  1. Only heard it on the "internet radio" but what a great game. To be honest it was a far better tigers outfit that last week, they pushed us but we responded all game which is brilliant.
  2. Gee even when "fit" jack was not a small chap. Not a body type you see anymore in the AFL. What a talent though.
  3. I font think its about building a port or even dee's following. its about getting a audience for tv rights/money. The poster who said we need a Chinese born player is correct in getting interest.
  4. Good thing the site was down during that first qtr... much better in the 3rd so far.
  5. a good start and nice to be nominated early in the year.
  6. I think it was lack of centre setup structure and the tactics to match it. he should have bought it straight down, but the mids should have known where it was going before he bounce and be ready.
  7. Gee thats a nice shirt to wear in public.
  8. Yes the French breed a particular type of horse for this item, same with their snails and frogs.
  9. I think the description is delusional egomaniac....Surprise he and turd are still not best of friends since they seem to have similar personality traits. .
  10. Interesting article on Lovett-murray. While he's getting his own lawyer, the in itself it no the interesting bit: its one piece of information I find interesting. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-drug-ban-banned-bomber-nathan-lovettmurray-enlists-own-counsel-20160116-gm77zj.html "One agent has suggested the overall compensation bid may be for more than $30 million. Bombers' chairman Lindsay Tanner has said the club has insurance to help guard against any hefty pay out, should that eventuate." The insurance company, a few questions. What was the premium and excess and would it now turn around and say that the actions of the club were illegal and therefore we won't cover you? As insurance companies love their clauses and guilty verdict points to activities by the club that could be found in breach of a policy.
  11. Made the news on CNN http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/12/sport/afl-essendon-doping-scandal/index.html
  12. Looks like they'l have to get real jobs for awhile. I would expect a few to retire as well. I don't think any club should get top up players as it reduces the penalty for EFC, I know it affects us but he hasn't played for us so we won't miss him. The interesting thing will be the number of civi law suits, how strong is that EFC loyalty now?
  13. Its seems we aways have an oppo that we cannot match, i.e. kingsley or when Brownie was out Bradshaw would destroy us. Often not the best's forward either which makes it worse.
  14. Nice puff piece but some important information on the transition of the club this year. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/paul-roos-looks-outside-box-as-transition-takes-place-20151229-glwize.html Good article to end 2015.
  15. If you think go Kraker it can be done. But only time will tell.
  16. The money we get from the AFL is not charity. Like others have said its to balance out a lopsided draw that designed to maximise profit. I don't care about the years profit, as thats a paper figure. What I would like to know is: - is our turnover increasing? - Revenue increasing compared to costs (Outside AFL funding) If we are turnover over more cash, increasing investment in football department etc, we are progressing off the field. The profit is essential what they have decided not to spend this year, next year can we put another $500k into the footy department and still are another profit? Whats type of improvement is what I want to see.
  17. With the automatic debiting and renewal it brings the numbers up and much better than trying to get people to sign up again each year.
  18. On 6PR this morning said he's looking to play on at another club. Thinks he has at least 2 years in him and maintained his fitness while refereshened up during his suspension. Good experience and a superb tagger if we want to free up Vince and Viney. Would be a very cheap pickup as a DFA.
  19. Though stats don't tell the whole story. In reality its not how many free's you get, it wheres on the field and when. The recent North prelim is a pure example, swung the momentum of the game completely in WC's favour. Free against play in front of goal. We tend to never get those, just useless one's around the square which is really neutral space on the ground.
