Re: Bankers And Anchors - Round 22 2016 vs Essendon

Totally agree with the above. I read back of banner (side facing dogs cheer squad) noting not so golden boy's football academy and was dumbfounded then had a chuckle. If I was a paid up Essendon member I'd be rather peeved at that. As an opposition supporter I thought, yep, that's what (fallen) idol worship looks like.

Yep, I read that and turned to my mate and said "Are you *!*!*!*!ing kidding me?!"

Absolutely incredulous!

Another thing I don't get about Essendon fans is that they rarely seem to talk about Simon Madden. To me, Madden is by far the best Essendon player I've seen. If I could have an 18yo S Madden or an 18yo J Hird, there's no question which one I'd go for. Absolutely no question.

Yet at Essendon in the mid '80's, it was all "Timmy, Timmy, Timmy." Since then, the Messiah has been "Hirdy, Hirdy, Hirdy!"
For me, if an all time VFL/AFL best 22 was picked, I couldn't find a spot on the bench for Hird, but S Madden would be starting as my 2nd ruck next to Farmer.

Essendon just have a glory boy complex. I couldn't believe my eyes in Sunday..

Bankers:-

Picken - Always reliable
Bont - ditto
Daniel - I'd now be surprised if he didn't win the rising star award

Anchors:-

What was up with the seating? I get you could pay and upgrade to a reserve seat, but there was about 200 people on the level 3 wings, the Bulldogs supporters on level 3 behind the goals added up to about more Essendon faithful than filled the rest of the stadium! Even the ground staff said it was one of the dumbest things they'd seen!

Our second quarter.
