This week ain’t it.
I just did the ladder predictor, starting with us and Gold Coast both losing this week. It won’t let me do more than 100 points for a margin (so Dogs still have a better percentage) but I can get us on the same points as Doggies and Suns after this week. So a couple of 200 points wins for us and 200 points losses for the Dogs and we make it.
If Suns win on Saturday it’s over, but Friday ain’t it.

Post ceremony could be an unofficial toast to the players having a safe and uneventful trip to Ibiza in September.

According to many it needs to happen by about round 5 so we can get a top 3 draft pick locked in.
Actually yeah, is there an end of season trip planning session locked into the schedule?

I’m wondering which game is most in the spirit of St Essington.
Is it when we should be good but play like rubbish, or is it when we should be rubbish and excel at it?
For example,
Loss v Melbourne 2012:
Or loss v Tigers 2025:
it’s not just “should be good but play like rubbish”, it’s when the game is a must-win. the game each year that makes us start thinking that it’s no longer if, but when st essington’s day might fall.
like the richmond game this year ain’t it, as we’d already been spiritually eliminated from the finals

ok, so Rd 2 vs Adelaide.
Essendon is getting efficient at least. No dragging it on until mid-year anymore.
2012 was more Essington that this year. Pretty much full strength vs one of the worst Melbourne sides in memory.

When are this year’s St. Essington Day Messiahs named?
I’ve heard it’s Kevin Sheedy, and James Hird in a wig and tiara. Cannot name my sauce but you can take it to the bank.
you dare to suggest that matt rosa is not the messiah?
