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...

I see he had 18 touches too...his bewst for the season I would have thought. I was at the game and thought he did very well.

I'm with you Staggy...Build a bridge Bombers...get over it and lets move on.

Rudd is adopting the Howard mantra....Whatever it takes. He's not going to buy into Howards wedge politics game and set himself up by being portrayed by the coalition as going soft on terrorism. You know...It's interesting to compare how Haneef was treated, being he was related to the London terrori...

Tell you another bloke we appointed who had no prior coaching experience and who was picked to replace an absolute icon of the club who we sacked after he had won 4 flags (just like Sheedy) A fella by the name of Coleman...he replaced Dick Reynolds (an even bigger name at Essendon than Sheedy) Guess...

If you look at the first bit closely it actually looks loke Chook is deliberately palming the ball down Scotty's throat. A point which I didn't pick up when watching it live one the box...Let's give him the benefit of any doubt shall we...great work Chook...had a great night...maybe his 'Breakthroug...

I know this is very much from left field...but does any one think Rama just might do a Jason McCartney.... play one more senior game and then call it quits, just to show that he could do it. I (along with everyone else I'm sure) personally hope it doesn't happen like that and that it's just another ...

A weird coincidence happened in the 84 GF that as yet I have never seen or heard of anyone noticing or commenting on...our winning score 14.21 was identical to the score we kicked in in our previous flag winning year in 1965. Nudder little tid-bit for all you Fish lovers out there. The day he did hi...

For those old enough to remember him, Laycock reminds me very much of a young Brian Sampson. Moves like him and from a distance even looks a bit like him. Like Sampson, can take a mark and again like Sampson, IMO he WILL make it.

As Tony Jones put it....I think he's set the cat among the pigeons. He certainly didn't do the ALP any favours tonight. Virtually said that dear Julia doesn't get it as far as IR is concerned and that Rudd, just like Beasley before him is getting very poor advice on how to counter the Libs attack on...

Seems the penny may finally have dropped for Sheeds...or has he been playing possum for the past coupla years in order to get the draft picks? I could never understand his reasoning behind not playing men behind the ball. His charter, first, last and always is to win games for the EFC... It doesn't ...

The game we should all be waiting anxiously for is in 2 weeks time v Richmond, lose that and Sheedy will be in more strife than the early settlers I reckon and don't for one moment think we're over the line with that one already...VERY BIG DANGER Game IMO

Don't know what's going on there at Windy Hill but we seem to have a way of turning promising young footballers, your Bradleys and your Dysons et al, into total Duds and the classic example of what I'm talking about here is Ted Richards...spends several years in the wilderness at Essendon seemingly ...

Staggy wrote.... Its both funny and spot on. I wonder if stats are kept on this... cause I reckon we have been towelled up by big forward more times over the last ten years than any other team, depsite having Fletcher on board. Think J.Brown, S.Rocca, Carey, Lockett, Ablett, Fevola, Tredrea, Hall et...

Beware the Wolf bearing gifts.....

I stand corrected Filth and Ben. On thinking more about it, I seem to recall criticisim being levelled at him for missing targets because he used to run too far with the ball, resulting in teammates being caught out of position. But I concede that Tim missing targets was not because he was a poor ki...

I got that impression from a Sheedy article in the Hun before the season started. Said something along the lines of..."He'd be happy leaving Essendon knowing the had the makings of a good side" or words to that effect. Made me wonder at the time if he was giving it serious consideration. I...
