Where's the team and game day - preseason 2024 v aints?

It’s getting harder and harder to be a bomber supporter but a bomber supporter I was born, I is and always will be.

The last 23 years have been difficult but half of that time was ambushed by a group of unaccountable chemists that did us a lot of damage.

The great Sheedy once said it’s hard following sports teams because there is only a handful of joyous top of the mountain days, at best.

I’ve decided to enjoy as many individual games as possible throughout the season and focus on the ultimate prize only if and when is appears remotely possible.

I know Scott, the club, the players don’t want to fail. They’re doing their best. All I can do is buy a membership, turn up often, celebrate when they’re good and let them know when they don’t have a go.

Microwaving memberships, walking away from AFL and following baseball and hurling abuse is not an option.

And it’s only February

We are a team of misfits with no clear strength. We win games because individuals have good games, but we rarely look good as a team.

It was evident that we have no aerial presence.

It also appears that McGrath ran a dump kick seminar that our entire team attended over the summer.

Says it all.
Not sure he is best 22 but we need him anyway. :woman_facepalming:t3:
He shouldn’t have even played the last year, along with a few others. We should’ve recruited.

They should be now known as Essendon Swifties

Hayes/Bryan/Alwyn and Hind are done for the day. All going the same as the senior side did and running laps

I think we are trying to replicate our start to last year.

My eldest kid keeps asking me why I follow Essendon. He keeps joking about changing teams, but now I’m not sure he’s joking!

Mate that’s too nice. Most of them drag out Milli Vanilli , bros and New kids on the block. Dennis Walter may get a run too

Sometimes I think our players are just plain and simply dyslexic and can’t learn the learnings , absolute horse crap

Ill admit I was worried when everyone was talking about “Rath” helping players with their kicking technique/etc…
Guess we had the wrong Rath.

Why would you think we would see something better? Serious question.

I think this feeling I’m reading about is similar to 12 months ago.

Same team. Same venue. Same issues.

Was a very distant memory after the first month of footy. Hoping for a repeat.
