I am intrigued by Essendon's defensive PR about Hibberd (and to a lesser extent Milksake).

Tim Watson, who I am sure speaks for the Dons, has said on a number of occasions something along the line as "Hibberd was found out at Essendon. We cannot understand why opposition have not applied the same processes against Melbourne".

Well Tim. Maybe it might just be the Demon's game plan perfectly suits Hibberd's style and their back structure. Their back structure both protects him and allows him to flourish...

Essendon's defensiveness knows no bounds. They are a long way away!

As you rightly infer...Watson is a DILL.

Enough said :rolleyes:

I wouldn't put it past the cheating bastards to suddenly find "documentary evidence" that only Hibbert and Melksham took "the good stuff" and that Jab took vitamin C.

I think a father who puts the image and future of a football club ahead of the physical welfare and well being of his own son is a poor excuse for a father. You embarass yourself Tim.

Honestly, it's a more than a fair comment, everyone forced him onto his right side against Essendon in the past.

Not too many teams have sent a defensive forward to him to stop him like Hunt, Shaw and Johannisen have dealt with.

Between Hamish, that hutchy wannabe sam Mclure and Watson that SEN morning show is just impossible to listen to for more than 3 minutes. It is pretty good when Huddo and Bob murphy are on

It's common knowledge that Tim Watson is a moron and his son is a drug cheat.

Or were you referring to another comment :D

I assume he finds it difficult to reconcile his inner belief that Essendon do not make mistakes with clear evidence to the contrary.

It must be the opposition's fault. It's the only logical alternative. Can't possibly be any other explanation, as they all would cause him to look inwardly.

Self-reflection and Essendon do not mix. Better to blame external factors.

No Tim, the only thing that was found out was the Essendon Football Club!

After a thorough google-search I can say with a reasonable level of confidence that 'dillusion' is not an existing word. I can't however rule out word-play in this instance, and there was one whack-job lady with her own website who gave the following as a reasonably fitting definition of the OP's usage;

'an idea regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is deliberately constructed and professed to be believed in order to delude others, the truth or falsity of which idea is either truthfully or falsely believed to be within one's own control.'

This has always been what i have thought. 

The health of the 34 players is of less importance than the Essendrug Club

this is the part i will never understand. 

Now Commentators are saying "Essendrug is everyone's 2nd favourite team" and "What a Fairy Story it will be if they make Finals..."

 

it makes me sick...

 

In some respects i hope there are some serious health issues that fall on those 34, so that the Stinking Foul Stench that grew from Windy Pill are once again legally up against the wall

As I understand it both Hibberd and Melksham are relishing playing in a different environment which is understandable in the circumstances. As a result, they've had the freedom to progress their talents and improve their game.

 The sour grapes from Timmy are ill- founded and unnecessary.

Tim is renowned for his exemplary coaching acumen as evidenced during his tenure at the Saints (whenever that was).

EAD, Tim.

Have you heard what he said?

I'm assuming this is based of his comments on Talking Footy last night, which was a valid point.

I'll provide a more specific run down of what was said.  

'Why doesn't anyone tag Michael Hibbered? I'm staggered by the fact, having watched him at Essendon for a number years and how sides worked him out at one point, I'm staggered no one has gone after him for Melbourne.

I really can't understand how everyone is playing the man on this. His comments make perfect sense to me and he'd be the player I'd got to if my team was playing Melbourne.

Whatever his motivation (and my goodness there is some vitriolic balderdash on DL at times) Tim Watson is spot on with his comments. I can't for the life of me figure out why oppositions are not putting more work into Hibberd. He is cutting every game to pieces. As for his left foot emphasis, if you look closely his Dees team mates free up his left hand side and maybe the Bombers players weren't smart enough to do it.

Opposition teams are in a bind though because if they tag Hibberd with a defensive forward,  then Hunt and Frost will get off the leash.

Essendon fans are just salty that Hibs and Milkshake ended up improving at another club.

If you ask me, this is some payback charma for the Heffernan trade all those years ago.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
