[grassy1]

Ouch!

[s'dreams]

It is really sad to note that Jake Carlisle, who everyone said was a loser who left us to go to a loser club ...

... has played in more winning finals matches than Jobe Watson, Tom Bellchambers, Zac Merrett, Michael Hurley, Dyson Heppell, Joe Daniher ... in fact everyone except those who played finals elsewhere and then came to us...

Jobe played in the winning Elim Final of 2004.

But yeah...

I’m going to coin the phrase “depressendon” to describe the psychological response to our bewildering football club.

More fun facts...

In EFC history, there has only been a total of 3 decades that have not yielded a premiership;

1930 - 1939
1970 - 1979
2010 - 2019

Please stop it with the stats Ben its making me depressed. I get to wondering when it might happen again, even though we have new talent but we have to hope it never rains again in the winter.

Essing-done that's us and we will be in the wilderness for a long time if the club will not eat humble pie and clean up their own dirty mess. We need help to right our wrongs. If tptb continue to keep doing what they've been doing, this club will fold.

Might as well just say it. We’re Effing-done

Margins in losses this year....
Geel 66
Bris 22
Melb 29
Frem 48
Coll 11
WB 32
Syd 58
Rich 32
Port 16
Carl 26
WC 10
Coll 4
GWS 27
Port 84
Rich 66

Out of all of those, I can live with the Coll games as we tried hard, maybe even the better side overall.
The losses to WC and GWS are unforgivable given where those two sides were at this year.
Losses 8+ goals are unforgivable.
Anyway...not sure why I'm tormenting myself and others! My apologies.

Hirdy do not allow these people on the EFC Board to throw you under a bus again. The place is a mess. Wait. Do not come back now to this club. This Board although they are spouting promises like raindrops how they have changed or will change, it all sounds like wank to most of us. Wait, be patient, not now please.
