The 2011 Essendon Football Club season is the club's 113th season in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Essendon won 11 matches, drew one and lost 10 matches in the 2011 season. Essendon won five matches within the first eight rounds, before a form slump culminated in a five-match losing streak and Essendon dropping out of the top eight for the first time this season when it lost to Шаблон:AFL Haw by 65 points.
Their season begun with a 55-point thumping of triple-preliminary finalists the Шаблон:AFL WB before a narrow five-point defeat to Шаблон:AFL Syd followed. Wins over Шаблон:AFL Stk (in their captain Nick Riewoldt's 200th game) followed, before a thrilling draw against Шаблон:AFL Car and a five-goal loss in the Anzac Day match against Шаблон:AFL Col followed.
Round 6 brought along the mother of all Essendon wins – a 139-point thumping of the Шаблон:AFL GC at home, with the Bombers recording a record first-quarter score of 15.4 (94) and its quarter-time lead of 93 points also brought along a new record. Amidst this, Essendon lost the second quarter in surprising circumstances, before going on to finish the job to record its first win over a side featuring Gary Ablett since 2005. Only two more wins would follow, against the West Coast Eagles and Brisbane Lions in the weeks after the Suns annihilation.
Essendon pulled off the boilover of the season when they defeated the previously unbeaten Шаблон:AFL Gee by four points in Round 15, 2011, without their injured skipper, Jobe Watson. It was their first win over the Cats in almost six years, having not beaten them since Round 18, 2005. However, it was just their second win over Geelong since 2003, leaving them with one of the worst records against Geelong in recent times.
Round 20 saw Essendon at home to Шаблон:AFL Syd for the first time since Round 1, 2006 when Essendon triumphed by 27 points. Essendon won by one point after a post-siren shot by Sydney's Adam Goodes drifted to the left. Round 23 saw Essendon qualifying the finals for the second time in two years, when it defeated Port Adelaide by 7 points at Etihad Stadium. It ended a seven-year winless run against the side, having not beaten them since Round 18, 2004.
Essendon's elimination final against Шаблон:AFL Car was lost by 62 points, ending what was otherwise a promising first year for James Hird in the Essendon coaching role.
