its quite weird how players through sandy like rennie gilchrist, stefan martin, tomi johnstone and even shane valenti are better players then heath and even more skilfull yet are not training AFL standard and still get in the best or make a contribution to the side. quite sad really.

how come james frawley didn't play??

nar he has taken the captaincy from lace whitnall. a announcment is expected during the week.

besides Gibbs, murphy and carazzo all there kids are hacks!!

WTF WOULD U TRADE BATE!! the kid is only 20 years old and people are calling him for trade? what has he done wrong? the kid has been playing one of the hardest positions in the afl and that CHF. has kicked 19 goals and would have kicked more if he didn't miss this games. had a vice like grip. can kick a long footy, has speed, is very versitile and can run allll day. kids like him dont grow on trees. and he is NOT soft. now that he is getting experience games into him i cant wait for a bigger more mature Matthew Bate. the kid will rise great ranks. ps: pello is brad miller

it will be intresting that he has worked with byron pickett before, to see if he will remain on the list. WELCOME BAILS!! NOW LETS GET BEHIND HIM AND SUPPORT HIM!!

ohhh its sad when retirments happerns. and its also quite sad these two terrific blokes are retiring. they have given us great service and wil be sadly missed. A NEW ERA IS BEGINING.

i was looking back through demonland and demonology and was reading all the topics about how we picked up frawley and not james sellers or jack rewoldt. i was gobsmacked about how many people had written negative things about this kid and saying its luke molan all over again!! i think now that its the end of the year we can all say Chip has been impressive. has played more games then sellars and reiwoldt put together. and i think another tough hard pre season and a couple of months in the gym we could see a bigger and better james frawley. i like this kid and i think he could fill a full back spot in years to come. whats peoples thoughts?

says in the sportal report that sylvia has an abdominal strain. well thats good now, rest him up and get him ready for a big 2008

Weetra only had 1 disposal and that was a kick.

i think back then he had attitude problems.. was too lazy to train, too skinny and i think thats why he only lasted a year on our list

ok then buddy... first of all to say Mclean is losing leadership is utter crap! he had 23 possies and if u had watched the game u would have seen that he had to try and man up other opponents because half his teamates were lazy and [censored]! that is true leadership. And newton to be a major disappointment?? wtf! are u expecting to him to kick 5 goals every game. players take time. he has shown us all that he can play and will be a real talent in years to come. robbo playing out time? watever, the guy puts in 100% every game and tries his best. something i admire. and to say CJ chances have expied is why i think u didn't even watch the game. his disposal by foot and hand are lazer like. some that can actually hit a target! the rest i sorta agree but i reckon bode showed a bit. another who can hit a target.

joeyboy- doesn't watch game

turn ya capslock off!

why the ### did we bring in cameron bruce when he is soo underdone!!! should have just played for sandy

good on ya col! if its an essendon player u have my support. mchpee is a [censored]!

id like to see daniel bell in the leadership group. i think now we know what true potentional he could become and besides he has really good leadership. same with Bater

How come??

i doubt they wud think like us wozza.

im surprise u were even watching brock? yes bruce does get a heap of the ball but he turns it over big time!! he basically kicks more points then goals and imo he is grossly overated. u dont get much 21 year old get the job to skipper there club once in a while? has bruce done that no. A fit and firing brock mclean would easily cream over Bruce. yes big deal wow bruce got 29 touches. But u wont know this but in 2005 round five against sydney he got 12 kicks 3 marks 10 handballs kicked 2 goals straight and laid 13 tackles!! this kid was only 19. last year against the roos round 20 he picked up 36 possessions and laid 7 tackles. thats what a fully fit Mclean can do!!

pffft he had an average first half against the saints.. its a bit weird how your brain functions! brock got 25 possessions and kicked 2 goals. his first half was brilliant and kept us in the game. your boyfriend cameron bruce is soft as they come. cant kick for [censored] and doesn't get in and under for the hardball. he is lazy and does not show leadership. brock is going through one of those phases in football life. brock is dealing with the heavy tag and its a wonderful experience for him. bruce can get alot of the ball but 95% is being turned over. what does he want to be like his best mate daniel ward??

another rookie posting garbage they cant back it up with.. please if u know its true then back it up with some decent imformation.

sheedy has been quite these couple of weeks. though him dropping david hille, jobe watson and damien pevrill really turned me off as all three have probably been essendons best!! what happened to todd viney and mark williams??

i thought jamar was quite good last nite.. nearly brought the house down with that screamer he nearly took. should take first ruck next week

agree wit everything u said dappa dan! im not saying he is crap or anything just needs to learn to get rid ofthe ball a bit quicker as it showed last nite. BB did u see him play last year against the dockers in our first final? if it wasn't for him we wud have lost the game. he showed true leadership and courage to win us the game.
