the Melb thing is a total beat up. But if Trenners gets nicked he gets nicked. Melb is a big case of someone else, a very guilty someone else shouting"Look over there" !! Different ppl in charge of us now, people better place and able to fend away the jackals.

of course they have...one might add a couple of non club butts to that list Id suggest

thanks all Havent go to a training since last( this season ) but it all makes for interesting reading It would seem at long last we are being taught how to play footy, smart footy, AFL level smart footy halelujah!!

you dont win you're dogmeat

A snide or sarcastic remark or something in a Lewis Caroll story

NRL axe poised to fall on Cronulla Sharks as NRL doping investigation reaches crucial day hmm wonder who's next ??

who ever does question the gods ??

yep concerned or excited,,, I'll wait

fancy betting on the GG's when ive got a perfectly fine Bridge Leasing-tolling opportunity for the astute investor

seldom does Old

only the Vla bit maye ..as in Vlad !!! lol Demetriou has been desperate to avoid court....he can try and dodge bullets all he likes but theres still one with his name on it out there. I fail to see how AD can be totally innocent in all this murkiness. It needs to be tested in open court

There is indeed a weapon and its aimed squarely at the AFL Dean Robinson's legal action against Essendon could put heat on AFL executives This is far from over

we certainly can ( and need to btw)

I havent

pretty much the case here too Old.. a few years had cash flowing...well backwards i reckon...lol As a bunch though we do stick pretty fat with this club. one day !!!

Im going a little left field. We sort of know what the likes of Hogan , Clark and some others have to offer. Im simply expecting them to do mainly what they are capable of. if I have to choose only three as some form of litmus: Viv Michie Highly respected at his last club he I think may emerge as a very solid steadying mid with a hint of dare-to- do flair. I dont think he'll be alone but am intrigues to see how he goes. Jack Watts So much said and expected of Jackie but maybe a move into the middle is that panacea and the wick for lighting up his game. I've lauded him, I've maligned him but he has the elements to make an incredible impact if he can muster them together. Here's hoping. Jeremy Howe Had a lot placed on his shoulders in 13 and this stiffled his natural game a far bit I feel. With more in support up forward he might be the 'pizaz' we all clammer lots of others to choose from...

why...must be so hard keeping tabs on it all, must be very easy to mislay a million here, couple there....whole truckloads somewhere else..

LIKE A lot of elements about how you effectively play this game were missing from efforts of recent times.. These hopefully will return. The game despite many protests really isn't that hard. It is about individual contests and the proper execution of skills as put by GOTO. If players progress the ball to another team mate in an effective and timely manner instead of continually offering it up to a contest you will fare better. If you have the confidence to follow up the ball and indeed make another option , you will fare better. If you do YOUR job and not rely on others doing theirs , you will fare better. I've noticed in vision of training now that the style of contest has changed. I even saw some silly bugger shepherding, what was he thinking The direction taken out of a contest seems cleaner ( and less likely to end up in another contest ). These are all the so called basic skills. These are the building blocks of playing footy. Unlike basket ball and to a much lesser extent that round ball game footy being played on such a vast field with so many participants make it nigh on impossible to execute so called game plans. Too many thing happen to necessitate on the spot revisions. Empowering the players with better skillsets and the confidence to use them together with sound strategies of play is what its about. This is what I believe is currently happening. Game plan...probably as simple as , don't let the bastards get the ball , if they do get it off them, don't let same said aforementioned bastards pass the ball , if they attempt , spoil. If we have ball pass to a better option not feed into hamstrung contests. You can only hope to play to a set routine at ball ups and a kickin. Hopefully a lot of work IS going into these. We're deplorable to date.

In many respects yes, interesting and a good argument. However the notion of hypocrisy seeps in whereby he motions his argument that this is a withchunt of Hird as to deflect attention away from the League. His description of the leagues values and corruption are I think quite valid. He seems to ignore the massive ego(s) involved and a predisposition of this club to view itself as too big to acede to those rules that the little clubs must. An interesting piece yes, consistent no. Itsd put to us you cant have both aspects playing out together..i.e its either the AFL being naughty and having its own cemented dementors OR Hird, Essendon etc being bad...but not both. This is false ...it is both and thats the whole point....and indeed irony

smacks of this for sure

New EFC motto In Hird we rust

My first and only reaction for some reason ( with apologies to RV ) Para bailar Lu Mumba Para bailar Lu Mumba Se necessita una poca de gracia Una poca de gracia Para mi, para ti, ay arriba, ay arriba Ay, arriba arriba Por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere

yep, theyre contempt for the rule of their masters and arrogance in the face of penalty is amazing. Cant wait tor the infractions their egos will explode

especially if there were to be a clean out of the 'bridge' also
