Essendon = Entitlement
- Thread starter Number8
- Start date
Sometime last year they went past our bad run of recent years. By my calculations we won a final on 15th September 2001 against Carlton and the next one was September 8th 2017 vs Geelong, 5837 days

Some of the scorelines featured in this clip are horrendous.
When i was growing up it was thier fans that were the best at reminding us about it, it's ironic that they now are what we were then.
Who could forget bomber fans in the 80s and 90s. They weren't obnoxious. But they were entitled. And patronising. I was very envious.
Most symbolic was the year we beat them in round 22 and were *smile*-a-hoop, only to be flogged the week after. Over at quarter time. Was that 2001?
Without question my most despised club. Hate them. They are *smile*. We the Kings. That is a fact.
There's no doubt in my mind that they threw that game.
Have a look at the Round 21, 2001 ladder.
Essendon could not lose top spot, and if they had beaten us, then they'd have been playing Carlton or Hawthorn the next week in the Qualifying Final, both of whom they clearly respected more. More than likely it would have been Carlton and they had lost to them twice during the year.
By losing to us, they guaranteed it would be us again the following week (and they had belted us earlier in the year).
Not that I am opposed to that. If you work your way into such a position of power by winning early, then I see no problem is using it to your advantage.
But they got their comeuppance on Grand Final day.
Essendon's performance today led me to wander over to Bomberblitz.
Interesting feature on that site ... at the head of each thread, it tells you how many posts there are and an estimate of how long it would take to read it all.
Now that would be an interesting algorithm. I wonder if they take into account which club it is.

Just saw who they play in rounds 3-6. Seems a good bet that they'll start the season 0-6. Now thats the time to head to BomberBlitz 
Truck and Carracella have made a couple of poor decisions going to that shithouse of a club.
Now we should focus on getting Merrett out of that club
