Why so stupid? Are you mentally deficient ?

Is this thread a joke??? Gumbleton at 100% fitness doesn't actually make him a great footballer. The season (2010) he did manage to string a few games together he was absolute crap, why the hype about this bloke? The reality is he is injury prone, can't kick and probably doesn't have the required sk...

To me it looks like he's rusty and hasn't played a game all year. Last night as usual he presented well and made a contest but just missed out on a number of marks. He seems do all the right things and gets in the right position but just misses out in the end. He's probably a frustrated footballer a...

Another sub-par performance last night for Melksham. Apart from the goal he snapped when the game was over you would hardly know he was out there. He was consistently beaten at the contest by bigger and stronger bodies which is a real concern considering we played GWS. Next to those blokes he looks ...

He's back to being a bit player again?

That's the ton up after 6 years, yay me.

I would have thought that player bashing was no longer such a smart thing after what Brent Stanton has shown. Questioning Melksham's value right now is just a futile exercise in specualtion Let the guy develop into the player the coaches want him to be - he is currently learning this. Yep, he has s...

he is a bit up and down this year but c'mon give the kid a go, we would never get a settled team if we keep knocking on players in their 3rd year Agreed... people are being way to harsh on Melksham.... yeah he wasn't good last night but he has had a very good season thus far. Don't know how you can...

Melksham hasn't come on as most people expected he would this year. I still think he could be a gun but it's probably going to take a bit of time. Maybe another huge pre-season is just what he needs to get his body up to AFL level. At the moment he's showing he's a little bit out of his depth skill ...

Haha, an anchor is asking for way too much... we tried trading him last year and nobody was interested. Why would anyone have interest now that he's already spent 1/3 of the season on the sidelines. If his body is 100% this time and he's able to string together a heap of games he would want to play ...

I think we are going into this game too top heavy in the forward line with Hurley, Ryder, Crameri and possibly Carlisle. Hurley obviously matches up well on Reiwoldt who has kicked a couple of bags of 4 with limited opportunities recently. Also our forward line has been functioning pretty well in th...

I hope that he proves everyone wrong and in his time away has worked really hard on the basics of footy. His kicking was a major issue when he was able to string some games together, hopefully at a minimum that has been sorted out. He's going to have to play some spectacular footy to remain on our l...

I'm confused. One of you guys need to change names so I can work out who's winning. I have been on this site for 5 or 6 years but I rarely post. Recently I have spent more time reading the Bomber Blitz forums as they seem to have a lot more people posting and most of the time more up to date informa...

He predicts the end of the world on December 21 too...

Davey is so frustrating to watch, in the first half he was on the end of a handball from Crameri and just dropped it. I was calling for his head. He would of been running into an open goal if he had of just focussed on the ball for a split second. His speed gives him the ability to get into great po...

I love what you have done here Windy_Hill and mostly agree with what you have said about your top 10 but how is Howlett No 3. and Bellchambers No. 5? Surely Zaharakis and Hocking are well ahead of Howlett... Zaharakis may of gotton off to a slow start this year but he really stepped up last year and...

I rate Pears and Hooker, both are hard working honest defenders. Carlisle though, I think he has that X factor about him. Potentially he could be anything. At the moment he's a bit's and pieces player who going into a game doesn't know whether he's playing forward or back. For Bendigo he has torn a ...

This is a normal injury list that you could probably see from any AFL club. Sure Essendon have been unlucky in the last couple of years and I guess we are prone to the odd hamstring complaint but it's not that bad. Apart from Prismall and Gumbleton (who is always injured) we will have the majority o...

Melksham could be an absolute gun and I think our coaching staff have a lot of time for him. The big problem for him is his tank, he doesn't seem to be able to get up for those second or third efforts and when he does he's stuffed and ends up resting on the bench. I hope he gets dropped this week ju...

Do we know that Demps will definately miss the game yet?? He was running quite freely before the second quarter but obviously the club was being cautious and subbed him off. Yes, the "club's cautious approach" will see him spending the next 2 months in a hyperbaric chamber, then he will s...

Gimps, I think Hooker deserved his spot last week ahead of Carlisle as he is a more senior player and his form wasn't bad. Having said that Carlisle was very good at CHB when he did get the oppertunity late last year and I think most people expect he will be better this year with another pre - seaso...
