Gees that egg tastes nice...

Just one more crucial player that we have lost and continue to lose to SERIOUS injury at an unbelievable attrition rate year after F***N year, after F***N year. I reckon we damn nearly lose more players to serious injury PER GAME EVERY F****N GAME than Geelong have lost in the past 4 F***N YEARS. It...

Yep, poor old Slatts...another one whose gone no-where in the last 4 or 5 years. Far too many like that on our list. As you say Jimmy, it's one small sign that Hirdy has at least recognised one of our problems. I've been concerned our abject failure (on the surface at least) to recognise the problem...

I think Filthy hit the nail on the head in an earlier post. LMF. Lack of moral fibre. As I said in another post there s absolutely no excuse for full time professional footballers with nothing else to do all day, every day, 365 days a year, but to train, GET AND KEEP THEMSELVES FIT AND PRACTICE AND ...

On now, Dons V. Weagles circa 2007. Really interesting to compare the then to the now. Notables missing from that side now are Lloyd, Lucas, my old namesake Pev and of course the great one. The massive holes left in this side by their absence cannot be over-emphasised. Scotty's just kicked his 5th. ...

I chuckled to myself when I read Hirdy's commments on how we were outrun in the midfield...well far be it from me to question the great man.... But WELL HELLO!!.... F***K ME DEAD with a wooden spoon!!...Now who would have thought that that might happen...with speedsters like Lonergan, Watto, Prismal...

I'm really talking about eras here not just specific seasons. Sure we might have only won 3 games in whatever year it was a few years back (I tend to be glad to forget these very forgettable years we've been enduring now for far too many seasons) My point is that we are just as far away from winning...

On a more serious note, but related to the same theme. Is it fanciful to speculate that we may be keeping our powder dry as it were, until free agency comes in. We are already all cashed up and ready to go according to reports. i.e. We have to put up with this (not so)short term pain...(read CRAP) i...

And I've been following them for more than 60 years. I saw some pretty ordinary sides running around in the red and black in the seventies but really they were only part time footballers in those days, all or almost all of them had jobs outside football, really they were not much more than amateurs....

In a word INJURIES!! The curse of this club now for many years. I know that sounds too simplistic, too much like an excuse but compare the side that has played the past few weeks to the one that we opened the season up with against the Doggies...Missing are Dempsey,Winderlich, Hurley, Hocking and Wa...

He's a bit of an enigma I reckon. Watching him live he doesn't appear to be doing much but then you look at his stats and he's often racked up 20 + ... Like last nights 22 possies

In all the years I've been following and playing this game, and thats well over 40 I'd like a dollar for every time I've seen a club...any club try to turn a ruckman into a forward and failed ....I reckon I'd be a very wealthy man by now....It just doesn't work...never has...never will. Those that f...

Gees Robbie You're are being very kind to them there.....As I had feared even after all the BS about the fantastic off field team we assembled before the season started...YOU CAN'T MAKE A SILK PURSE OUT OF A SOWS EAR. Welcome to the land of reality Hirdy and I have a nasty feeling that before this s...

I don't know, I find the constant malaise of our ongoing and ever growing injury disposition all so depressing...It's the same every F****** year and this season's turning out to be no different from about the last 10. You know, I look at a side like Geelong and marvel at the dream run they seem to ...

Yep, Maggotted yet again...and I appreciate that it not just us theat it happens to. Grant Thomas hit the nail on the head a few weeks ago, complaining that far too many games are turning on poor umpiring decisions. To illustrate my point about it not just happening to us...has anyone just seen the ...

Lloydy could see it coming...nominated it before the game. He thought they looked very flat the week before and then you throw in injuries and stupidness to lose Watson and Hocking on top of ALL the other injuries and Yes...it certainly was a loss we had coming...the bye can't come soon enough for u...

It's kinda slipped under the radar a bit hasn't it...how long since we've won 3 in a row??

Slats was out with hip paid said to be fine for Richmond.


Oh.... I see....Thanks for that Jazz... well, all I can add is that there's no need to rush it Henry

Haven't seen the game on the box yet ... (and thanks to Foxtel's lousy programming, I wont see it til 4.30pm on Tues FFS) but yeah, I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw his stats in the paper this morning 31 touches. He's shown that he is capable of racking up some pretty good numbers stats wi...

Yep, me too. Got well and truly F***d up by a physio several years ago treating my bad back. Cost me about 6 months off work. Ended up getting it fixed with an apidural into the base of the spine....never looked back since (touch wood) But yeah, you'd think a club like Essendon with all their war bo...
