Over the past month, and at different stages throughout the year, Knights has made clear mention of how well we have stacked up in the inside 50's. Despite our disspointing losses this year we have still broke even or won in this area. I can't see us being smashed in the inside 50's on saturday, we ...

ALRIGHT GUYS....LAY OFF SPIKE NOW....WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.... YES...He's stuffed up, and stuffed up big time... ...but this guy plays with the passion and comittment that has laid a major part in the foundation for our clubs resurgence on the field... He loves our club and is not going anywhere!!!......

Upping this topic...

Not because I believe he should / shouldn't play CHB...but because...based on his pre-season he looms as a major concern on where we play him at all....!

Would appreciate some further feedback from you BT 'ers on the subject...

I'm Concerned....

Yep,

I'll be highly surprised if we get up. The Pies are playing the best pre-season footy in the league at the moment.

If we are competitive...i'll be happy. Knighta should be taking it as an opportunity to blood some youngsters.

All will be revealed on friday.

Put spike down for round one i say....

Today's the 2nd, round 1 is the 29th i believe. That gives him 3 1/2'ish weeks on a injury that is rated at 2-4 weeks.

Hamilton was saying how good his fitness base is, he'll be right to go round 1.

He'll chomping at the bit knowing him....

We owe a massive debt of gratitude to Matthew Lloyd.... 800+ Goals (approx), Coleman Medals / 2000 Flag However, I think he needs to focus on getting his game back on track...before he runs the risk of the game passing him by... On SEN on the segment with Pickering and Colbert, alot of folks we're s...

I must admit... I did throw a couple of critical comments Lloyd's way last night....I just wanted the bloke to lift. It was driving me insane that Fev had 6 or 7 goals to his name at 3qtr time. And Lloyd...in my opinion only had 1. (I don't wanna count the little gimme he got in the goal square up t...

If we win that is

I'm new to this scenario..., So what you guys are saying is...if you have a membership and its an essendon home game...if you go to either a ticketmaster outlet or the Dome/G before the game....all you'll have to pay per member is a seat booking fee of $6.80? or something like that? And then you jus...

I think we all acknowledge...that after 27 years of coaching our great club, he was nearing the inevitable end. Because of this, the board made the right decision to position us competitively for a tilt at the new crop of coaches...which we need to be invloved in for the next 5 years prospects. Shee...

Agreed Bouncer....the matches are pretty clear cut from hear on in... Just did it again and got the same result as you....IT SEEMS THE ONLY WAY WE MAKE FINALS THIS YEAR IS IF WE BEAT FREO, CARL, AND RICH!!! If we just beat Carl and Rich, St kilda nudge us out with the draw they had with the doggies....

Try the link at the start of this thread...

I have us finishing 8th with only 11 wins, provided we beat both Richmond and Carlton by 3 goals each.

Baring in mind teams like Stk, Bris, and WB have tough runs home.

One thing is for sure ADELAIDE ARE GAAAAWWWWWN!

Spot on Staggy...

Agree with your ins 100%

Don't like the thought of CJ playing down back, he isn't agile enough and gets blown away on the lead from quicker opponents...Unless of course he was playing on a Luke Darcy, but I suspect that's Mal Michael's job.

I'll join....

He's my favourite player now that Solly's gone....

Honest, consistent and disciplined in his approach every week...

Well said Ben.... If Sheeds leaves...and Neale is available....we'd be crazy not to go for him....a great leader...great relationship builder with players....inspirational.....and has mungrel in him to give the players a spray when they're under-performing.... Something Sheedy hasn't done in years....

Oh....those were ques for the advantage club caps?....haha...

By the looks of it a lot of those guys would of missed the 1st quarter then...

Hopefully there were some enquiries for memberships....I'd like to see how close we could get to 40,000

On my way to the game this past Sunday, I couldn't help but notice an encouraging number of people lining up to get a membership. They had a couple of desks outside the dome, and there appeared to be at least a couple of hundred people lining up at each desk. I see we have passed the 34,000 mark...a...

Yep... Went down there last Saturday...met all the boys....nearly everyone was there...

Had a brief chat with MJ, asked him what he thought of the Geelong no show...he said....'obviously the don't care about winning...but we do'

Exactly the attitude we want...going into next year!

We need another tall KP Defender now.....

If we don't address our rapidly declining backline....we'll be stuffed for at least a couple more seasons....

Opinions guys?

Well....Whats done is done.... My opinion is that we lost a physical key position defender who still had 2 good years to offer.... Yeah this recent season was terrible from him......but he would have answered his critics next season....(he WILL at Freo) Fremantle quietly can't believe their luck.......
