Please baby Allah, let us beat these upstart wankers. For the love of all that is wholesome and righteous. Please.

It is probably just me… but I’m just struggling to have any energy for this club at the moment. Big Friday night match against FC… 150th celebration and I just feel meh.

I know the familar feeling on gameday when you start to convince yourself there is a path to victory if things go right… but even that I am finding hard. We are just a bog awful team and I really do find us boring to watch. As in we just play a very bland, boring brand of football and there is absolutely no x factor about what we do. I don’t expect to see a chase down tackle… a high flying mark… a freakish goal from the boundary… there is just so little to get excited about.

So… yeah…

Yep.

They had that bloke in the long sleeves that played about 400 games, ran into a team mate, got dispossessed. Zaka swooped.

There’s another one too I think the kickin went straight to Scott Lucas who kicked it goalpost height about 70m, even though he could’ve just dribbled it through.

150th Year game against the old enemy. If there is one thing Essendon does better than any other team, it’s making a mockery of any type of milestone game. Blues by 78pts.

The result of Essendon Carlton games often goa against the grain. Particularly those that are high profile games.

Bombers by under a goal

we don’t have many specialist small forwards in the named side.

that’s a long time to be running

Bastards better not have worn down the ground. Need it in tip-top condition for the next 8 days.
