Crappest Moments of our Essington History

Don’t pollute the “greatest moments” thread with memories of all those crappy Essington moments.

There are just so many to remember… here are a few (some nominated from the Greatest Moments thread"). Goodness knows we don’t need to go far back in history for more.

jay neagle playing on vs geelong round 1 2010
kyle langford running past the ball and off the ground for mine
Ty Zantuck’s out on the full set shot.
Any of Joe Daniher’s out on the full set shots
Joe Daniher’s pissweak handball to Green in the goal square instead of taking the set shot
Joe Daniher getting paid for years without playing, then ■■■■■■■ off to QLD

And of course there are plenty of off-field crappy moments:
Peter fkg Jackson’s mismanagement destroying a great team and setting up the next 20+ years of crap
Wasting all those #1 draft picks (eg James Davies, McAlister, Harvey, etc etc etc)
Flash mob
David Evans deciding to help out Vlad and “self report”
Shameful treatment of James Hird
Appointing Worsefold as coach
Renewing Worsefold’s contract
Renewing X’s contract

Plenty more, so over to you guys to add to the list
