Engorged Onion

Is that tongue firmly in cheek? What is our brand? Seriously, are there particular words that act as values/drivers?

By that logic... who has played for the dee's under 5ft 5 - (170cm)? Ricky Jackson! Get him in!

Jeez 'Ethan' you're a proactive one in being provocative towards this bloke aren't you. I'd question whether you want to make the thread about yourself? Sure @Satyriconhome is verbose, sure @Satyriconhome backs the club no matter what, sure @Satyriconhome is solid in his opinions, but there is nothing worse than some entity constantly hounding a guy on and on and on and on.

if you show me your's, i'll show you mine

@PaulRB, it's an interesting one... love the dynamic that Rivers brings... and Jet is a great conservative defender, slow out of defence and does a great job of blanketing players. I place more emphasis on that, than Pig (Hibbered) who over the last year and one game has merely slammed the ball on to his foot for 'yardage'. That's a little unfair of course... Where to go with the ageing players eh....

Valid point re: contested mark @dee-tox , it's all true...but what is the alternate? hoping a bloke who has done it historically, can do it again?

For forks sake Pete, what's your esteemed view on who should be in...

Bennell, although existing in 2020, is not for 2020, he is for 2021 onwards. (2020 is a glorified preseason)

Because he played an intraclub match and that was as many minutes as was allocated. People forget his is still 'recovering' and building capacity. A very minor chuckle in the continuing saga that is people's observations on this forum. Sorry @Diamond_Jim, he is potentially one of the biggest game breakers we have...it is ASTUTE rehab practice to do this.

He'll either be a poor man's Sam Mitchell, or a wealthy man's Richie Vandenburg. I think he is comfortably worth persisting with.

great useless stat! twitter that one pal...

So many plot lines! So what's your version of the truth?

And that's pretty much the dichotomy on the forum right there Empathic, nuanced considered opinions vs harden the [censored] up no matter the context.

nice credentials

how do you know these things @whatwhatsaywhat about how he trains?

I was being a little flippant re: the kids line mate

I've got some pretty firm views on drinking Energy Drinks 'What about the kids who read this' 'The Sports Meds at the club think this is ok?' 'Maybe I am ill informed, and the clubs Sports Meds have it right?' Anyway... WTF Perhaps someone on this forum can educate me.

Ricky Jackson would be the Caleb Daniels of the competition.

Did the commentators talk about Schwarz's basketball background every possession like they do Pendlebury?

With a tweet like that, I presume Brad is no longer in the ‘system’ and is unencumbered by contracts.

Nice work Glenn

Did Simpson run over your cat?

I'm sure they've got balls @Kelpien, they just don't have a media platform. The fact that you don't here about it in the media, does not mean it's not occurring.

Wow, just woke up to the news. It's hard to see the season going forward from here for Essendon in a way that is not compromised. BUT that's what the AFL does best, operate in compromised conditions. From what I have read, EFC seem to have followed protocol, so it's hard to come from a punitive perspective towards them. For Melbourne, well, I started a thread before the Carlton game about what the season looks like from the FD department perspective. This locks it in now to being preparation for individuals and team systems 'in game' to get a clear run for 2021...I'd dare say all other teams have that focus now too. What a palaver. Ps... this has prolonged Harley's career! Woot!

The beauty of supporting this club eh! Still its better than a decade of seeing if we won't get flogged by 60 points.
