In this week’s essendonfc.com.au poll we pose the question, should the Bombers move from Windy Hill if it means better training facilities?

Last week’s poll returned a resounding no from voters who were asked, Will Essendon still make the 2010 finals?
Over 60% of voters said no, with 27.6% remaining optimistic and 11.6% sitting on the fence.
Here’s what some of the voters had to say last week:
Joseph Attard from Taylors Hill says: Based on what we've seen so far, absolutely NO CHANCE.
Jarrod O'Callaghan from says: You're kidding right?
Wayne Jones from Berwick/ Australia says: We wouldn’t even make the VFL finals, let alone the AFL.
JD Nelson from Coburg, VIC says: After last week's showing you'd have to say that the Melbourne Storm has more chance of making a final series than Essendon! Unless the players and staff find some kind of miracle cure for our lack of pace, sub-par skills, weak endeavour and zero self-confidence (and find a way to cover the massive loss of Pears) we will be battling the Tigers for non-existent draft picks...
Edward Stunnell from Engadine, NSW says: Considering the Bombers had one of the best injury runs during pre season the results so far have been extremely disappointing. It is difficult to find a single genuine star player across the entire team. A number a longer term players will be lucky to remain at season’s end.
Stephen Mc Ateer from Niddrie says: Ask me on Sunday.
Charles Spicar from Wyndham Vale says: The Bombers much publicised game plan doesn't stack up. It may be pretty to watch at times but the brand of footy is unaccountable. Sides have been scoring heavily against us and we seemed to lack the physicality in contests to damage other sides. We can't win finals with this brand of footy.
Darren Matthews from Oakleigh says: My heart says yes but my head says no. To win at least 11 more games would mean a dramatic improvement in fitness, skills, defensive ability and having a genuine forward targets. Perhaps 2012 is more likely.
Jesse Collyer from QLD says: To all the so-called Essendon supporters who say we cannot make the finals - SHAME ON YOU! As long as it's still mathematically possible then we CAN do it and we surely WILL strive do it. Otherwise what is the point? What has happened to this club if supporters won't even back the team to make the finals, let alone the flag? It saddens me that too many have lost sight of our purpose. SIXTEEN AND COUNTING, always counting!
Shannon Hudson from Adelaide says: Of cause we can. Names like Hille, Watson, Stanton, Hurley Gumby, Fletcher, Zaharakis, Pears, Reimers, Ryder, NLM, McVeigh, Welsh just to name a few. I LOVE the sound of this team, we just need to knit together!!!!
Angeline Baron from Ferntree Gully/Vic/Australia says: Never say die!
Greg Sloan from Somerville VIC says: If we can maintain consistent form, then yes we can. There’s still a long way to go.
