Crappest Moments of our Essington History

I remember it like it was yesterday.

I had only been seeing my missus for a month and a bit at that point and she was really keen to catch up on the day of the final. I didn’t want to tell her that I didn’t want to see her due to a game of footy, so I told her I was spending some time with a sick relative.

I’m a terrible person and I always tell myself us losing was probably some form of punishment, that I deserve.

Does she now know the truth?

The truth, she can’t handle the truth!

We haven’t even mentioned the 21 goals in a row from the Bulldogs.

Of course not. All lasting relationships are built off lies and deception

Tony Lockett’s after the siren point in the 96 prelim. Still not as bad as 99 prelim though.

How the 1990 Grand Final hasn’t been mentioned yet, I have no idea.

Edit: one mention!

Im to young to remember it live.

I actually sat and watched it not long ago. Was absolutely horrific.

Remember 01 vividly, we ■■■■■■ away a threepeat 99-01.

Blame it on Sumich for that drawn final, Essendon underdone in matches.
I’m even on going to winning and losing GFs.

Not number 1 worst, but who remembers Mark LaCras kicking a lazy 12?

realising a few weeks back that 7.75% of franklin’s career total goals were kicked against one team

Attending the 2011, 2014 & 2017 elimination finals in person. Attending Round 1 2015 vs Sydney in the pouring rain. The Saga for derailing this club for years. Flash mob at Fed Square.
