St Essington's Day - 25 August 2023

I moved to Melbourne in April 2005. Pure coincidence that my residency coincides with such a ■■■■■■ period.
Yeah, I moved over in December 2004.

Oh Geez? You don’t think it’s all our fault do you bugman?

Fark! I feel guilty now.

Sorry guys.

And yet he continues to post in here. Does he realise you have to actually click on the thread to come into it? It takes less effort to not come into this thread.

im going to challenge 2012.

The day after Casboult sunk one from 60m on the boundary to put them 90 points up was Essington day.

That was probably the beginning of the end.

The St kilda loss was the beginning of the end in 2012.

That loss made completely no sense at all, it came out of Fkn no where how badly we lost by.

St Kilda were sh-t and we had just come off belting an equally sh-t team in the dogs the week before by atleast 12 goals and we come out and lose by 12 goals!

You can blame me for that. Mrs Azza took me down to see the game for my birthday, and I jinxed us.

My record watching the Bombers in person is not good…

That match happened while I was on a flight from LA back home. Beforehand I was doing the calculations of how high we could climb the ladder with a big win. When I landed in Sydney and checked my phone I did the biggest double take of all time.

Now of course it all makes sense. Weapon had completely ruined the players by that stage.

As opposed to the lot that expect a flag every year?

my biggest regret was making the lid off thread this year.

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, Essington. BSD only at stage two.

Not really, this is one of the more light hearted glooms, just keeping up my end.

Fairly confident the frowners will take that post in the vein intended.

Sounds like someone needs a bump

Don’t stop there. We’ve reached supreme status.
Didn't Laverde miss from the goal square last year?

If he did, it’s the only goal he’s missed in his whole AFL career. Kids kicked 8 goals 1 behind.

Great record. Maybe it was someone else. I remember someone running into an open goal, on a 30 deg angle, and missing from a few feet.

Langford?

Maybe? I remember thinking it was uncharacteristic. Like Stokes’ miss early this season against GC.

I’m pretty sure it was Langford. Merrett also did it last year as I recall. I think in one of the games Hird was really under the pump later on in the season.

WTF was he thinking ???

Have we ever had a bigger flog play for the club ever?

Justin Murphy vs Zantuck in a flog off.

although he was a rotten bloke at least Justin was serviceable as a player. i read somewhere that hes so dumb that he got a job at a pub and was having trouble stacking the fridges with beer.
