I feel like there's a fair bit of stuff that's happened since we last won a final...and we have Bont.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Well, back then ScoMo was still in charge. So was Boris Johnson. The grand final was played in Perth due to some kind of pandemic restrictions - apparently something called COVID which no longer exists but had shut down the free world last time we won a final.
I could go on. Lot's has happened and changed...and it's gonna be another 12-months before we get a chance to win another won.

Re: Essendon
Essendon having failed to win a final since 2004, but a few have found the answer.
Pretty simple if you want to win a final just leave Essendon
Exhibit 2023
Connor McKenna plus Joe Daniher
There will be a few others around as well.

You can add Bachar Houli, Ryder, Melksham,
They have hqd TEN senior coach changes. Scott maybe more permanent.

Ben Mackay is 8 wins, 1 draw, 62 losses in his career with no finals.
Makes perfect sense to go to Essendon. He doesn’t know what he’s not getting there either!

Re: Essendon
The salesman at Essendon must be awesome. He has sold the club to look like Bitcoin 4 years ago. Thing is they will end up like Bitcoin today .

BT your stats ability is amazing .
Ben must be sold on winning more than 8 games a season ...statistically, it must be a shoe in with 11 wins this year!
Dodo: How many games have you won in your career ?
Ben: pause .... count on 2 hands .....1..2...3.. ... 8 , thats it 8! I had to double count the 3 we won this year.
Dodo: mate... I got a deal for you. . 750K for 5 years , never a chance you play VFL again, we have no depth, and we won 11 games this year ( we did beat you guys twice and WC twice)
Ben: Sold... where do I sign up ?
Dodo: we are on the up mate. You won't be joining a continually shit team. Not a word not a leak to anyone. I need to win trade week.

Re: Essendon
We are going to sorely miss the Dodo when he's gone...
?OF ALL THE DUMB THINGS I?VE HEARD?: DODORO'S REPORTED FIRST-ROUND PICK PUSH CANNED
Kane Cornes is struggling to believe reports out of Essendon that they want a first-round pick for key defender Brandon Zerk-Thatcher.
The young key defender was serviceable for the Bombers in 2023 and has requested a move to Port Adelaide in this year?s trade period.
The Herald Sun is reporting that Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro has asked the Power for a first-round pick for Zerk-Thatcher, something that has baffled Cornes.
?Of all the dumb things I?ve heard in the last couple of days ? Essendon wanting a first-round pick for Zerk-Thatcher,? Cornes told AFL Trade Radio.
??Adrian Dodoro is going to make a splash in his last trade period and wants a first-round pick for Zerk-Thatcher? ? he?s not worth a fifth-round pick!?
Bulldogs great Brad Johnson agrees, rating Zerk-Thatcher as worth a pick in the 40s.
?If he wants that, that?s great, but he?s not going to get that in reality,? Johnson added.
?In all seriousness, I think it?s an end of second, early third round pick.?
Port Adelaide will attempt to land Zerk-Thatcher, Esava Ratugolea and Jordon Sweet in this year?s trade period.

Re: Essendon
Of course he's going to ask for it but if it's anything more than a 3rd rounder Port are being ripped off. Geelong will want as 1st rounder for Ratagoleau

Re: Essendon
General consensus is we will get little for Sweet. We should ask for a first rounder too then

Who would be more important for Port.
I venture that Sweet is more what they need over Zerk-Thatcher.
