Get a grip people and move on ffs.
There's nothing wrong with being proud....I'm just finding it rather pathetic that people are dragging up Coleman, Hird and Lloyd in order to find something positive about the club.robrulz5 wrote:swoodley wrote:It's getting really sad when we start dragging out pictures of past players and stories about players from 60 years ago.![]()

So we shouldn't be proud of our clubs great history?
I don't think their is much wrong with looking back at past glories, if there is then what was the point in them occuring in the first place?swoodley wrote:There's nothing wrong with being proud....I'm just finding it rather pathetic that people are dragging up Coleman, Hird and Lloyd in order to find something positive about the club.robrulz5 wrote:swoodley wrote:It's getting really sad when we start dragging out pictures of past players and stories about players from 60 years ago.![]()

If everyone's so proud of the club...why don't you all start acting like you're proud (whilst recognising that we cannot always be at or near the top).
All the whining and moaning makes you all sound like Richmond supporters.
Each to their own Windy...as I have stated here, I'm over the nostalgia and prefer to look forward. I see nothing irrational in my earlier post but if that's how you view it, then so be it.Windy_Hill wrote:Seriously Swoods, I always took you as a rational, sensible poster on BT but this outbreak of "scrooge like humbuggery" is really disappointing. The picture I posted was featured in todays Herald Sun and I thought, what a teriffic shot of two club legends. I even apologised for being a little "indulgent"
Yes, "once we were warriors" and I am sorry if you dont like reminiscing over past glories or former club champions. For me however, and for a lot of us, its a wonderful form of therapy that in difficult times, we can still call upon an incredible club history. It kind of reminds as to why we love Essendon.
Regrettably, the team's performances of late dont really lead me to posting "fluff pieces" about our wonderful potential. The last time I did that, my good friend Gimpo reminded me to stop looking through the red and black tinted glasses. He was right.
So, yeah, as sad as it may be, right now its somewhat comforting to remember what made us great and to know that because of this culture, we will be great again.

Oh yeah of course Hirdy and Lloydy will always be unique and one of a kind players of the club!! I suppose i meant that we can have some other young players becoming superstars in the future.robrulz5 wrote:Don't think so, they are both one of a kind.Mrs Mercuri wrote: We have to stay positive about our future and that the next "Lloyd and Hird" type aren't that far away...
Although we have a few players who could become greats of the club. Guys like Hurley, Pears and Ryder (if he pulls his finger out).
