getting that carried away. Some probably are, and I've read the occasional tongue in cheek comment on here, but that's to be expected for any club after a few impressive wins.

The hype is coming more from opposition supporters and the media. Most on the main board tipped us to be 0-5 after round 5 ffs, even after our nab cup.

I think essendon supporters, as a whole, seem to be more objective - probably because the last 6 years has shown us how fast things can go pear shaped. And I think most of us would probably think we'd finish around the bottom half of the 8. Perhaps a little higher than their earlier predictions but probably not too extreme I would think.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Not liking large amount of comments posted by Bombers fans claiming we are now a very good side and that we will definitely beat the Blues this weekend. Remember when Carlton talked about their chances claiming we were easy beats, now the shoe is on the other foot so maybe it would be a bit better for us to keep our mouths closed this week at least.

 

[The Donners]

I'll lift the lid this year if we win the premiership or at a stretch if we make a GF. I'm happy the way we're playing at the moment and think with the current form we're a tough opposition.

 

[Yoda_]

The higher the lid rises, the harder the fall!!

 

[Walesy]

Where's the lid- it's goooooornski. Other teams will talk their trash if we fall, regardless of what happens now, so let's just enjoy the ride.

Carn the Bombers! Let's see an 8 goal to 2 first quarter next week fall into a 40 point win!

 

[Rack Watts]

Stuff the lid! Not expressing excitement and happiness about a passion is just silly, it makes all the down times worth it.
Give it to them kids!

 

[pepsi]

I for one have enjoyed our 2 wins this season and celebrated with plenty of gusto. I love the club and when we are playing well and winning I am going to enjoy it as much as possible. The last few years we have had a lot more downs than ups, so why not enjoy the ups when you have them?

I am not saying we will win the flag this year. But if we keep up this level for a major part of the season we should make the finals.

But of course, and if we win, we'll use it as proof that Carlton are no good in the lead up to Anzac Day - "Now let's not get ahead of ourselves, it was only Carlton....."
