Essendon beat the eventual premiers in round 2 last year. ....so the signs are ominous

52 inside 50's to theirs 38 should have equated to a lot bigger win. Geelong had only had 48 inside 50's against Essendon reserves. 

The last two games have shown that we have definitely improved in moving and getting the ball into scoring potions which is something we have had a problem for many years.

the 666 symbol is well hidden.

Correct.... Bit harsh on Tyson though... Second yr player will need more time to further develop....

Freo are great & it's Lyon 4 yr who inherited a decent list... Roos is turned over 18-20 players in 2yrs..perspective

Tyson was drafted by GWS in 2011 and played his first game in 2012...so this is his 4th year..he will 22 next month

Spot on. 3-5 thousand down due to the fight. I am as diehard supporter as you get, however this fight is the biggest sporting event of the year, and arguably the biggest fight of all time. I will be watching the fight.

You haven't heard of the "Thrilla in Manila" or the "Rumble in the Jungle" ?

Kelly is the 'pro scout'. His job is to watch the second tier leagues such as SANFL and NEAFL.

Would have played a big part in identifying and monitoring vandemon during 14 season.

Recruiting Manager Jason Taylor has been monitoring Vanders since his time at Collingwood

This team has the feel of 1986/ 87

When was the last time we beat the Bulldogs?

Absolutely damming stat

Inside 50's

34 ---- 62

so much for the Paelo diet......

Round 1 team of 2014.... could be over 10 changes to that team.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros would be great. They are terrific live. ..............What about "James"...they are are awesome live as well. These two options are way better than Kiss. Not sure on the fee though.

The Great Robert Flower said that he went into every single game thinking the team was going to win, otherwise what was the point of playing.

PJ is the opposite of Robbie.

His comments about playing one final in 2016 is a completely defeatist attitude. So basically this year is write off. According to PJ don't bother going to the games or signing up new members as we are still rubbish and we have no hope of making the finals this year.

PJ just lost 5000 members by basically saying we will be no good this year.

What about at least trying to make the finals this year!!!

Why say anything?

Petracca = Sylvia

Horse racing industry is pure exploitation and run just for profit. If there was no money in it how many in the industry would care about horses?

125 horses died on Australian racetracks over a 12 month period - thousands more are also sent to the knackery when no longer profitable. Today added two more casualties to those statistics.

Jack Watts said this to me today at training...

"When my time on Earth is gone, and my activities here are past, I want them to bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass."

Should we now show the highlights from the consecutive games where Riewoldt and Josh Kennedy kicked 11 on the giants?

If Frost and McDonald both play well enough to stay in the side next year and establish themselves then get excited. Right now we have 2 baby Zac Dawson's and have to turn them in to consistent players.

Frost did NOT play against Richmond when Riewoldt kicked 11

Unless something drastic happens within 90 minutes, we are set for another bottom 3 finish.

Disappointing trade week.

I'm positive that we will be fighting for eight spot. Heretia Lumumba and Jeff Garlett are excellent pick-ups and add to our team and i have faith that with a another pre-season under Roos the team will be much fitter, drilled and focused. And don't forget we have a top draft pick who is ready to go and will have a instant and bigger impact than Boyd and all this years draftees.....our own Jess Hogan.

Zak Jones?

My gut feel is that it will be two players - One A grade and one potentially A Grade.

I saw the goal as well. It is the greatest goal ever.

He took on half the Essendon team and beat them all. The whole crowd including all Essendon supporters gave him a standing ovation. Never seen such an ovation for a opposition player before or since.

The goal is not on film. World on Sport had Robbie in on the next day just to discuss the goal as they (WOS) said they had no vision of it to show viewers.

This is just heartbreaking.

Robert Flower was the most elegant player that played the game during the 70's and 80's....He was the only reason i went to watch the Dees during the dark days of that period.

RIP. Truly a legend of the highest order.

Cameron Bruce will be the successor.

Maybe Roos is really interested in the Brisbane job? I'm sure he would prefer the warmer climate.
