Re: Is the AFL becoming the premier league

Equalisation seems to have worked pretty well - geelong, Richmond, dogs, Dees - all lifted themselves off the mat in recent memory. We did too of course for our brief spell in the sun just without reaping the ultimate prize. Brisbane too had that miserable dip after their dynasty but have risen agai...

Better than a scrapper.
Yes, Battle has found his niche in the backline and is a valuable player.

Re: Core Group of Players

Sadly, our core group should be headed by Billings who, for one reason or another, disappoints every season, and Ross, Steele, Marshall and Membrey, who are all good but not good enough. These are our senior players and unfortunately they're just not good enough to build a dominant team around. Thes...

Re: Indigenous exit according to some.

No one wants to go to Essendon. And even if they did no one to sign a contract. The President, Coach and CEO just left. They are not travelling well. And remember McDonald-Tippungwuti. If there is one thing I am confident of at present, it is that Essendon is a less attractive club for players to j...

Re: Ben Long Midfield

The thing is, I understand that sometimes things don’t work out for a player at a club. Maybe for whatever reason there has been a falling out between Longy and some of the leadership group and maybe even the coach and list management. Maybe the list management meetings over the last few weeks have...

Bad oversight by the lads.
What about Geary ? Has he already been chaired off earlier in the season?
Difference is Geary hadn't announced his retirement before his last game.

Re: Brad Hill - trade?

We were desperate to look like a "destination club" - whatever the hell that means. So we payed overs. Same way we were happy to pay whatever it took to get Hanners. So we became the perfect destination for any player that wanted a fat paycheck in return for doing f-all.

Re: He's Only 22

Does this mean the routine he's using is the routine he's practising? Why would anyone practise approaching and kicking the ball that way? Is the problem that on match day he's not doing what he practised? Or is it that he's practising wrong? One or the other, surely.
