Don't think I will be back here for a while, my love and passion for footy is pretty much gone and there isn't too much positive stuff to say on here these days either...

Hope you all stick with the club but boy it's not fun being an Ess girl these days...

Catch ya

Was in the car when I heard this this morning and I had a bit of a teary...

What on earth is the world coming to?

Zaka and Ariel IN
Buckets and Edwards OUT

We've just lost our best defender... Ariel "demoted" to the seniors!

Maybe Pears will have to go back once again!

If Giles still can't get a game this week with Buckets now out of action... then it was all for nothing. Great for our VFL side but must be so disappointing for him.

The match against Brissy proved that this man can be the power forward we all want him to be, just needs to perform more consistently and fix that kicking! Needs some help down there too from both the mids and other forwards.

Dempsey 9.5 seasons. Bugger me. Yet to live up to his "potential". Another example of what RC is on about... EFC should not be entering into discussions about retaining him. It should be in talks to find him a new home. Plain and simple. x2 Yep there is no way he will be staying in red an...

Not bad! No way the Suns will be letting Prestia go though... Seems they are resigned to losing Dixon then if they are wanting Buckets.

Don't know how genuine this is but a lot of talk last night that we may be involved in a Geelong trade with Adelaide for Dangerfield... The Cats need two first round picks and may move Motlop on to us for ours... we would then perhaps get a second round pick back from possibly the Crows. Doubt Motlo...

Huge match against Williamstown this weekend, if we knock them off after beating PM away from home last week then we are certainly the real deal! With Zaka, Howlett and Buddha a strong chance to go up to the seniors a few players like Edwards, Kav and O'Brien could be back in the VFL mix this week.

Meh. Maybe with the time off they can sort out his contract. exactly!! I still get the feeling he may leave if a big offer from another club comes through... as long as he doesn't go the the navy blue enemy I couldn't care less at the moment! Hirdy this morning suggested Hurls may play forward or t...

Maybe Rodney Eade is wishing he wasn't at the $100m Suns....yes....$100m is what it cost us, the Pies, Dawks, Tiges etc to set them up plus another $100 for GWS ..... plus the Draft Picks. Ignore your heartland and trouble will come from within. Over react and punish a Club for being slack governor...

Out for 4-6 weeks with the ankle he did in the last second of the game. If he doesn't sign in the time he is out he is gone. I think he is gone anyway. Wow, we are cursed . :( Yep it seems we are :( Haven't given up hope he will stay but if he ends up at another Vic club I will be spewing. Intersta...

Not supposed to be a strong draft so even more crucial we get it right

Seems we are in serious talks with Zac Smith from the GC- Not sure why considering I think we should keep TB and Giles and Mckernan are contracted. Unless we are wanting to make McKernan a forward with Joey and send Carlisle back in defence? Dempsey is a free agent (and native Queenslander) and coul...

Needs to play deep forward now we have some mids returning from injury! Can still be a dangerous goal kicker when on!

Would be fighting Hurls for the B&F if it was counted today- brilliant effort from only a second year player. Needs a few senior boys to go along with him

How many firsts players can we play in the seconds? There is a limit isn't there?

No limit- we are a stand alone side

I have a very good feeling about our VFL boys this year, obviously the biggest test is Port Melb after the bye but we have a very strong list!

oh Jenkins If we had our time over I bet we would do more to keep him!
