Re: Fixture 2023
Happiness = the gap between your expectations and your reality
Imagine going back in time. Let's pick 2002. The Bombers only know Premierships, domination, probably the biggest and most successful AFL club in the land. They would often say they were the Man U of the AFL. What would they believe would be the the chances of not winning a single final in a 20 year stretch. It would be unfathomable. Beyond any reasonable comprehension.
That is why they are so feral and mean spirited. Their football unhappiness is about as low as you can go. Possibly challenged by the Blues.
p.s. final wins from 2005 = Bombers 0, Bulldogs 11 (In this stretch their highest position on the ladder is 7th after H&A)
p.s.s final wins 1983 -2002 = Bombers 21, Bulldogs 4 (In this stretch they finished top of the ladder six times)
p.s.s.s that is the definition of football depression, chocolate to boiled lollies

Re: Fixture 2023
People complaining we only got to play WCE once. While Essendon got two.
Seems pretty good that only happened to us once this year.
