Smythy was busy earning his 175k (plus super) today when a Skunk fan mentioned how good our fans are. Re: sticking fat. Turning up etc.
Concur with his sentiments and those above. Even Smythy is still clinging on. Just. That said, I’ve not been back since the Carlton game this year. Said I would not return. So I haven’t. Man of principles.
Yesterday Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Grundy won that game. Despise the pelican phrases that pundits like David King aka “The Cop” float out but they did win it “at the source.” End of story. Stop the crap about the umpires. Our midfield is still Scania.
I use to wear an Essendon hat,scarf or jacket when i stepped out of the house but not anymore when people ask who i barack for i say the bombers and the first reaction I get is a laugh or how we are no good.
I wear the colours because I support and encourage EFC.
There have been let downs, pride has ebbed and flowed but that’s no cause to put the scarf away.
