No Jimmy Bartel. Now i think everyone would admit that Bartel is ALOT better then most in the list. Better than James Kelly who made the list. Dale Thomas at #9 is hilarious. Ball making the top 50 is downright nutty. I could go on and on but its tiring. Watson should have made the top 50. ...Chris ...

at his best he is overrated. He is also extremely inconsistent.. would not suit what is an already inconsistent group of players.

When was the show ever appearing to be intelligent? Its a comedy show. The only lighthearted football show that currently exists besides Before the Game.

what on earth is wrong with a past champion coming out and saying he has the desire to ONE DAY coach the club he loves... its all this media hype, and the fact the club and coach are doing a bad job that suggests that he should jump in right away. I never ever got the impression Hird would be coachi...

I remember having a similar problem when i needed a few players to complete the set of my premiership cards from 2000 which included the emergencies on the day. I needed sean denham, which i got at the 1993 premiership team 10 year anniversary in 03. And the other was Michael Prior. I got his the fo...

It's no secret, we're not even in the same postcode as Geelong. Even with Scarlett, Mooney, Ottens, Hawkins etc out of their side, they still have an even set of contributors who are seasoned finely tuned footballers. Why do we expect any different? Geelong are going to raise the cup again this yea...

what are peoples thoughts on the Hurley/Bolton decision? Another crucial one right in the middle of the ground. Seemed the umpires were hungry just to pay another free, Might sound ridiculous coming from an Essendon supporter but i believe it was a play on call... both players had there head over it...

What hurt more then the shit free kicks was the non calls, specifically lewis roberts thompson taking on a tackler on our 50m line.. and DROPPING the ball with a couple of minutes left. Also there was the Dempsey one prior to the 100 metre penalty where he actually disposed of the football.

Alot of things annoyed me about todays game, namely the umpiring, but im sure someone will create a post about it. But above everything was the incredibly biased commentary from Foxtel today. It was so annoying to watch having Frawley, Russell and co talk utter bullshit and practically support sydne...

By choosing Matthew Knights as coach and not Mark Thompson, the Bombers attempted to put a line between the factionalism which had haunted Essendon and begun to erode it in Sheedy's final years. I dont remember the club choosing Knights over Thompson, nor do I recall Thompson ever wanting to leave ...

he didnt get off.

He has been suspended for two weeks. He will play in the VFL. Ridiculous in my opinion. Would you be happy for this to have happened to an Essendon player in the same situation?

Prismall wasnt exactly a match winner like Hille but if he averaged 27 touches and 11 marks as he did last night id be very very happy.

Yeah its true. our skills let us down... the sad thing is if you look at the club we do not have a lot of skillful players. When we did win games last year Andrew Lovett stood out. I love Watson, he tries hard every week and is arguably our best player.. but he does not have great foot skills. Stant...

without Williams we'd be 0-4. Any forward in the current side is going to struggle.

A friend of fine did rehab with Doc Reid @ Latrobe Medical center, after a recent flare up of the injury they booked an appointment to see him only to be told by the receptionist he has gone to the Geelong Football club and no longer works there. Surely this isnt true, hasn't he been at the club for...

I was told he refused to pay the fare cos it was too large, simply walked out the cab and was harassed by the driver asking for the fare. He kicked him in the groin, but threw no punch, rather a drunken type of leave me alone push to the face, then went into Hungry Jacks and basically got arrested w...

Matthew Scarlett is no where near the 3rd best player in the AFL. Could think of so many id choose to have before him.

We have no safe replacement for a strong marking forward as far as I'm concerned. Neagle has not shown enough, and Gumbleton cannot get on the park. One game of Hurley's is the only shining light we have. Until someone else can lead our club in goal kicking then he should not leave. Lloyd, Matthew 3...

We have the best chance of any other year to finally have a rising star winner. The media are already in love with Hurley which is a great start. (as they should be)
