Having been there and sadly witnessed it all before, let me tell you folks....It's the 70's all over again. And I'll give you my little tip now for FWIW ... I think we better get used to it, what with the 2 new teams coming in and from what I seen of Bendigo we aint got nothin comin through.

Oh don't worry Bomber fans "Everythings going along nicely...except for the win/loss ratio" I mean what an absolute load of blatant spin CRAP!!! It reminds me of Greg Chappel'ls comments after he'd scored about his sixth blob on the trot "Oh I'm not batting badly I just keep getting o...

Either looking stunned or sharing a joke

I've said this before and I'll say it again now. As with all things in life... you get what you pay for...Case closed.

By the way, welcome back Filth and All the best with your health issue

Haven't seen the game (cept for the last 5 mins or so...when we looked fantastic :? ) and don't intend to either. But from what I've heard from the post match discussions and read on here tonight about some of Knight's moves today, I have just one question ...seriously....IS ESSENDON TANKING ALREADY...

Think this has been going on for quite some time...When was that game played at the MCG against the Swannies, the day Lloydy bagged 13? Twas obviously back when the G was our home ground...had to have been back in the 90's...well back into it? Anyway. my point is that I can clearly recall the commen...

Oh No...Still no Slattery...We're done for now.

Caught the 'Great' mans' game on Friday night. Watched him with great intent actually and all I can say is it looks like a case of same old same old...only worse, to me. Dropped marks, poor decision making...Did anyone catch him leaving his man Cloke (who must have thought all his birthdays had come...

Re the King Richard anecdote Swoods. I mentioned it because it harks back to our ultra conservative days, which is what my article is all about and how I hope that we are not returning to that kind of thinking. I'd wager that there are those in positions of power still at the club that still think t...

You know, I have this uneasy feeling that we are seeing this club gradually slipping back into it's pre-Sheedy days of ultra-conservatism; of not wanting to spend a quid. Being more concerned with how much money we have in the coffers than how much on- field success we'ree having .You old timers out...

Think you might have hit the nail BD. Lack of good runners around him certainly aint helping. We seem to have fallen off appallingly in that area this season which probably explains why Jobe seems so ineffectual. I know there are other class midfielders who are not exactly blessed with pace... Mitch...

I'm not normally one to criticise our players and I can probably be accused of stating the bleedin obvious here but so help me, it's simply got to be said.... I don't reckon Jobe Watson could run out of sight on a dark night. Sure he gets the ball a lot still seems reluctant to kick it (sadly not Ro...

That Podsiadly is supposed to be "ONLY 28??" Does anyone else on here think as I do that he looks about 10 years older than that. I have a 41 year old son who looks way younger than him..... poses the question in my mind I wonder how well they check these things or could it be a bit like t...

Well done Saladin and just to reinforce all the points that you made I found myself encouraged by tonights Chooseday game on Fox sports. It was a replay of a Cats v Port game played at Skilled stadium in 2003. Playing in that side for the Cats were Ling, Bartel, Ablett, Scarlett, Enright, Chapman, C...

Did anyone notice the stat in last Fridays Hun. For the first time they compared each competing teams overall team selection against it's oposition... as in how close each team was (% wise) to fielding it's best possible line-up. Essendons side was rated at only 87% while the Cats were rated at 96%....

I see captain Jobe has nominated Ben Howlett as our most improved player. Big call. I must admit he's a lad that has flown right under my radar...Twas a case of Ben Who... for me when I read that. But clearly he must have something to get that nomination.

Aaah!! ...It's good to finally see good old verbal slanging going on back in the political arena...Go to it Filth and Bert. Love reading your joustings. I just want to leave you all at this stage with one (IMHO) Very Scary thought...... Tony Abbott and Sarah Palin...together... leading their respect...

I'm totally P*****d off at Essendon always providing the life blood of these new teams. I go right back to the Bears, when they first started... Roger Merrett. One of our all time greats. Gave them years and years of fantastic football that he could have been giving to us. Frankie Dunnell (premiersh...

If he'd still been around, no doubt the scribes would have been calling it the new Matthew Lloyd rule

Wasn't John Nicholls a Rhodes Scholar??........

Sadly, Pat Wellington is no longer with us. Died from the cursed Big C in 1987 aged only 33.
