To me 170 games is a lot of time to wait for a return on investment. If that is going to be the status quo at Essendon and we are going to be happy with that then there are plenty of bad times ahead. But, if we make realistic assessments, demand more and expect more then we can only get better quick...

After having this conversion - I am now happy to say that I agree with everything you said in your last post. :D I was talking with a guy at work a minute ago and he said, you never know if Monfries was drafted initially by Geelong, he could have developed in a different way (based on culture/coachi...

Totally agree. I heard a Sheedy interview the other day on MMM following the Anzac Day game and I think he struck the nail on the head. Young kids get drafted and have people piss in their pockets right through their junior ranks about how good they are and when they get to an AFL club they think th...

Hopefully we are through our recession, by increasing the available playing list (like decreasing interest rates) will lead to greater on-field performance (greater economic activity). Unfortunately, our game style and players available are about as real world as 1st year Uni economics.

I don't believe I've mentioned Alwyn Davey????? Why? Because there is no reason too. And, if I were to make mention of player injuries I would make a judgement based on the types of injuries. Last year Davey broke his arm and this year he did his knee. I see no correlation - a part from bad luck. I ...

I see your point and have a few times now, but I have the feeling neiher Dyson nor Monfries have any amount of the ticker the players you have mentioned in your last two posts. As for McVeigh, I believe he suffered from a lack of opportunity in the midfield. I always felt he showed promise in the mi...

Well I'd like to watch their 60th games and I'd bet they'd be a lot better than Monfries/Dyson/Johns. I'm happy sit with that risk.

I'm glad I've generated this debate. Let me at least respond in a respectful manner unlike yourself Robbie. You must be the only one allowed an opinion for god sake. Let me just say that I love the EFC and only want success. I just prefer to adopt a realistic point of view of where we are and the ti...

Well in that case don't hold out us winning a flag in the next 10 years.

About the same result as last night for about 4 or 5 weeks to come I'd say. We look like a good country side against the a shit country side at the moment (and we're it). Every time the ball goes into the good sides forward line they walk into goal.

To my way of thinking the following 4 should be shown the door at the end of the season. They frustrate me to know end: 1. Monfries - for a guy who looked so promising in his first year he is now rendered worthless. I would seek a trade to the Adelaide Crows at the end of the season. So, play him to...

Lick my ba@ls...how can this happen!!! I would play Darcy Daniher for sure...no need to bring the other two in. We know this guy is the future of this club...why don't we put a historical standpoint on his debut when they talk of him in 10 years time as having debuted on Anzac Day. Go Darcy you good...

Tony Jones on the The Today Show hinted that it is the club referred to by C7 and that the player is high-profile or at least a well known household name. Poses the question, at what level are we talking about? I think they should name them and shame them - after all they have committed a crime and ...

I turning it off now - good riddens Kevin Sheedy - you're the reason we are the position we're in.

Why the hell do u have Lucas at CHB - no idea.

We are are a disgraceful outfit. We should be down by 8 goals at 3 Qtr Time.

Slattery is dirt

RABBLE...ABSOLUTE...RABBLE

My god...Kepler Bradley is one dead duck...everything he touches turns to shit.

I think it may be good to see the back of Sheedy despite it being a shock in the same light.

What I hate is when he starts talking about the opposition and pumps them up...I think it promotes self doubt within the team...like when he pumped up Franklin...and he kicked 9...focus on the fact that we've won 4 in a row and we should win 5 in a row this week if we play hard at it bold attacking ...
