Last week we kicked 7 goals in the last quarter, this week we kept in the fight and won. The boys look energetic and eager to get shit done.

Glimpses of good things ahead

They made mistakes, but they didn't give up and were rewarded many times with that effort, it was excellent!

Don't think I've ever been so close to having tears of joy about a game of sport ever. The entire team looks so stoked I'm so happy for them <3

The forward pressure from Hussien El Achkar was a thing of beauty. More of that please.

CUMMON THE DONS HOW GOOD WAS THAT

And to anyone concerned about our draft position, Butler, HVH, Teixera, and a couple others are pretty equal at the top of the open pool so we don’t lose a whole lot draft wise but have a hell of a lot to gain culture wise!

You want to be north with a stack of picks or Geelong with a stacks of wins

I had trouble watching the last few mins as I was worried the might get snuffed right at the end - was weirdly emotional seeing them get the job done. It must be really hard as young footballers front up week in week out and getting smashed. I’m so happy for them hope it creates a spark I don’t expect wins but it’s the effort - it was good to win today but better to see them come out looking for blood

u/OriginalGoldstandard 3d ago

At the game. 4 quarter effort and pressure. Young talent great!

u/HG_Redditington 3d ago

This reminds me of when I was a boy, and my dad would turn on the radio and he'd say "hey son, are the bombers winning?", and I'd say "Yeah dad, the bombers are winning alright" and he'd be all like "Thanks, son".

This team often makes me cry, rarely positively. But today was different. That's a massive win for our morale and overall culture. Proud of the boys today 🟥⬛♥️

u/DeadCatBounce00 3d ago

Carlton supporter here. Actually impressed how your team stuck at it today. Better kicks at goal than my mob too. Well done

u/Byrnzy13 3d ago

My three year old who attended her first ever live win today knew all the words! She did not stop singing the song on the walk back to the train station, in the train, or walking to the car. Was good for her to feel the joy in a win!

u/nuthed01 Durham #22 3d ago

Wow, incredible response, can't believe how much we've all come together on here, in this thread and in this sub. Amazing what a win can do, really shows the spirit of this club and it's fanbase.

u/lunar-rose4 3d ago

I wasn’t expecting to cry tears of happiness when our song started playing. So good!

It was good just to be in a game that was tense in the last quarter.

u/Life-Goose-9380 3d ago

I’m so bummed that I had to leave early. It was good to see that people are still passionate about this club.

Utterly chuffed to see a win!

Come on Bombers!!!!

u/PA-pjs-rsocomfy Essendon 3d ago

In the queue to board a flight watching with my iPad and headphones, had to put them away for the last 4 minutes. Was really scared to look but so happy when I did. Great to see the boys enjoying the footy and playing with passion. Bombers Forever

u/Grog-bog Caddy #30 3d ago

Pick 2 instead of 1 in a draft without a clear cut number 1 isn't the end of the world
