EFC Fun Facts

To this day: 9630

If you combine red & black droughts it’s 16,705 days

Add a few more Feb 29's I think and I ended up with

9633

I think the days are inclusive of what I posted

Oh,.....3 days less then?



Had our chances late 2020,but made the fatal mistake of sitting on an 8 point lead with the Breeze,instead of storming home with a Wet Sail.

Very Essendon like aye…

Sigh,..........Yessssssssss!

Actually did the Interchange the day we actually Won our last League Final.

Thankfully,in the days before Rotations started to get rolling.

Them good ol’ days were much simpler then. I wonder how many interchanges were made back in the day. I recall that it was seldom used… basically only more major onfield misdemeanours and perhaps to patch up some biggie or wound.

I reckon some used to come off and have a sausage roll (or in the case of Vander, a couple of dimmies). Who knows, stretching further back they might have snuck in a dart or a can

Whee we. You think about it, has the standard of play improved since the sanitisation of there diets abs ?

Maybe that clock needs to be wound back a bit so we don’t set the game up to hemorrhagic proportions

I know it wasn't getting Writer's Cramp,sitting on the bench then.

Had 6NR's and former Demon,Chubby Stiles on the bench next to me,crossing over to Minno up top.

Imagine being out there these days. You’d be going dust busters with the constant rotations and mishaps!

Big case for RSI Claim.

Done differently these days.I don't think Champion Data do the Interchange,but whoever does it,would still be pretty busy.Maybe one person for each team.

There’s a lot going on down there these days. The interchange steward / gate keeper keeping an eye who’s coming off /on etc and trying to ensure no extra players are on the field. The rate of changes breing made is insane. You sometimes see3 players coming off at the same time! Inevitable problems will occur.

That is an amazing statistic, Ben - thanks for putting it together.

As well as highlighting how pathetic and sad we have been for the past 20 years (obviously), it also shows just how good we were in the previous 20 years. Oh, how I miss those days!!
