It is now 6958 days (as of 23/09/2023) since Essendon last won a final. Even on my saddest days knowing this losing streak will now pass 7000 days will continue to bring me joy. And if it can reach 8000 days under the coaching of Brad Scott that joy will be eternal.
I watched the whole game on TV as an Essendon supporter. Even when we were 30 odd points up, I just had the feeling North were going to come back, I knew we hadn't won the game yet... When the final siren went, I was close to tears, and now Essendon are an absolute basket case this year :/
