A new nickname or a doping scandal that has heaped disgrace on the club from across the sporting world? We hear a lot of talk about wiping the slate clean and rebuilding the status and reputation of Essendon in the wake of the WADA humiliation.
What better way than to be rid of the tasteless and insensitive nickname. Wake up and smell the 21st century coffee, Essendon. Change your name now.

Walters hints Reynolds will be next Broncos captain. League 2h ago. They were certainly stiff at times. Of the eight finalists, the Western Bulldogs and Luke Beveridge probably had the most to lose. A loss would have been their third elimination defeat in a row. Since their premiership they have been a decidedly weird, occasionally astonishing, frequently infuriating side.
This year, they won nine of their first 10 games. They were still on top of the ladder just over a month ago. They had a midfield laden with talent. They played manic, highly watchable football. They knocked off Melbourne. But no team can play like that for 24 weeks. And in the space of a month, the air went out of their tyres. Their luck ran out. Statistically, they went from the premier midfield in the competition to pretty much the worst.
Even Marcus Bontempelli, who normally plays with a leisurely economy, suddenly looked rushed and frustrated. They also had all sorts of problems with their ruck stocks. Tim English, who looks like he should be solving mysteries in an Enid Blyton book, had been sent forward.
Lewis Young, who has played 22 games in five seasons, was shouldering the bulk of ruck duties. He was comprehensively outplayed yesterday by Sam Draper, whose haircut would be grounds for arrest in many jurisdictions.
The great Essendon sides of the s always had a touch of menace about them. They were habitual line-crossers. They were tradies and farmers. They were Sheedy men. A lot of the current crop present like an intake of articled clerks.
They were outhunted and out-mongreled by a Bulldogs midfield that rediscovered its mojo. Instead, they played for territory. They were smarter with the ball than Essendon. They were harder at the contest. They had the best of the umpiring. Bontempelli, Tom Liberatore and Aaron Naughton found some form.
