2012 will be most like what past season and why?

Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

I would take a '98 type season, we were competitive in every game and our biggest loss was only 24 points. As for '99 f*** no.

98 was a breakthrough season for us, I think about it frequently and I'm really glad someone has mentioned it. We where never in the hunt for a flag but played consistently good footy week in week out. If we can play anything like we did that year I would be wrapped (probably helped that we unearthed a couple of talents by the names of Lucas and Lloyd that year).

I expect Hurley will make much the same mark on the comp as Lloyd and Lucas did in 98

He'd have to kick about 120 goals!
