I thought it was just a knee knock! :shock: Good old EFC - some things never change Essendon midfielder Mitch Hibberd has undergone minor knee surgery to repair damage he suffered to his meniscus during a training drill last week. General manager of football Dan Richardson said Hibberd will return t...

If he has gone overseas - what the hell is he doing in Coffs Harbor then? I am pretty sure that JD is the person under the bucket hat in photo 10 (unless Brown snuck along for a free holiday). https://www.essendonfc.com.au/albums/554865/training-at-coffs-harbour-january-20?modal=true&type=gallery&pl...

It's easy to be critical about our forward line and some of the Club's decisions, but really it's just so difficult to know what to do. If everyone was injury free and playing to their talent we would be worry free. Daniher, Fantasia, Stringer, Walla, Snelling, McKernan, Stewart, Smith, Laverde, Be...

God help us if Joe goes missing in 2020. A forward line made up of Smack and Hooker does not excite. Hooker has a nagging hip and Sean is good for two decent games a year. Both as slow as treacle and offer zero forward line pressure. Gown was looking OK before injury and Stewart may be available (a...

I doubt Cameron will leave unless GWS wins the cup this year. I recon they have this and the next season to do.

It would be nice to have a first round pick though. what is it - 5 years in the decade without a first round pick?

And on the same day as this report re Daniher’s trip to Ireland The Age run a report stating we are heavily into Jeremy Cameron. If Joe’s OP is chronic, as it would seem to be, then Essendon’s failure to secure couple of first rounders from Sydney will be severely scrutinized. Imagine getting Camer...

Meh - a nothing story at this stage of the year ... except for the litany of the walking wounded at the end of the article. Daniher bound for Ireland again to visit groin guru Daniel Cherny January 16, 2020 — 3.52pm Joe Daniher is again bound for Ireland with the injury-riddled forward set to visit ...

I'll restrict my suggestions to those who played a game for EFC and had some hype around them:

Elliott Kavanagh
Lauchlan Dalgeish
Dylan Van Unen
Kurt Aylett

Dunno what's more hazardous to your health - volcanoes or supporting this f****** club!

But Seriously. Glad too hear that you are OK. Geez this off season has been dangerous for some of the regulars in here.

Take it easy and thank your lucky stars for the reprieve.

Yes we had ten mills of rain, just enough to wash the ash of the garden and veggies. More in other places but not enough we've heard about to put any fires out. When are these do-gooders magistrates and judges going to lock people up who insist on lightning fires. An implant I reckon so they can be...

So it's a new year. Happy 2020. Oh shit! Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow!

So 2020 will be the same old...

"I got you babe, I got you babe".

I'll lay you odds that the two Bundoora fires today were lit by shitheads with too much free time on their hands and not enough brain cells to form a synapse.

Get the f****** to break rocks in Antarctica.

I also predict that the Essendon Football Club version of Monopoly will not be a raging success... https://shop.essendonfc.com.au/essendon-monopoly/

Am I alone in also thinking its time for Dodoro to piss off? Two generations of Essendon footballers have just about come and gone under his recruiting management and we haven’t produced an elite player in that time. Aside from maybe 2 F/S pick ups in Jobe and Joe (maybe elite is a stretch in Joe’s...

Will keep our record intact by coming home to round 22 with a wet sail and either just making or just missing out of the 8 by percentage. If making the 8, will lose our final by just under 100 points.

Top goal kicker - Tippa
Most improved - Tossup between Mitch Brown, Hartley or Zac Clarke

Apparently this bloke is on our radar to take the last place on our list, I don`t know how he plays but he sure looks like a tough nut. :wink: https://www.afl.com.au/news/321011/could-bombers-pluck-nt-high-flier-to-fill-their-final-list-spot- Strange - I though we were desperately seeking mids...

Nor so much draft related but Supplemental Stupid Draft Spots... Apparently we are keeping a spot on our list empty so we can fill it (if needed) through the supplemental selection period or mid-season draft. I suspect that may have more to do with salary cap tightness than "the opportunity to draft...

He's always been someone that doesn't mind hitting a few blokes. We need more of that. No more nice guy antics. At last, no more Mr. Nice Guy stuff, just what we need someone with a mouth and a bit of mongrel about them. More of this please. How could an onfield prick like Worstfod turn into such a...

Would love to buy into this “steal of the draft” thinking but let’s be honest, you could throw a blanket over dozens of non-heralded players and surely one will emerge as a gun footballer. A steal, is more likely a highly touted player who slides from early to late selection. I am not sure if Cahil...
