Sir Why You Little

New Evidence obtained concerning Essendrug Damming Evidence

Reg had a long run back in the halcyon days mate. We all watched it after school!!

7 years for a gun player is a fair trade in today’s market. i have never been a fan of long contracts, but sometimes they make good sense. Grundy can play all over the ground, the Filth don’t want to play against him, particularly in September I am sure it will be front loaded then taper off as he gets more battle weary

September

Dursma was a great footballer in 1988 Did his knee the next season???

That’s why he plays Talked to Robbie Flower not long before he left us, he told me with great passion that he loved playing with Carl, and hated it when he went back to the Saints and loved him again as Captain/Coach!!

Big Carl was the Captain/Coach He Plays, alright...

Big Carl not in the side? Sorry but that is not on

A good year is about September participation, particularly for the Club where the game began. anything less is total rubbish and shameful

I would much prefer it if all AFL listed players went out to Bush Fire ravaged towns around Australia and helped out for 3-4 days. That would create a lot of good will Vic v The Allstars does absolutely zero for me. The Allstars is not a place or town The Big V was all about killing WA or SA and vice versa Once again the AFL have mo idea

Yes i said it at the time. The third year was the bonus. It has given us a Premiership Player who wants to Coach his knowledge This may well be his greatest asset for us

Interesting point. You may well be right, but with injuries the way they were, i am glad he stuck it out. i think he will a great coach, why? Because he never shirked a tough game in his prime. He mostly instigated the toughness. Jordan was always proactive We need more of that to win the serious games

This is why Lewis was bought in. So i hope he is speaking his mind (he has no reason not to) he is not the type to speak “puff” news 2020 is all about the mindset, if the list is fit and available.

It depends on if you want to be excellent or just average There is nowhere to hide. Imagine if the AFL had relegation...

Top 4 should be the base objective of our Club each year. That is what it should be... Top 8 out of 18 shouldn’t be a huge hurdle

Harry was well paid for a small output We have had so many of them. Tiresome i am with Moon ? Eyes Forward

Thanks for all the reports Now it all starts again

Swooper Coached a Tough Side. Really tough. We lacked a little Polish and needed a Gun CHF as opposed to a good one. The Reverend Sides had more skill but the roller coaster ? years were infuriating 1990 we shoulda 1998 we shoulda 1988 lucky to make The GF but we did it from 5th, dropped games at critical times. 2000 we were a dam good side, but Essendrug were 10x better all season 2002 we were far too loose in defence, good to watch, but Brisbane would have smashed us up on GF day 2004 was another year we coulda, but we choked after being top of the ladder in Round 18. 5 straight losses.... Leadership is critical, throughout the whole Club, and it has let us down so often

So the Captaincy Role (There should only ever be one) and Onfield Leadership are not important... and the Draft is a complete lottery... Ok right....

Pity it is not against SA or WA The all Stars just doesn’t do it for me. i have donated and will again and again

What a great way to run a Department We excel at pissing off our own supporters in so many ways..

Speaking with my Uncle over the years (he has now passed on) as a Richmond Supporter, he often told me how big and hated The MFC was. Up until 1964 it was the MFC and The Filth followed by everyone else. We had won 6 flags in 10 years and been Runners Up twice. We were hated, make no mistake. Sad to think how far we have fallen, through poor management over 50 + years

It wouldn’t have happened if strong leadership had been running the Club. That’s the point, and it is what still concerns me about last year. How strong is our leadership right now? Big Year this one coming up...

But it wasn’t bad luck that our bad form was in 1965 and onwards. It was shocking management. The signs were there already and the old stale board that pulled the strings did SFA about it. Weak Leadership.

Haven’t seen that for awhile. Awesome ?
