Can anyone confirm this:

Channel 7 during the broadcast said that after Pears went for his runs down the field and Fev didn't chase, Slatts turned around and gave Fev an almighty mouthing off...more than once?

If correct....gold

and why is Slattery playing on Steve Johnson?

because he destroyed Hocking in the first quarter with 2 or 3 goals

Slattery is rubbish!!!! Your a twit.... The ball has not left Geelongs forward line, and you need to be superman to stop them by yourself. On top of that, Stevie J is a confidence player, once he gets on top, he is almost impossible to stop...Hocking started on him, got towled up, Stevie's confidenc...

being an adelaide bomber and not seeing the game, i was under the impression, it was Stanton refusing to come off, that got the ball taken off us, not Mcphee....

that is coming from the radio thou,

Agree with your comments BD but it is quite scary when the lightest bloke at the club, happens to be one of the toughest. You don't need to be solid to tough..just hit the ball as hard as you can, don't take a backward step...then the respect will come back..the physical stuff will come as the lads ...

Just a question, want to get people's thoughts.... are we tough enough? there was a time when playing essendon meant pain...meant u were playing a side that enjoyed gettng physical (legally), i know the rules of the game make this harder, but it seems that we get pushed aside easily...we don't like ...

The argument will be that every kid that has been recruited is still growing in spurts, yet they are on the paddock playing games for their respective clubs. Think Jack Riewoldt, think Andrejs Everitt, think Nathan Brown, think Matthew Leuenberger.....all from the 2006 draft. How many of those are ...

Gumbleton is having growing pains. His hammies are struggling to keep up.

How tall was he when he was recruited, and how tall is he now?

I mentioned that last year...and yes the kid is still growning..hence the cotton wool treatment

andrewb my source works for an afl club, (not ours), but he is a supporter...just passing on some rumblings he heard that is all...nothing in concrete

Thomson to Richmond for pick 42.

They are just finalising the minor details

These are some that are likely deals- So i hear....another rumour. -Essendon gain Prismall & 15, while Geelong gain Lovett & 23. -Essendon gain Prismall & 33, while Geelong gain 23. -Essendon gain Prismall, 33 & 49 while Geelong gain Lovett & 65 -Essendon gain Prismall while Geel...

or maybe they could something like this together for all AFL umpires

maybe the AFL should adapt Law 43 from the Cricket Rules:


there are only 42 Laws of Cricket as administered by the MCC.

Law 43 is an unwritten and unofficial law that basically allows the umpires to apply common sense.

dominated semi-final on the weekend, BOG by a country mile. Can play.

Firstly,

Franklin wasn't getting injured every time he stepped onto the ground, Gumby was.

The club thinks it will help him in the future. Which can only be good thing

heard something very interesting about this young man recently.......................... tis good news IMO........... The club made a decision during the year (not sure when) that would rap him in cotton wool and wait till he stops growing before they play him again. Apparently they think that once ...

if we are serious about getting Daniel Kerr and the Eagles play hard ball, i wouldn't be to upset if we traded Lovett and NLM for him. Lovett is being traded anyway (according to everyone) and NLM shits me. We probably lose a bit, but we gain Kerr, which takes the tagging pressure of watson and stan...

If you add all the guys carrying minor strains,

probably closer to 30

There was a round 23?

With Gus, Llyod and Slatts all injury their niggling injuries further. (Did anyone else see the tape slatts had on his inner thigh).

Who would play? I reckon there would be an sos out to all essendon supporters to get to Windy Hill and try out.

Gold. Lol

i think there are a number of players still playing under niggling injuries, that may not come up this week.

Watson- Ankle
Slattery- Groin
Spike- Knee/Hammy

To name a couple
