Let's face it, you're so soft that you would never be able to keep a promise like that.

FFS, go and follow another club... sick of your petulant posts.

I presume that "we" is referring to the supporters.

Leading up to where... half back line?

Sorry, but I can't help but be amused by the "faux outrage" over Sylvia leaving... particularly considering he was constantly a target of derision in this site and more often than not the suggested delisting/trade option.

Sad sad day, Jim Keays (sorry, title spelling error), a true great, gone... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apX_ikzc5CE

Possibly, but even so, by volunteering that evidence they are in essence digging a deeper hole in which to bury the club itself.

But that would only apply if they have bigger fish to fry... so, to paraphrase ManDee, if it means the club gets a blanket 2 year ban (but the players can look elsewhere after their 6 months or whatever is served), then that's not such a bad outcome.

What, more than not even being selected to play for half the season?

Hey, we're not poking holes... simply enhancing it :-)

It's going to be interesting to see how they respond to this on the park this Sunday.

All issued notices were apparently Essendon players of which it could be as many as 25 current players on their list (at least, I think that's what Robbo said on AFL360).

Fixed it for you

Yes, and that substance is the reason I can't remember the '60's.

I apologise in advance for being a smug bastard and saying I never had a bad word for any of them and stated in the past on these forums that they would all improve over time.

Maybe it's the fact that we are still well in this game at half time, but I'm finding it fairly riveting... a good well contested game, and if McDonald could be a little more accountable (that is, get back to his first quarter form), we will be a better than even chance to take this.

Actually, I think we are being a little unfair to Undeeterred, It was JackVineyForPresident who started the whole "supported dees as a kid" thing.

Yes, and if all of our current players went to the clubs they supported where would we be? Tyson at Richmond, Jones, Dawes, Watts, Salem, JKH, Howe etc... where would they all be?

Loving the effort so far... even McDonald and Terlich are delivering the ball well.

As much as I would love to be there, I am stuck in Sydney and will be there in spirit while watching every second of the game (and hopefully victory celebrations) on Foxtel. I will however most likely be down late July early August... so maybe Hawthorn at the 'G'.

it's actually "auld acquaintance" (scottish I believe)... I think it means we should never forget our old friends/comrades in arms etc.

Leave the song alone, it's fine as it is... besides, if you really wanted to change it, you would need to rewrite it from scratch and to a totally different tune, because it was originally written for a staged musical called George Washington Jnr... http://www.whatsoproudlywehail.org/curriculum/the-american-calendar/youre-a-grand-old-flag

I particularly liked the last line in that article: "ASADA’s new boss Ben McDevitt has said the Essendon case will be finalised in weeks, not months."
