The Dons about to burst at the seams, Sean Wellman (again) perhaps? Recruiting staff? etc.

Huge chance for the MFC to pick at the carcass of the dying Bombers

its time to get ruthless and get payback for the 2000 grand final. Screw Essendon and everything they stand for

go get Wellman, and get some of their gun players

Essendon is about to implode

    The AFL should have nipped all of this in the bud when West Coke fielded a side of Hulk Hogan lookalikes. But it didn't as it was more caught up in expanding the game and turned a blind eye. Hate Essendon, but I can't help thinking the AFL let all of,this spiral out of control a long time ago. I'll also add, I don't believe all this bullshite about Geelong being squeaky clean. That just mightbe sour grapes but I remember us playing them four years ago and their increase in body size defied belief.

    so you see the similarities of this & the list management saga?

    all the same, the players have way too much political clout in the AFL...

    Dee -luded, I'm more inclined to think that the AFL is selective in the battles it chooses. There have been times, for instance, where GWS has dropped up to 8 players at a time giving them zero chance of performing (except against us). Any established club did that and it would be tanking IMO

    If more than the players are suspended, wouldn't the assistants also come under scrutiny? I'd be a little worried about being employable if I was an assistant at EFC.

    I think that aspect is what could make him gettable.

    I'm certain RtG... & they went against us re this exact thing, but then owed us behind the scenes (IMO Pre & post Inq')...

    gws i'm sure they are, but the next fortnight will be interesting to see how things are meant to be at the bottom end?

    I remembered this old thread of mine. Funny some of the comments, particularly my own at the start thinking the scandal was drawing to a close in 2013.

    No I asked if you were having a bad couple days? You seem to be very narky and ready to pounce like a glorified smart "aleck" as of late.

    Sorry I asked "champ".

    Is Nathan Basset still there? very well respected assistant coach who could be a huge asset for the club.

  • Quote

    Basset in enemy territory at Port. Was a revelation at Norwood. AA alongside Goodwin. I sincerely hope they get him in to replace Simon next year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
