Occasionally football teams have those days where nothing goes right. Where they just don’t give a yelp and are seemingly helpless to turn things around. There was a prime example of such a day in Round 3, 1999 when Essendon managed just three goals against the West Coast Eagles. And in terms of disastrous performances, Essendon’s Round 7 loss to Richmond this season ranks right up there. This weekend provides them with the chance to set the record straight.
