Hey Daisy 1, if you sincerely want to know the answer to everything in life.... then ask Tony (MICKEY MOUSE EARS) Abbott, he's got the answer. If Tony is the answer, what was the question ??? Who's vision for Australia is of a dystopian society of austerity, high unemployment and increased inequali...

We are made of peptides and thier effects just accelerate / enhance normal functions. Recreational drugs alter our biochemistry making them a lot easier to spot. So are you saying that of all the alleged substances being adminstered at EFC, they are all undectectable? A simple google search will gi...

What number was Bomber Thompson's son wearing?

Our slogan is "Whatever it takes". Surely doing that trade and not caring about the players opinion would be doing whatever it takes! Just saying...I actually think that we would have taken the trade if it was earlier in the trade period. Then we could have used those draft picks for an es...

I reckon Howlett and Lonergan have been in better touch than Hocking this year. Personally, I would like to see him take on a more attacking role as he is one helluva a player Me too, but eg, Howlett doesn't impress me as a stopper, so who can we use in the role? Dare I say it - Kyle Reimers. This ...

[quote="nomolos Were we watching the same game. Ryder had 46 hitouts cause his opponent is slow and cant jump. Crameri was also pretty poor imo. 3 - Dempsey 2 - Fletcher 1 - Stanton or Jetta[/quote] Crameri pretty poor? I agree that it wasnt a 4 qrt performance however 15 possies and 3 goals is...

Of course it does, come round 15 and it is obvious Richmond (using them as an example- don't think they have a compensation pick) aren't going to make the finals again. Do they try their arse off to win another 3-4 games and finish 9th and lets say get pick 9 & 10 in the draft, or to they tank ...

It is interesting to note that only St Kilda has more potential free agents (including both restricted and unrestricted) than Essendon. Considering St Kilda has just had a period of sustained success whilst we have had a period of mediocrity at best it seems we have held onto players too long (Slatt...

Not directed at you, but what a crock of shit. I'd assume that any AFL employee, player or official is also forbidden from taking illegal drugs. But for some reason, the AFL don't want to name, shame or punish anyone until they have blown 3 chances. Yeah, lets protect the "integrity" of t...

He hails from Kaniva ... which is a hell of a lot closer to Adelaide than it is to Melbourne... so go home factor is non existant. Money and a professional club may attract him ... but he is likely to have the same levels of gratitude to his club for supporting him through injury as Gumby has for u...

Yeah have a look. Think you'll find that Woosh came in low diving at the ball; Wanker came in low and collected with his hip but not before Woosh pushed it toward Gus I think who the wanker from his arse took high as Gus was bending to pick the aget up. His first target was Woosh. He hit him high.....

Played a great game. He was like old mate Ryan O'Keefe in the hard work he put in running up from half forward being both a lead up forward and extra mid.

He looked exhausted at the end...I have never seen him look so stuffed.

Dumb decision by Shaw however it is a harsh penalty obviously to set an example to the rest of the comp.

I still think essendon is closer to another flag than the tigers.(despite them beating us now quite regularly). Sorry but can't agree...we don't have anywhere enough quality on our list to challenge for a flag ATM. Whilst Richmond is developing a really strong side. Could you imagine the optimisim ...

We smashed Richmond at clearances 51 to 28 or something, and had a dozen more inside 50s against both teams. There is no way they have superior midfields. Our forward press clogs our front 50 so even if we get the ball - there is no space to lead, no clear shot at goal. When we turn it over its a f...

As you all know, Hird went out of his way to try to lure Travis Cloke to Essendon. Its clear from our game plan that Hirdy always envisaged long balls to a contested mark. Cloke is clearly the best contested marking forward in the league at the moment and he or a player like him appears to be the m...

If Paddy turns out to be half the player that Goodes is I will be effing stoked I think Paddy needs a good kick in the arse. I was prepared to forgive Ryder's last season because I thought our game plan under Knights was completely shit-house and contrived to keep Paddy out of the game. This year t...

I think Fletchers skinny build has really helped his longevity. If you look at other footballer who have played into their late 30's they often have a similar build, ie Michael Tuck and KB. Another older man who is still killing it is Ryan Giggs and Sir Alex stated that the fact that Giggs doesn’t p...

I know it is early in the preseason to be speculating on players and positions but I am going to do it anyway. I think Paddy Ryder should play full forward for the following reasons: • He seems to get lost in the middle (look at his low ave possie count), this way all the play is in front of him and...

He also looks nice in short pants, so it aint all bad
