so essendon chain cheat and the only player suspended is a st kilda player?

kosi and didak....

hope North and Essendon get smashed in 2014.
The only one I am upset about is us letting go...of our own free choice, big ben...at age 24, when he has 5 to 6 years of top notch footy ahead of him and he is coming into his own.
Madness

pick 20 something is rubbish for him, still 3 plus years and he's a top player still, we got bent over

how are collingwood getting top picks for players :/ :/

anyway ...

we lost a lot of games by a handful of points, goddard would have been the difference between finishing in the middle and towards the bottom. He is probably responsible for 2 or so goals if not more for essendon. Very good player, sorely missed at st kilda but we couldn't match what essendon was off...

declared bankrupt.
its all gone...

i probably concur with you Plugger.
Was trying to be conservative.
I was guestimating and doesn't change the tenet of my argument that we have/have had good value from most of the money spent.

its a good deal for hawthorn.
He adds very little to their structure any more and he frees up a million bucks in salary cap.
Hawks to refresh and go around next year too.
Its good for sydney, with their resources, short of a shocking injury buddy will straighten them up as goodes departs/fades/retires

Carlton went over the salary cap when they won a wooden spoon. We have some good players at the end of their careers. estimates Joey 400 Fisher 350 Roo 700 Dal 500 Lenny 350 Kosi 400 Ben 300 Milne 200 Steven 250 schneider 250-300 Gilbert 200 Armitage 250 10-12 players would take up over 1/2 our sala...

If I was offered what goddard was offered PLUS the incentives (sponsorship, after footy work, 'environmental ambassador contracts') I would have gone too.
That said, If essendon have been done for drugs...LOL.
it would be a disgrace if they played football with drug cheats in them.

interesting article on WHO is selling to Essendon.

Milne has long deserved a spot. His scoring rate is equivalent to amongst the best non full forwards in football. By the time he retires he'll be on or around 600 goals from 300 games. already 43rd in history, should he make 600 goals, he'll be 28th between roach and Loewe. his average is ahead of b...

Well it seems really quite simple Raph Crocker Blake Peake Polo can all wave good bye So can at least 3 or our rookies Shenton (r) Archer (r) Andreoli (r) And then we have at least 5 players who we should be trying to trade Koschitzke Jones Gram Schneider Winmar This would give us at least 5 picks ...

if the price is right dawes would be a good match for our forward line, if we can get him for $200k to $250k and a round 2 draft pick and some fringe players, good, it maybe an opportunity collingwood are looking at clearing some space in their salary cap. Dawes will be better if cloke goes, if clok...

Freo played well and a slightly better roll of the luck than we did <shrug> Im hoping they get smashed in the finals.

his action has a lot of personality tbh. It was really annoying the cats but his discipline was amazing.

Love to see him play 300 for st kilda and score 600 goals.

Richo's commentary is actually not bad.

Pooolo.

sadly I think he must play in the ruck or go to the magoos

So it all gets back to Silvagni. Dammit. wonder if he would come back now there are new people in place? Big money was thrown at him, money the saints struggle with. I hated him as a player but he has been a fine and persuasive structural coach from the comments of players and fellow coaches. Not s...

We have the players to win, its our mind set and discipline that is question. Hawks are pretty much the same team that's been languishing as a good but not great team for the past few seasons, but have re-awakened their desire. Our desire is what keeps us from being a great team. we just don't want ...

2 things have us out of the 8. our accuracy in front of goal, we are kicking big scores, but have been inaccurate in close games. our defence has been in decline since SOS left a few seasons ago. We have a structural problem in defence, and have done since silvagni left. Our forwards are kicking mor...

we lost a lot of close games by less than 2 goals. had we won 1/2 of our 2 goal games we'd have 2 or 3 more wins <shrug>

kosi uselessly scores a goal breaking a run of 5 pts

wtf who is our ff?
