Revisiting the Brisbane Lions' improbable 2001 premiership ahead of another Dons showdown

“If it bleeds, we can kill it.” Brisbane Lions coach Leigh Matthews famously used this quote from the film Predator to inspire his side ahead of a 2001 mid-season clash against reigning premiers Essendon.

Essendon's round 4 review

Short answer, how good is footy? The last four matches between the Swans and Bombers have been decided by ten points or less and this win for the Swans brings the aggregate wins for each side since the Swans moved north to 30-30 with one draw.

Essendon's Round 3 review

So I have noticed a trend of late on The Roar, that is people writing reviews or re-caps or their favourite team’s performance, such as the fine work by the Sports Bloke regarding Collingwood Magpies, or Jacob Walton’s work with the suddenly resurgent Adelaide Crows.

The five clubs that should chase Zach Merrett

With the announcement Bombers star Zach Merrett will “wait” to decide on his future at the Hangar, he’s now become a hot topic for free agency rumours and put Essendon’s season under the spotlight with perhaps a higher intensity than previously.

Trade and draft review: Bombers succession planning

The Essendon Bombers spent the entire trade period in 2019 flying evasive manoeuvres trying to keep hold of Joe Daniher, only to drop him cold and take the early compensation pick in 2020 free agency, ironically at the same value of Carlton’s pick from 2019 that caused such dramas for Sydney and the Gold Coast.

Essendon's class of 2000 are the best AFL team of the modern era

While comparing teams from one year to another is difficult and subjective, as are any debates seeking to decide the greats of each sport, they are indeed interesting subjects for sports fans whether it be boxing, running, horse racing, football or any other sport.
