I fear for @redbull 's sanity when the inevitable happens and rock tomcliff rips us a new one for fcfc next year.
I think we need some succession planning in place for the nobby

Perhaps is saying we’re not interested in Rockliff publicly was our of sending a message to lessen his contractual demands if he wants to come to Essendon.

Lol nice.
Spoken like a true baby boomer! Screaming for your own instant gratification… totally oblivious to the irony.

Both debuted craploads more players than us this year, and played multiple first and second year players every week of the year, after dropping/shifting out ■■■■■■■ up old blokes who weren’t up to all the running any more.
We played the ■■■■■■■ up old blokes all year and surprisingly they didn’t get much better throughout the year.

I thought those opposed to rocky were boomers.
Baby boomers seem to be the most impatient ones. They want 2000 to happen every year without going through the 1995-98 blooding periods that got us there. The golden generation of Australian entitlement.
Boomers vs Gloomers
FIGHT

Nah mate no boomer here, just some poor bloke born in the mid 70’s who needs to manage them…
Christensen been injured, Beams has been at the tattoo parlour, Mathiesons loves ducks, Rockys lost interest and Zorkos the only 1 playing week in week out they have no strong forward…so therefore they loose games…and once on a while they have Scache, the Eel and Jensen put it all together for a Special Essington Day Gala.
Ummm most of the premiership team came from the vfl 1999 side. That is where they got blooded from. We didn’t play much of Cransberg, Laycock and Lalich because they were carp compared to both Johnsons, Mcveigh, Rioli, Ramaunaskus, Henneman, Heffernan, Caracella and Solomon.
Pity about Robran and McAllister thought they were good players just wasn’t there time.
When they debut we don’t mail them loke other team mail our young blokes. Swans and Hawks make them wear skid marked jox and spray fart spray on their young blokes before they take the field, so other teams stay away from them.
Our blokes take the field like were going on a ■■■■■■■ glee parade, dolled up to the ■■■■ with jelly’s and smellies, hence we get tackled the ■■■■ out of.
AFL games in 99:
Caracella 24
Heffernan 22
Solomon 19
Rioli 17
Mark Johnson 15
AFL games in 2000:
McVeigh 1
Rioli 5
Henneman 8
So… no?
Essendon’s team from the 1999 Reserves Grand Final: Aaron Henneman, Daniel McAlister, Adam Ramanauskas, Mark McVeigh, Jason Johnson, Judd Lalich, Ben Doolan, Jordan Doering, Simon Eastaugh (capt), Ilija Grgic, Sean Denham, Matthew Banks, Chris Ladhams, Danny Jacobs, Ben Haynes, Stephen Milne, Shane Sheppard, Ben Collins, Andrew Dimattina.
Like I said they came from the 1999 vfl team. Just a good team of players that knew each other well.
Need more if that…amazed at the moment how Carlton with all their xgws players can’t get it together. Maybe they’ll shitem selves [like Betts] again when Gibbs goes to Crows wins a brownlow and a premiership next season.
Wtf are you talking about? Only 2 of those guys played in the 2000 premiership

So who the ■■■■ won us the games that got us there to the premiership?
Or do you just support the ones who win on the day?
Henry’s angry pill wrote that it was during the flooding of players from 1995-1998 that got us to the premiership in 2000.

The great flooding of the players from 1995-98 was indeed a dark period for the club
