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?

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 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.

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.

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.

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....

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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
