LID OFF 2017 - Went all in, on a bluff, and had it called! The flop gives us a chance, on the turn it's 50/50, we're home on the river. Now to make a big run at the final table!

It will arrive around 5:30 this afternoon…

l think Richo and Cotchin have got it all wrong about Vickery. Hw is the cause of all many of the woes that beset the Dawks right now, and more power to him for bringing them down to his level.
As proof l offer these facts.
1.The Dawks have dropped him for their game against against Wet Toast.
2. The Tigers are now playing so much better without him.

As recognition for his efforts l feel we are obliged to honour Ty with a new class of player. The only question is which option to choose?
A. Super duper spud.
B. Spud truck.

Should this be a poll? l am leaning towards spud truck, a Scania that carries all the other spuds.

This forum needs a bit of Lid-Offness. Beat Freo this week, Go 4-3 while still integrating the returning players, and getting everyone onto the same page regarding the gameplan. Hang around at approx 0.5 until the bye, and then explode winning the last 10 to finish 16-6 and have a real shot at it.

(Bulldogs and Crows, both at Etihad, the only real challenges for Essendon in the last 10. Of course all 10 are challenges for Essington, but Essington will have been banished by Mendozaa and Rosso becoming lid-offers)

In Rd 7 and Rd 8 1999 we coughed up 134 points to Melbourne, and followed it up with a 94-51 point loss to StKilda. If you were there you’ll remember that we were thoroughly outplayed, and it felt like we were sh*t. We’d been embarrassed by North in the finals in 98 (marshmallows and all) after finishing 14th in 97.

It really felt we were miles off it.

We won 35 of our next 38 games.

It can turn quickly.

Barry Hall a lazy 5.4 from CHF.

Almost 18 years ago. Really clutching with this one.

Could have been worse, I’m waiting for the 1992 hawthorn game to get a run. That one usually gets trotted out, to justify why a loss means we will win the flag next year.

This is lid off. Clutching at straws is what we do.

I mean come on, is there any other way this place can do lid off?

In 1993 - Essendon Premiership

Last week - the Saints beat the Hawks 130 to 55.
Next year - Pretty obviously, Essendon Premiership.

Essendon hold the record for the swiftest rise from wooden spoon to premiership, two seasons: they finished last in 1921 and won back-to-back premierships in 1923-24.

Not really. Frankly how we refer to some other clubs at Blitz is pretty disgusting.
