Essendon vow enough is enough

[Purple7x08_24]

Here's the best slogan for a team that want's to prove a point:

" "

Show up and prove your point through the outcomes.

**** I hate slogans. they mean shit all.

 

[Shanghaistu]

I wish this club would self-impose a media blackout and just knuckle down and show some real visible and repeatable on-field progress that doesn’t need the slogans and press releases - it’s a big ask, I know

* I hate slogans. they mean s**t all.

The irony is too that if they just shutup and won games, the media hype and adoration would be enormous.

You can kinda get it with 'Northball' as they need puff-piece articles selling the future more than anybody. They're irrelevant, and when they are talked about, it's not for anything good.

Essendon don't have that problem. They'll be talked about win, lose, or draw...but they can dictate how that discussion takes place by just winning games.

I don't even mind the whole 'Essendon edge' thing...but keep it behind closed doors. Every club has their own slogan for their brand of footy, it's just most of them are smart enough to not say it publicly.

If you're talking about it before the results have come though, you're just setting yourself up for criticism.

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the Essendon HEDGE

Brings a tear to my eye.

It’s certainly put the pressure on the players to back it up, hasn’t it? Perhaps that’s the point

 

[Freomaniac]

The edge of insanity..that’s where us Essendon supporters are.

Now it’s that time of year where I start betting on us getting beat and make some extra cash.

We got something in common. I put money on Freo to lose every week too. Dockers win, I lose cash.

Dockers lose I make money LoL

I reckon the players have ditched theedge

Shout out to Harrison Jones. Have seen him do more in five games this year than I have seen him do in his career. Playing lead up forward, staying involved in the play and being more than a couple of a nice marks, four touches, one goal player.

He’s had a couple of big games before but generally agree.

Issue is he’s a bit of a one trick pony if he doesn’t get a clear run at the ball he’s easily nullified at the contest

That’s so negative. Try to focus on the bright side of things.

Still WIP but he's much more involved in the game this year IMO.

 

[Shane Heard]

I mean seriously…is this a happy, United group who love and adore each other who are on a mission to get a flag sometime in the not too distant near future?

I say yes. Yes to good mates and happy days of rainbows and unicorns and nipple touching.

 

[Dave]

Carlton supporters wery wery quiet in here today.

 

[Engimal v3]

North should do this ahead of next week

 

[maskmcgee]

Said last week we were terrible after quarter time and Dons just got over the line. People get so sucked in by a sh*tty win.

They were pretty awful for much of the game against us. Not the least bit surprised Port smashed them. Essendon are going nowhere this year.

Saints going well.

I see this thread is aging incredibly well….

Re thread title. Do they? Do they really?

They made a vow

 

[hawkman]

Clearly not enough

 

[BF Tiger]

I think the journo got it wrong. Essendon actually vowed enough is nuff… or was it nuff is enough. One of the two.

 

[FreoGirl]

I hope they don't have a dramatic improvement this week
