Big Jim I grew up in East Keilor so I feel your pain / hatred of those smug fans,...god I hate Essendon!!!

I grew up in Sandringham but went to Windy Hill a number of times. I hate 'em too, but i can only imagine living amongst them daily!!

Respect to ya.

I have purposely not said anything about this previously but I am quite good friends with a close family member of Beamers. Essendon were heavily trying to get a deal done with him in last years trade week and he was very close to wanting the move, was not happy with what had been happening at the club. It was that close that his father had told family members it was nearly a done deal from his end that he wanted to go, he was not happy with the direction of the club. at the time my friend swore me to secrecy

I hope that with what has happened over the summer and even though he lost his leadership position I hope beamer sees the club is completey different from last year and heading in the right direction, I just hope we have some good on field results to support that!

Lol at the two bold parts.

Yeah mate they are at the top of the tree for me. 2000 still gives me nightmares but i went to melbourne essendon last year with a few bomber fans and my god it is fun smashing them. They were in my face all the way up till about half time was the best win for the year for me.

We dont need to lose our current best mid fullstop.

I heard that said about Brock McLean and Travis Johnstone and what happened there?

Did brock or trapper win the B&F the year they left?

Does that matter? Both Brock and TJ were rated by many as our best midfielders. The issue with Moloney and where he needs to improve has been done to death. I dont think he is must keep at all costs.

And we cant lose someone who apparently "bleeds red and blue"

Half baked, yes, but it'll still be used in contract negotiations to Beamer's advantage. And good luck to him. Love him and hope he gets a big pay day next time negotiations take place.

I have a huge amount of time for some of the older stalwarts of the club that stuck around during our absolutely appalling years... 4 years that are rightup there with Carlton of the early 2000s in terms of pain... Bruce, Green, Davey, Moloney...

I would just be very upset if we were to try trade our current best player. If it was beamer who wanted out that's diffrent.

I am prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt.Im sure there are others as well who would prefer to hear these back stories. Not everyone jumps to conclusions.

One year on and the senior players will either buy into what Neeld will be doing or they will move on. Happy players don't move. So be it.

good idea!

I'll never understand why people feel the need to react like this...

I'd rather read a little story then make up my own mind about whether I think it is true or not, without the original poster needed to be ridiculed.

I for one enjoyed reading your post. Some on here will throw their own mum under a bus as thats who they are, negative.

Keep on keeping on, and ignore some ppl. You will learn who they are and realise they are all hot air. Loud but not deadly

Here is hoping. I wouldn't have been surprised if a bunch of players left last year. Boy, the wheels fell off in a big way. If the training reports are any guide the sense of purpose and belief is back again though.

Very well said guys and lets get back to talking about the dees because its looking good at the moment. Keep the info coming mate i will be happy to read what you have to say.

The fact is if you lose your best players you dont win premierships. Beamer needs to stay and become our 4th or 5th best midfielder. Picks like Magner and Couch become our best clearance players and they are rookies. Not good for our midfield and development.

I wonder what the Beamer knockers will say if he does leave. I imagine his perceived inconsistencies, lack of intelligence and bullying excellence will all of a sudden look good and invaluable. Particularly when GC kick our butts

Then he is expendable on that basis. He needs to be aiming to be at least top 3.

He was not able to become our 4th or 5th best midfielder.

And no one has accused him of a lack of intelligence. Nice try on the melodrama though.

No team has traded with Essendon since the Salmon-Jarman-Lloyd deal, because they never offer anything of value in exchange, and waste other recruiters time with ridiculous offers.

And when they did trade with St Kilda they cleaned them up. Not that anyone could guess Lovett would play nil....

It would mean that he had a poor 2012...Nothing more or less...i hope he stays but i won;t lose sleep.

Selective reading there Rhino. A few 'not the sharpest tool comments' and lack of intelligent comments have occurred. But you choose to delete my post as in reference to these comments and pass it as abuse when it was obviously personal. Still reeling from the discussion regarding our past president.

Waiting for another delete

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
