Apart from the flat-earthers who didn't know the new century and millennium began on 1st Jan,2001. Essendon supporters mostly.

His last-minute goal in the corresponding game last season got us Reid, so yeah, good player..

It's a mark of how generous Essendon are that they let them get that close to try and give them a bit of encouragement

No, you are!

A win against last year's wooden spooners by a goal... a little thing

We got smashed in stoppages early but adjusted later. Yeo might miss a few weeks sadly - the one player we can't live without. I was at the ground but without commentary I didn't see him much in the last quarter. Eagles did well to narrow the margin without him.

Hubble is like Apple TV or chrome cast. Foxtel have realised finally that streaming is the way of the future and cable is a dated business model

The jealousy is palpable. Life’s about celebrating the little things

Yeah there’s finally a bit to get excited about at the Eagles which is good to see, and there was a norf player who chundered in his match

In time after a few more preseasons, Scott will be able to fatten him up.
Chris Lewis

I think we lack a bit in ruck, but maybe i am harsh. Last night, look at Wright in ruck; much more effective with his taps and direction. But we also need him as a key forward. Jones is the one, but he still lacks strength.
Chanon
Roar Rookie
Think your capable plus they are in a bit of a trough at the moment.
Cinderella's Big Score
Roar Rookie
It's subtle. Put yourself in their shoes. There is this perpetual shame over Hird. They need to mask it with denial, with bluster, with absurdity, with braggadocio. They know it won't be taken seriously, it's just a way of making it through the night.
Chris Lewis
Roar Guru
Yes, big matches, hopefully we can match GWS.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Not much "self-deprecation".
Chanon
Roar Rookie
Great effort by Scott to get this team playing good footy & at 5/1/2 a great platform. Next 2 matches super important for your club. All the best :thumbup:

On another note - 51k in the stadium for a team coming off a wooden spoon - excellent crowd. Good turnup by Bombers fans too.

I beg to differ. My 7yo makes more sense and is less bratty :stoked:

Great we got another win. Langford is a gun up forward these days. Probably our most reliable forward.
