When will this club get serious about winning flags? Last year we made a prelim and got smashed but it was pats on the back for all. This year we've been garbage. Again. In my humble opinion, we wont be serious until we have an actual home. A real home. Not sharing with storm et al. With a social club for members etc. I appreciate finding a site for this is difficult but until we have this and stop accepting mediocrity we will never win a flag. Thoughts?

Literally doesnt matter if we'd picked dusty and fyfe, we couldnt develop a cold let alone an afl footballer at the time

We literally created this

We'll never maximize our chances of a flag while we still need the $ from selling our home games

Dunno. But how stupid are we as a club, playing the reigning premiers at a neutral venue?

He swung a wild left which missed and then jabbed with the right. 1 week is very bloody lienent Beamed got 2 once for missing with an elbow

Julian "the essendon 34 are innocent victims and have had their human rights violated" Burnside? Lol

The solution imho to "congestion" is completely reducing the interchange bench. 18 players on the ground. Matched up. Star mid needs a breather? Sit in the forward pocket. 2 rucks? Gotta be able to go forward and back. Everyone would be too cooked to push up the ground the whole game. Would spread it all out. Tactics? Wow coach a has moved player b onto player c. I miss that. 10 interchanges a game. Max.

If we can get back to say, 6-6 at the bye after QB we'll be in with a shot in the 2nd half of the year. It'll be hard work to do that though.

Actually essendon in 2004.... to Win a final anyway

Geelong are good, very good, but their defend defend defend and then counter attack style will come undone in September.

I think its the other way. I think this generation behaves BETTER as a result of knowing everything could be posted on the net for everyone to see. We just see more misbehaviour because we see all of it and not some of it

Who pays for his treatment?? Definitely shouldnt be brayshaw. Or freo. The taxpayer shouldn't pay for this either.

Sorry, not a facial surgeon

It seems we are in fierce agreement on the second point.

You literally said hed been all over the media for the wrong reasons.

Yes gaff deserves less weeks than bugg because the media like him more.

And what track record was that?? Mills was the first time he was suspended

This time next year brayshaws teeth and Jaw will be fine. Gaff will still be a piece of [censored].

The prospect of this has me extremely excited. I may need to sit down. Will chuck $$ at the club to make this happen

Nfi why essendon would want to bring this all up. Demetriou is just gonna say "i knew it was them and i rang them to stop them getting in [censored]" And theyll just say the doping program was huge and they should have been rubbed out as a club for 2 years so really we saved your asses and everyone will laugh and essendon

Well the drug saga came to light as a result of an investigation into organised crime. Which it would seem bomber is also mixed up in. Doesnt seem like too much of a leap to me. Not to mention that clearly his thinking on the matter of substances going into the body is obviously totally skewed.

I agree. I also have essendon mates saying how disgusting bancroft gate is...

Heres an essay topic for you The Bancroft ball tampering saga is a darker day for australian sport than essendons drug scandal. Discuss.

The afl are still protecting themselves by protecting essendon. Because NO ONE wants the full story to get out.
