Now most of that three peat team are either head coaches or assistant coaches.

[@UnregisteredChaos]

Make the team watch this, if it doesn't get the fire back, nothing will..

Freo for premiership

[@moor3al]

Lions for prems

[@MRHenHen]

Really? I think we won because we where a better team on that day & I've here'd people crap on about having more money in the cap but at the end of the day your team voted to crate that power house team BBFFFC :).

[@samsleiman5882]

Boring

[@AFFTL]

Essendon would of won the 2001 Grand Final with a full strengthened & fully fit team. The reason the Brisbane Lion of 2001-2004 were a great side was because they had a bigger salary cap.

[@australiandude843]

An Essendon fan complaining about "cheating"? Hmmmm.

[@BlaqKobra_]

Australian Dude haha love it

[@BlaqKobra_]

AFFTL do u not realise that Essendon is the worst team ever😂

[@planetx1595]

@Deegster VB WesternStar4900 Wouldn't have thought so since they are equal with Carlton for the most Premierships (16), I'm not an Essendon supporter by the way.

[@MRHenHen]

😂

[@shanetharle4030]

The only reason why they won 3 grand finals in a row is ,they had 500,000 more in their salary cap than any other team, that's what Alistair Lynch got every year 500,00
