Re: Clash jumpers

The minority of whingers win over so called "clash strips" regardless of the rest of us who think it's`a furphy just like the "Lloyd"rule and many others.
Some the others are nothing short of appalling although Fremanle can do what they like.

Re: WTF is it with Winderlich?

And another thing... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE SHEPHERD??? It seems like it's something we make a point of not doing. Spot on. Yeah.A crucial and uttterly neglected part of the game. Knights never did it in his life as player so is incapable of instructing anyone.Loved the outside receive handb...

Re: How long...

Absolutely right. It seems to have crept in since the arrival of the biggest hoax at Essendon, the marvellously misnaned "Five Year Plan"{revised every year}.Everyone had one so we had to join the long list. It's the biggest con everywhere. It pushes modest targets abrogates immediate resp...

Re: Can we please get Lloydy back to the Club...

In the context of how we were going at the time the Gumbleton's miss was a massive let down.It was huge.Heads dropped all over the ground. Unless he sorts out his kicking any good work he does will be nullified and affect everyone further upfield. Accurate goalkicking is far too under appreciated an...

Re: Looks like we're moving base...

That's an interesting drawing.Looks like a proposal from the 60's. The northern side "spectator amenities" area never eventuated.appears they might have been trying to get the crokey or is that crocqet club out. They stayed. So in all that time the only one to depart has been the Tennis Cl...

Re: Looks like we're moving base...

Why should the BOWLS and CROQUET Club be BULLIED into moving/They've been here for over 100 years. Sounds like we want to Have our Cake and Eat it too and to me,it's a case of the FOOTBALL CLUB SPITTING THE DUMMY and SNATCHING OUR RENT. The 2 Head figures at the Bowling Club are LIFE EMBERS of the ...

Re: From the Chairman's Desk

Well he's going to have to change his tune with next the episode.
He's already said that Essendon should aim for the finals every year like they always used to do until five year plans reared their ugly head.
This year should put the kybosh on that.

Re: The Blueprint - Our Plan for 2010 and Beyond

We need: midfielders who can hit targets and make smart decisions x 3 small defenders who get 5 touches but keep their opponents to 3 touches x 1 an attacking defender who can hit targets and make smart decisions x 1 small forward who can kick 40 goals a season x 1. Also need a game plan and player...

Re: Are the chickens coming home to roost....?

No hindsight here. A monumental stuff up from the start.The bloke is not respected by too many people and without it the cause is lost from the start.

Re: Farewell Champ and Thanks - Lloyd Retires

I left it a day but I'm still shitty with this decision. I've never seen anyone carry captaincy as such a heavy burden on the field. Why couldn't he have handed the captaincy over and played one more season without the worries of the world on his shoulders? He's been playing in a losing team for 5 ...
