    Our day will come
    And we'll have everything.
    We'll share the joy
    Just like '54 again.

    We have integrity. I'm proud of the way our club goes about things. I think we are great bunch of people with very solid values. The way it should be

    Often, when you have the character and integrity to do the right thing, you suffer for it. That's what makes it all the more respectable.

    Agree BAS, it just adds to the value of a flag which wags. There will be no doubt that the win was ours and ours alone.

    Let's not get on too high a horse with regards this issue.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Has thumbing their nose at the AFL actually gotten Essendon anywhere in the last decade?

    Well said NBP

    Very well put NBP. It seems that they took doing "Whatever it takes" a little too literally. Integrity is priceless and with blokes like Peter Gordon and Brendan McCartney leading our Club we are in great hands.

    Re: Essendon dances to its own tune...again.

    I had the very VERY unfortunate displeasure of spending a few microseconds this afternoon with a highly deluded Essendon supporter.
    So, in a nutshell.....

    James Hird never did anything wrong. He's an EXTREMELY intelligent man, everything they took was legal WHEN THEY TOOK IT. But then the rules got changed............
    It's all Demetriou's fault and he'll be gone by the end of the year.

    Just absolute spew up, cult mentality material.

    I was at a child's birthday party, and rather than listen to the drivel, I volunteered to be the guy minding the front gate to make sure the kids didn't run on the road.

    (There were no kids in the front yard at the time)

    And no kids ran on the road. Just an everyday Aussie hero!
