Could be worse......

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

Could be worse......

Post by robbie67 »

....we could be Freo. What's their ******* excuse? All the talent in the world, and blow a 7 goal lead against Melbourne? They'd be hoping the plane arrives back in Perth in the middle of the night, and lock their doors for a few days.

I'm not sure it could be worse - we have injuries to over 10 key players. Take 10 first team players out of any side and they will always struggle for depth. And it's a vicious cycle too because the uninjured players have completely lost the confidence gained in the pre-season and start of the season.

Yep the World is over. Injuries, form, coaching, indifferance, and general shitness have ruined any culture we ever had. :roll:

Get serious. What would our club do with Freo's talent?

I agree Robbie, we manage to play alright at bits tonight and we have injuries and they don't have an excuse. May be bottom 2 West Australian teams. Good I say.

Ahem. I believe it was 8 goals.

I work with a passionately one-eyed Melbourne fan and he spent all Thursday telling me how crap the Dees were. I told him that this is exactly the sort of game Freo would throw - coming off a big effort only to lose by 1 point, season over, a few injuries, cold Melbourne day, no crowd to get them pumped up. I know it's a cop-out, but it's all to do with their 'culture' - same deal as St Kilda. They're just a basket case of a club.

I'm quite happy watching the kids going around. The great thing about being an Essendon supporter is that we know we won't be on the bottom forever.
