Half of the mistakes on here are not even mistakes… They’re attitudes.

Mistake: an act or judgement that is misguided or wrong.

Drafting too many inner city private school boys

Geez how the hell could anybody not have the coaching/management and drugs scandal at number 1 is beyond me. Pretty much the biggest blunder/■■■■ up in Australian sports history.

it says no saga in the heading.

ahh ok thanks didn;t see that. It has to be the coaching appointments then. A good coach can turn the whole club around, look at clarko at the hawks they were a rabble before he came along.

Appointing Evans as president followed by Robson as the CEO are the biggest fk ups in Essendons history without a shadow of doubt.

What they presided over between 2010 - 2013 is the biggest disgrace in our history.

Absolute fkn scum the way they mismanaged every aspect of our club.

David Evans was still well regarded enough to have a room at The Hangar named after him :joy:

  1. Assuming after being so dominant in 2000 that we had the next 5 premierships sewn up.

  2. Not sacking Sheedy in 2004 when he was still trying to re-create the 2000 team.

  3. Deciding early in 2007 to sack Sheedy even though he had got his own head back together and the team was actually playing good football.

  4. Appointing Knights, despite his appalling record.

  5. Appointing Hird because he had magic powers.

For all that this club has got wrong over the years, “Whatever it Tacos” was so so right.

Failing to tell the guy at the members forum who asked if they’d have a members forum that he was already at a members forum.
