should essendon change their name?

in light of current world events, should essendon still call themselves "the bombers"? I think the club should be more sensitive about this and change their name. how about the essendon crapheads? it's practical and will please the majority of footy fans.

As much as I hate Essenscum I cannot support a name change. Imagine this;

A small seaside town is attacked by millions of Magpies causing many, many deaths and leaving ASIO perplexed as to why there was no warning.

Would we change our name? No way!

P.S. They used commercial aircraft not military "bombers"

Don't ask yourself what the club needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what Collingwood needs right now is people who have come alive.

junkboy75, thankyou for bringing up such an informative and relevant topic for discussion. It does seem to be time for Essendon to change their name. Their own supporters seem to refer to them as Essaden anyway. Wayne Jackson also has the same beautiful way of saying it (anyone catch the Brownlow count?).

Actually to tell you the truth I'm just speaking shit, I only really wanted to test my picture to the left out. Go Pies.

Arsendon ... as in Arsenal.

They could even be called the "Gunners", just like Arsenal ... because they think they're gunna win the 2001 premiership.

yes, and it would explain why they need to whistle on the toilet, so they know which end to wipe.

They could name them after their supporters, and call them the "shit for brains"'ers.
