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.

Never mind his efforts in the above clips, let’s just single out one error and crucify the kid.

Three fine examples just above.

Or would we be adding a proven forward who actually goes looking for the ball and is capable of leading to provide a target?

There’s always one.

Who else would have gotten those three goals? He will play himself into form and in the meantime still provide goals, which is more than can be said about others. I’d be more concerned about some of those set shots from the likes of Tom and Trac.

What’s Brad Green up to these days?

So you’re putting the blame on Rohan? Ooookay. I’m sure Rohan was aware of Durdin’s presence, but he should not have to back off as a result. I already agreed that it was an unfortunate accident... I just think it’s ridiculous to lay the blame at Rohan’s feet.

Actually, we wouldn’t have won on Saturday without the 666 rule.

That’s ridiculous... Rohan is intent on stopping the player with the ball; that is what he is rightly focused on. It is the person trying to spoil that has to be aware... in this case it was a fair attempt at a bump and unfortunately their heads clashed. It should not have been a chargeable offence, I agree... but I will never agree that Rohan was somehow at fault for not being aware enough.

I don’t know who first said it, but never a truer word was spoken: “One point’ll get you four!”. At the risk of be accused of accepting mediocrity, I’ll take that win any day of the week. We need to get wins any way we can until a few important players are recovered and available for selection.

It was a very late contact, he jumped into the opponent with his forearm raised and made contact with the head. The case should be about intent, not outcome. He should have got a week.

Of the current bunch, I do like Hudson. He’s a fan of the game who is genuinely excited by what’s going on on the field. His call on Buddy’s 13 goals will be around longer than him... just like Williamson’s call of Jezza’s mark. Williamson’s Football Inquest was a must watch in our household as well.

He didn’t need to... particularly as my post was never directed at Moonshadow.
