No. To. A. Night. GF.

I don't care what the AFL and the broadcasters think. It sucks.

This makes me sad. A fixture of the club.

RIP

Hi Windy

Fair comment.

However, what do you call a club’s failure over say 18 years?

An Essendon

Massive chance to get Dunkley. I would take that in a Heartbeat... Good to see Finally going after some serious talent... Now No excuses. Get it done... Tom Browne says Dunkley has told the Dogs he wants to go to Essendon. At almost the exact same time Mark Stevens says Dogs CEO said (quote) "It's ...

Apparently Dunkley “open to a move” to EFC Thoughts? In a swap with Hurley. The Supreme Irony! A Dunkley at Essendon!Seems like yesterday we wanted to Murder one of ‘em! Only joking Andrew!But you weren’t exactly Mr Popular with us,back then. :wink: After the argey bargey when Stringer left I expec...

Merrett stays next year. No commitment for anything beyond.

Well unless he is treated better by the club and his teammates - I'd leave too.

3 out 1 in.

GWS were offering 4 years. They must rate him.

So what is it going to take for GWS to let him go? Are we going to pay overs to wreck the career of yet another promising player again?

I couldn’t bare Richmond winning. They don’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the other three great dynasty teams of the 21st century. Won their two (thus far) against rubbish opposition. It makes me furious that our side circa 1999-2001 could only manage the one flag yet this Richmond...

Houli is definitely good for one mote year...at Richmond

Houli won't leave Richmond.

Rich has put too much time and money into the Bachar Houli academy and his foundation. That counts a hell of a lot for him and his extended family.

We could never match that.

Donald Trump has Corona Virus! Well then Pres,are you surprised Pal? Having put the lives of several thousand Americans at extreme risk,this Insidious Disease was bound to Bite you on the Arse somehow!

Ridley should be in the future mix. Not yet though. Seems calm, self assured, introspective...another 2-3 years of solid footy and some support with a view to managing young blokes minds. Get Jobe Watson to talk to him. I think Jobe would be an excellent person to have around the club / group. He w...

Expressed interest in De Goey.

Yes - lets add him to our list of "plays one great game every 4th or 5th game played, otherwise is crap" players

Oh, and the last player I heard was managed by their dad was Jelina Dokic.

So Smith, Walla and Stringer are supposed to be 'unhappy' at the mo. Well geez, who can really blame them. Our club at the mo is what-ever the opposite of a destination club is. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-trade-whispers-2020-player-movement-rumours-news-out-of-contract-players-free-agents...

Devon Smith looking for an out to "apparently".

Thank heavens - it is an Essendon tradition for at least one of the leadership group to leave.

Have those two been reading much of the stuff in here? I forgot about Campbell having to apologise to the players. That pretty much says everything about the club and its culture. We have become a holiday home for self-entitled privileged former private schoolboy athletes who get their knickers in a...

Daniher and Fantasia haven't been on the track and both have shown nuthin' for two seasons. We'll lose potential only as their injuries might be a huge impediment for their improved performance. Goddard's report from last year (I think) that Daniher's rehab behaviour was less than professional illu...

Perhaps the most famous Truth headline was "Snedden died on the job" when he was found dead in a Travelodge motel after having sex with an ex-girlfriend of his son. Heart Balm was my fave front of paper section. I am intrigued to find that only half the stories were made up by the journos. Thing abo...
