Id say we softened collingwood up, by gee they had to dig deep to win 1/4 of a game and get the points...they were ripe this week 
According to some we were soft for 120 minutes last week BJ.
We were weak as pee apparently.
It was Collingwood's rigorous training regime that backfired today and Essendon's winning culture.
Funny they took down their 2013 slogan from Wanky Hill when the scandal broke "whatever it takes" yet after their
so far this season those flags and slogans are starting to reappear.
I guess when you have a winning culture that is how you win "whatever it takes"
Collingwood were ripe for the taking as the bummers showed today and the Dawks showed two weeks ago.
Problem is we tend to poo ourselves in big games playing soft unaccountable footy and wobbling about with huge heads after beating a bottom four team isn't the way we should've gone about it.
The whole team including the coach got a lesson against the pies, lets just hope we have learnt something because it won't be any easier in Perth.
If we go there trying to play that softie, limp wristed footy we will have our pants pulled down again.
Essenbum is a middle team like us, if they can win there them so can we. And everyone at the club should beleive it and want it.
Our jumper: Discipline, Awareness, Belief, Desperate.
You didn't think our footy was softie and limp wristed after round 1, in fact you were still celebrating the week we played the Dogs over our win over the Blues.
These are the sort of games we have failed in aren't they? We won in a big game in round 1 in a high pressure situation didn't we? By my recall also we were locked and loaded in 2009 and failed and never been near it since then in round 1 until this year but memories are hazy on some people except of course when they feel the need to justify their age how long they have supported the tigers and how many tins they rattled during save our skins to justify their responses. But I digress.
Furthermore you state that we were weak as pee for 120 minutes hence the result on Saurday yet today Collingwood were ripe to be taken down. Ahahahahahaha that is laughable given both teams had a 5 day break. Given Essendon play in these games every year and bar a few year under Knights in 2008 and 10 were extremely competitive in them
knowing were they were they have been preparing for these games for a long time. Other than Carlton when have we been in a big game even in the last two years when we look at the fixture and say hey we are on the big stage. Dreamtime in 2011 we played in front of 83K and won that night with Essendon having a 5-3 record at the time to our 3-4-1 record. Short memories but again I digress.
To celebrate a win against a hated foe in Carlton so openly in a big game on a big stage regardless of where they sit on the ladder is great but don't go and tell me we were gutless and that we were weak as pee for an entire game because we lost to a better side on the day in a game we were nowhere for 25 of the 120 minutes merely because you think a few words in your dogma "Discipline, Awareness, Belief, Desperate" didn't work out entirely last week.
If the fortunes of a side are going to hinge on 120 minutes in Round 4 against a side that universally even with a few out was more superior than ours given the number of premiership players in it given where we have started from, planned, come from and where we are and you can call us gutless and weak as pee over 120 minutes in your opinion given the amount of footy played and the effort shown and improvement shown then you pal are so hard to please and instead of justifying answers with a few cheap gimmicky words and individual characteristics then pal its not a question of being hard to please its a question of are you ever happy?
Essendon winning culture "whatever it takes" bottle, syringe, guinea pigs, lies, aloofness.
Whether they are mid road side or not is not the issue here but if some want to point that out that's fine.
I'd rather worry about what we are doing and where we are going but hey whatever makes us tick.
