Bombertalk

I wonder how many of you play competitive sport? Sometimes you have to fly the flag and not let your opponent get a mental edge over you. I'm sorry but i don't want a whole team of "Jolly good game old chap, yes you got me a good one there, tally-ho" type players. Lloyds fireing up may we...

If you have access to bombertv look at the video the senior players have made in honor of Sheeds milestone. Fletch, Spike, Pev, Scotty, Woosha and MJ are predictably boring (sorry guys), then comes Rama who is so funny and so full of irreverence. Absolute gold. http://www.essendonfc.com.au/bombertv/...

I completely agree and as pointed out somewhere else McVeigh did apologize for having let the team down. I am quite concerned playing the Bulldogs without Fletch and Spike. One might agree with this thread and also think the suspension of Lloyd and McVeigh was too harsh in view of the recent tribuna...

Staggy I don't see it like you at all. The most likely outcome in case the EFC disputes the charge is that McVeigh would get two weeks, which would be devastating; we need to beat Collingwood. There was NO usable footage, therefore the McBurney testimony is the most relevant and McBurney continue to...

This is actually inaccurate, McVeigh got the 25% downgrading also on the reduced charge because of his guilty plea. What is a disgrace is that McVeigh was charged for some incident that was really no big deal and should have earned him (and Gary Ablett) a reprimand at worse. I dont know if McBurney ...

Enjoy this guys

The problem with lies is that all the accomplices must lie the same lie,.. otherwise you get exposed.

Looks like Ron Tanberg is an Essendon supporter. Would not be surprised he has a lot of talent.

Well i got a budget of 1,000 i was looking at http://au.lge.com/md/product/prodcategorylist.do?actType=detail&currPage=1&categoryId=0200000104&parentCategoryId=0200000001&categoryLevel=3&productId=1100001016 as i can get it for $995 at harvey norman Careful, this model seems to ...

Just wondering what everyone would have thought if it were Mark McVeigh that retaliated. I reckon there would be comments like "typical and undisciplined" or "bloody stupid" or "he needs to grow up" or "he obviously hasn't learnt a thing"..... :) :) :) Defini...

Having played a bit (obviously not AFL but Seniors nevertheless in a great standard), let me tell you having a week off anytime but particularly mid season gives you the shits...you have to mentally and physically re-adjust having got into a groove. I agreed with most of your post but I don't think...

I see so many posts here and on BB where people are sure that we will make the eight. Stop dreaming there is no sure thing in the AFL, we have nine more games to play and it is very possible that we only win two and equally possible that we win six or seven. I hope -no, I am sure- that the complacen...

Unlikely, or it will make the Aussie dollar even stronger with respect to the US dollar.

I would love to agree just 100% but after some thinking I find the argument compelling and clever but a bit besides the point. Sorry only 98% :wink: I have the greatest admiration for the achievements of the union movement over the last 100+ years, however in a postindustrial economy the unions have...

We have the talent to beat Melbourne, but the key is in our coaches and players head.
Hopefully both the players and the coaching staff step up and make us forget the first three quarters against Port.
No game is given in the AFL and I always worry when we play against teams that we should beat.

Best Individual Performer - McVeigh/Fletcher Most Improved - Ryder/Winderlich Best Draftee - Davey Most Disappointing - Bradley/Dyson On Their Last Legs - Cole, Campo Who Must Lift - Johns, Laycock How many years will Sheedy get in his new contract (if any)? 2 Best team performance - West Coast. Wo...

How the 16 clubs continue to tolerate A. Anderson is beyond me.

Surely Ross' idea of points difference would work, I mean it would make sides want to win by greater margins, therefore when 20 points up wouldn't hold off and just secure the match wasting time playing kick to kick in defence, but instead they'd try turn it into a 30 or 40 point win. Then the team...

I reluctantly comment on these teams simply because I don't know enough about the real form of other players. But it bugs me that someone like Mark McVeigh who has been consistenlty great in past 1.5 seasons, can't get a mention, but you see someone like Farkyn Lockyer there. I thought this had bee...

Seeing as we are discussing percentage here, can anyone explain to me how they work out the percentages in the SANFL? I've never understood it and would appreciate some insight into how it is that they do it. {[(points for - points against)/(points for + points against) / 2] + .5} Interesting formu...
