Bombertalk

This incident,  is supposed to have happened in real life.   The head of Human Resources at a very large bank,  says that the best excuse for absenteeism,  that he had ever received in his career of almost 22 years,  was from a female Indian employee,  at their bank's head quarters at Mumbai,  India...

"Already we've improved as a group in terms of our physical capabilities, now we'd like to see that in our football as well." Sixteen players recorded personal-bests in Monday's beep-test running session. What the f*** was Knights' vision? I don't think anyone can answer that... What's de...

Scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he teaches them one thing, I hope it is to take a shot when within 40 metres from goal rather than look for an option. I will then be happy. Oh and not to handball too much

Can someone please explain why Troy Cooley has not gotten any flak in the media for the at times shit bowling (Johnson I am looking at you)? Saker has been widely created with improving the English bowlers and getting heaps of media air play (in Melb anyway). I am taking bets for how long it will ta...

Awesome news! Suck shit Swans

EDIT: Oops on the spelling...was excited and the brain and fingers were working independently.

No doubt Bomber has a huge amount of clout atm and Hirdy is learning on the job. My question is why Hird would take the job if he is only a figure head coach? That has never being his style, so I don't buy it.

I found it interesting that when James was asked for a soundbite re: the draft he focused entirely on Neagle. Instilling confidence in the Anvil? Remember James, we did draft 4 other blokes?? ESSENDON James Hird, senior coach "He (Neagle) has been terrific. He's trained very, very hard and got ...

To me the whole thing speaks of a lack succeession planning and some of them playing on reputation (in the case of Hussey). The selectors lack balls, I wouldn't mind being beaten, but knowing that the next lot of guys are being blooded. Be prepared for more pain to come, especially as the likes of P...

From all accounts had a shit attitude at the Bombers, although Jimmy did seem to be a wrap for him once claiming he would be a 200 gamer for us. Lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, he is a very limited footballer, who was very good at getting himself suspended and not much else. Has ...

Its official, the cock is no more.

And Williams, J.

I am not pulling the young team quote for the difference between our good and bad games. I truly think the issue is mental, having the stength to get through adversity and believe in yourself and your team mates. As was stated, you don't go and beat teams in the 8 without having the list. The thing ...

I totally agree that the finger should be pointed at the board. All of the attention is on the off field actions rather than what the team is doing on the park, which is totally the wrong approach. We as supporters care what happens on the ground and not having this played out in the media and of fi...

So where are you going to stick T. Pears when he comes back from injury? Can you play 4 talls or will Hurley be a floater between the two 50's?

One game dosen't maketh the coach. I suspect that the knives would come out pretty damn quick. I for one will saviour the victory tonight. The interesting thing is that the majority of the wins this year (5) were against top 8 teams (Saints (x2), Dogs, Blues and North). Does this reassess expectatio...

Stunned!

When was the last time an Essendon KPP had 30 possesions?

M. Hurley

18 kicks
12 handballs
13 marks

Mark my words - Welsh will not be dropped unless he is either suspended or injured. They made him a VC and that is were my arguement starts and ends.

Ah the draw, after round 13, we would have played Geelong and Hawthorn twice BEFORE playing:

North
Brisbane
Melbourne
Adelaide

Really hilarious.......

Can someone please explain the 'supposed' rushed behind? From what I say he barely touched it, let alone knocked it over the line.

In my opinion, the only reason they were close to us was from the bullshit decisions that kept them in the game, otherwise we should have won by 5 goals.

Or how big a loss Lloyd was to us in 2006. Losing a focal point changes alot of things and makes you wonder how long he has been carrying them. I have never rated St Kilda and there reliance on topping up with recycled players will come to haunt them if they dont win a flag (within the next two year...

Is the fact that St Kilda are getting done by Carlton atm a good or a bad thing for next round? Tonight is a great example of what is required to beat them. Hard tackilng of their midfield, kicking it long and quick into the forward line, and using pace to break their lines. We have 2 days extra br...
