Injury prone, yes... overrated?? Definitely not!!

Just like Ebola, MFCSS has started to flare up again. Is it a bridge too far to think that perhaps these players may have expressed a preference (behind closed doors) to get to the Dees if theirown clubs won’t come to the party?

So far you have us landing several players while retaining our pick 3 for use in the draft. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but in the meantime, and unless you can prove your credentials as an 8 post newcomer, then I’m calling BS of the highest order.

I’d say he was a very young child when his father left, judging by this from the article in The Age: “Toby's mother, Kate, released a statement to the Seven Network, saying: "Toby is estranged from his father. His father has battled mental health issues and has had nothing to do with this family for over 20 years".”

Haven’t heard anything, but Brad Green would be my preferred goal kicking coach. He was as close to the perfect kick for goal that this club has had.

I thought he looked like a drinks waiter

Yep, Houli and Edwards led the second half resurgence; some moments of true brilliance.

Are selectors ‘curating’ the team?

Really impressed with Houli after seeing him interviewed by Daisy.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding there rjay... my reply was not directed at you, but rather, it was an extrapolation of what you said.

But we’re equally as screwed if we base our recruiting purely on their last outing as some here would do... I don’t think that one game out of 80 is sampling at its best ?

Upon what do you base your belief? Sauce or ketchup?

My mistake, but the comment stands regarding the PDTs list. And for someone who was complaining about the fact I attacked the poster, you’re doing quite well on that front with the second line of your post, no?

How many on your list were actually given a run at AFL level? How many were injured? How many were first year or rookies? It was a laughable post.

Laughable post. Your forum name clearly is appropriate.

In which case, he should immediately have his Captaincy reinstated!

Well, if Essendon do "resign" him, we should definitely make an offer.

I'd love to see Yze AND Brad Green considered by the club.

I have this gut feeling that AvB may decide to retire.

You might get a few responses if you tempered your post somewhat, rather than trying to bait people by pre-empting what a leftist will consider to be the reason.

You have to understand that you’re dealing with Demonland where what would be normally construed as sarcasm is often deadly serious commentary. They call it the Bizarro effect.

Looking forward to: Whatsaywhat getting his PHD for the above thesis. Convincing myself it’s just a game. Wimbledon and Le Tour. The cricket. Getting behind Miller in the MotoGP and Remy Gardner in the Moto2. Not feeling like I’m missing anything when my band is playing at the same time as the Dees.

Monica...

No way I would like to see Max as the captain or even co-captain. He’s under enough pressure to perform as it is, and the last thing he needs is the added burden of the captaincy. Just let him do his thing and provide inspiration through his onfield performances. After last year I’d have thought it would have to be T-Mac, but his half hearted efforts this year have quashed any thoughts of that... I guess May would have to be considered and even Lever, although he’s one I’d like to see given a bit more time to mature.

Welcome to the 1970's.
