AAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were 48 points up!!!!!

:angry:

In 2006 Essendon lost 9 games by 3 goals or less!!!!!

2007 was supposed to be different !!!!! Doesn't look like it.

Anyway Mrs Duckman says I'm not to swear in front of the ducklings so I've created this %^&* thread to let off some %^&*$#@ steam after each stinkin match. Here's hoping I don't have to %&*@ use it very often this %^&*season.

God if you're watching (I personally think he logs in as Tech) any other &*$% club but please, please, please not $%^& Carlton (and Collingwood is no better by the way!!!!)

A really,really,really ruffled

I was watching the game today Duck, and thought that it wouldn't be a good afternoon for any little Essendon Fans vocabulary! Infact I thought it would be a better idea for the Don's fan to watch it alone this week!
Good on Mrs Duckman for her stance by the way.
In all seriousness though I do feel for you...albeit an exciting ending, it wasn't the way I would have liked it to finish either! (nor my little bomber fan!)
ps. Roll on ANZAC day....
 
Spare a thought for us long standing Freo members! Lol!

At least Essendon supporters know what success is like.

Anyway, I thought I'd bring out this thing I did a few years back. The slogan for their 10th year was "Ten Years of Passion". Their membership campaign had the slogan, "Do You Have The Passion?" And during the standard piss weak season, I tinkered with it. I think it is fitting to display it once again:



I tell you what. I think Freo is the cause of most mental illnesses in WA. If you are in WA, don't barrack for Freo, and have a mental illness. There IS something very wrong with you. Lol!

Enough said

Seriously though, tipping is a nightmare this year. I'd have been better of tipping who I thought was going to lose so far.
 

Why can't Essendon and Sheedy learn from their mistakes, as this has happened before with the Blues. What agony for a Bomber supporter.

Those who don't learn from their mistakes are bound to repeat them!

I know, I know......Kevin ....I love him and hate him.

You just have to hope that he knows what he is doing. We came back stronger in 2000 after losing the "unloseable" final in 1999.

A fair portion of the team is still young and developing. The pleasing thing for me was the pain and hurt the players were in after the game. Last year losing became normal. THe young players need to suffer before they will become great players.

But that doesn't stop supporters from thinking we could be waking up this morning 3-0.

As for whether Sheeds could have stopped the loss - yes he could have by blocking the Carlton forward line but that's not his style. His argument is why should I defend. Keep attacking and get the temp back on Essendons terms. Unfortunately it didn't work yesterday. Essendon didn't get back on top.

Chops a Must - I can't know what it is like to be a Docker fan!!!!
 
Great for the Blues fans yesterday though, what a comeback from more than 50 pts down. Once again Essendon snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
 
hey duck, hope your mrs duckman is going well? mrs constable is doing well now (going to be a mr constable!) and due the 18/8.

The Blues have a penchant for great comebacks, who can forget the 1970 grand final against Collingwood, 43 points down at half time and then won the game (I was there!)

Who can remember? (dont forget to top up you super yelnats ) this was b4 i was born and my hatred of carlton was passed thru the womb!!!!!!!!
 
I was at the game yesterday and it's been a long time since I walked away from the G absolutley gutted. Perhaps it was because of the expectation built up over the first two rounds. Perhaps it's because Friviola is just so.....um.....annoying!!! That bullsh!t, extravegant, over the top, salute to himself after he kicks a goal is just so, un Australian it hurts!! He should be playing soccer IMO. aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!

 

Yes thanks Constable - Mrs Duckman is going great. Starting to get some back pain now - but plenty of kicks. It was pretty active during Grey's Anatomy tonight. Might be a girl!!

As for Anzac Day - bring it on. Carlton might be a bogey side for us but we'll have your guys covered!!!

How about a carton of James Squire?

As for you Kennas - what a game to be at!! I was gutted and I was sitting 2200km away!!! You're right - the expectation from the first two games went to the head - and possibly to those of the players!!! Started believing Hirdy's top 4 spin

lol, I know 2 fairly young (about 18yo) Bombers supporters from athletics and they were bragging about how well they were going this year after the first 2 games and were talking about finals. I told them not to get carried away after only 2 games, looking forward to seeing them on Mon.
I know what it's like to let expectations run wild as I'm a hawks supporter, lol

Me too! We had a good win today though, although it was only the Roos... and we're currently sitting in eighth. Should we be getting excited yet??

Anyone else here got a 'Dream Team'? This is my fourth year doing that. Next year we should start an ASF league. : I think it has a lot of similarities to share trading.
 

lol, give it a few more years I think, got some good young players.

I've got a Dream Team as well, struggling a bit this year, didn't devote much time to it, too busy with my shares.
 
with that last poor poor inexcusable loss to carlton on sat I dont blame the fans leaving!:

also that blew my 8/8 in the footy tips!

Go the Saints!
 

Sounds lovely, would that be the pale ale, pilsener or hop theif? (i just rang dan murphys too see what i was getting into )
I think i've had this once or twice when ive been at the oldman's , not a bad brew from memory.
Anyrate you and your bombers are on!
 

ouch ! is the bet still on if the magpies can only field half a side?
no we'll be right , if the pies get up you guys will have nowhere to hide!

I think we've got more out that you Constable! Just like Collingwood, comming out with excuses before the game's even run.

GO BOMBERS!!!!

Gday Constable!!! Looking forward to it.

These ANZAC clashes are so different to the other home and away rounds. Form and position on the table goes out the window.

Having said that...........Bombers by 6 goals!!!

Carn the Dons!!!!!!!!!

Duckman

Can anyone fill me in on Jetta's injury?
