Well, with Armageddon Man talking about WW111, I'm not surprised at the rise in the Gold price. Never underestimate the power and influence of the religious right in America. They believe literally in everything the Bible says. They actually WANT Armageddon to come because that's when the Messiah (n...

I too am on the waiting list for so called elective surgery and it now looks like I'll be put back even further on that list along with no doubt probably 1000's of other people. Damn you Vic Labour Gov't for not caving in to the unions the way Rodent/Smirk and Co. keep telling us you always do. Yet ...

And Hockey keeps harping on the fact that only 20% of workers are in unions ergo unions are losing their relevance. Well to that I say more fool the other 80%, it just shows how complacent and deluded they've become thinking that without unions their lot will never change, that the workers pal Littl...

And still 1 in 10 Australians living below the poverty line, an apalling figure but still the Rodent tells us that families have never been better off. Of course none of this should be unexpected with a Liberal Govt. As I've always maintained they are the Government of the wealthy. Also the media ar...

And to think poor old Kim Beasley got shafted in no small way based on the back of an odd couple of Faux Pas. Fair Dinkum, Dubya makes Kim sound like Winston Churchill in comparison. Bush makes that many boo boos that there's enough to make a calender of them every year...that's right he makes these...

Don't get me wrong BD (and others) I'm a Jobe fan too. I'm just playing Devil's advocate here a bit...trying to look at him from someone else's i.e. the new coach's (whoever that may be) perspective. Personally I don't think there's a lot that this team couldn't achieve with a whole new game plan an...

You may well be right BD but I have a nagging feeling that the decisions made over coming months may be crucial in Jobe's career. I know you have to take what Sheedy says now with a grain of salt (always have actually) but Gee his comments about Jobe were interesting the other day...re his failure t...

As we all know, Essendon are very good at keeping things "In House"...always have been. Look at how well they kept the Sheedy decision hidden for example...Sheeds has known since January that it was going to be his last year. Wouldn't be surprised if it's already done and dusted and that H...

Does anyone think that this may be the thin end of the wedge for Jobe and that he may be offered up as trade bait?

Retired numbers...never lasts. Hawthorn were going to retire their number 5 after Peter Crimmins died...didn't last. Harford had it , now Mitchell's got it. There may have been others, but certainly they are 2 that I can think of.

Apropos David Hille, he's had a reasonable season, is still capable of getting a fair bit of it around the ground but the thing about him this year is that he has stopped kicking goals. He used to good for at least one goal a game (average)sometimes 2 or 3 in prior seasons but not this year...Why, I...

I don't know what it is (but I do have my suspicions) but why are so many potentially good footballers going backwards at Essendon, players like Monfies, Dyson, McPhee, M. Johnson, Lovett, Lovett-Murray. Is it just that they are not as good as we thought they were or is it something else....Fitness,...

Did anyone catch Armageddon Man on the news tonight...talk about laugh, it almost made up for what otherwise has been a totally crap day. He was being in terviewed with the new French President and when asked could he speak French, dear ol Dubya repliued ..."No, I can't even speak English"...

Lisk wrote... No point dumping him now. What in god's name will removing him achieve? Nothing. It will probably make people angrier. Try and accept that our list is ordinary. What it might do if Sheedy were to go now is give us an early look at GOD just to see how he'd go, just like the Blues have d...

'Love that Spine' ....Yeah, now all they gotta do is show a bit of it....

For years Sheedy has been obsessed with recruiting talls. Only this year has he gone for pace and running mid-fielders and yet our number 1 pick is yet another 197cm plusser. But what gets me about all these talls is that, with the possible exception of Laycock, none of them can take a pack mark to ...

Cannot believe you were at the same game as me bpdons. Taken apart early by a first gamer in Gill, shifted onto No 35 for a short stint (can't recall his name but he promptly kicked a goal on him) then later McGregor took him apart. The Crows attacked through him everywhere Sheedy played (read tried...
