NON-MFC: Round 23

[Antioch 232]

It’s SOOO GOOD to see the Bombers (and umpires) lose so badly.

Game over Essendon have done it again, first half season specialists. Almost fell sorry for their supporters , almost 

Have they actually beaten any team that was in the top 8 any time this season???

[Macca 16,958]

How many days since they won a final?

Have the peptides cracked 7000 days yet?  

*Target 20,000*

I'll enjoy these last 2 minutes.

Even Peter Costello has had enough & walked out.

Why do people who choose to sit in the front row get annoyed at players who topple over the fence and knock their drink out of their hand? It's one of the more stupid reactions by the human race you're likely to see.

They beat Fremantle two weeks ago.

They also have wins over Hawthorn (Round 1), the Dogs and GWS.

But they've also had one of the biggest fixture leg ups we've ever seen, and botched it - they have not left Melbourne since 2 June, which was Round 12. It's now 16 August, and Round 23. They go to Brisbane next week, which means they didn't leave Melbourne for 12 weeks.

12 weeks. No travel.

And they're still going to miss the finals.

(the other fixture leg up goes to St Kilda, who finish this season with their last 6 straight games, and 8 of their last 9 games post-bye, at Marvel Stadium, and are also not going to make finals).

In fairness the odds of it happening are pretty low and as it was the very end of the game the bar would have been shut. I can feel his pain.

So they get in McKay & Goldstein & still miss finals.

Wonder if Goldstein will retire now.

Anyway essendon fans are going nuts on social media

Like every other football forum, but I do get a laugh out of the bombers and blues losses.

[Heart Beats True 1,224]

That would make it 7286 days for the Bombers which equates to 20 years since they won a final. The iPhone had just been released 😆

Let’s hope for another 20 years.

[dees189227 12,386]

I've stopped watching the footy shows just because it's doom & gloom but I do watch footy classified on Mondays just to hear lloydo moan about the dons failing again

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

I hope they get mauled by the media this week. Them and Sammy McClures 2024 premiers

Smash the pathetic hacks, shatter their finals hope.

I’ve seen three people in the crowd who I don’t know personally but I see them around where I live. Rough AF. They’re just as scary on TV as in real life. I once saw one of them riding a push bike hands-free with a slab under one arm and fish n chips under the other and a cigarette hanging outta her mouth. She must’ve lost her driver’s licence coz in my suburb that’s the only reason anyone over 18 rides a pushy. True story 

I bet she wasn't wearing a helmet either and riding on a footpath. Typical your suburb Essendon supporter - what a disgrace 🙃

Not sure on the MCG though.
