i think it's far too early to tell with Toumpas, but for mine it is very obvious that Watts is lacking that last 25% that could make him great, and I'm sorry but it is the aggression. I know that there are inside, and outside players, and I know that not every player has to be a rampaging Viney, but there is always that "Watts" moment that costs us somehow; the slip at the in opportune time, being out bodied and worried off it by guys like Bennell and Wells, not chasing a free ball at 100% when there is a 50/50 ball to be one and it's just him and one other. Sometimes they are costly, sometimes they aren't, but until he gets that competitiveness in him he just keeping a seat warm for someone else.

I know, your statement just got me thinking about it, that's all

Who has me on ignore, just out of interest? Somebody quote this post, and if you have me on ignore, just respond with "ignoredee" Should be interesting

if someone could photoshop this crazy idea of a feared sportman onto that pic of Roh Bail (complete with tatts) I think it could potentially be the greatest thing ever..

Oh on the contrary they are fooling thousand upon thousand of sub human scum drug supporters, SPR

Sorry, I'll wait for question time then.

Is Watts part of our future? I've had a feeling for a while now he is just filling a gap until an elite distributer becomes AFL hardened then he's on his way out- feel he's a liability up forward, and down back, didn't want to start a new thread on this and don't want to turn it into a character assassination, just feel unless he finds the want to compete and get the ball, he is on borrowed time..

Simple lack of respect- lack of respect for their team mates, their supporters, their peers, other club's supporters, the competition, sponsors, and a lack of common decency. To hide behind your teammates who were decent and smart enough to not seek illegitimate gains. I hate hate hate this club so much right now, and it is just a thing of beauty and so justified that in T minus some time, they are going to be more irrelevant than any other sporting organisation in the history of sports, worldwide!

Essendrug losses: Their current. Premiership window An (at the time) elite coaching panel Season 2013, 14 (15 &16) Premiership window (13-15 and any chance before 2020?) Potential hundreds of current members Potential thousands of new members Potential hundreds of thousands of sponsor dollars FA recruiting Respect (what little they had) from the rest of the competition Working relationship with competition custodians 100+ year legacy Decade long (at least) tarnished name and reputation Current players/administrators/ supporters mental health. Essendrug gains: Better training recuperation time. Have I missed anything? :)

I was told today I am an ungrateful spoilt consumer, so should probably start appreciating the efforts of others who contribute to my amusement, so thanks for the reports guys I am really encouraged hearing about Petracca's progress. I would be [censored] myself if I was a Saints supporter, we are due one the other way! Thanks guys and I'm glad to see that sanity has prevailed and normal services have resumed on Demonland.

Yeah when you're getting career advise from a guy who shagged his captain's misses and glassed his own, you really need to have a good look at yourself!

Surely you're not suggesting the NAB cup draw was fixed! No way, I won't have it!

That's fine, I'm going to watch it from the start again. Anyway I digress, it would be funny to see other teams boycott their games against that drug taking mob but it will ruin the season. Just introduce a bye and be done with it. Let Essendrug and the television stations deal with the fallout.

Just a little running gag they have. Well you have some very memorable viewing ahead of you my friend, Toph and Princess Azula come in season 2 and it just gets better and better!

Lol that wasn't even a play, I didn't even make that connection.. I just bloody love that animation!

Play Bomberblitz?

Wow poor Tappy.. I'm pretty sure he was aware of the predicament he was in.. Lol how do you say that to someone and avoid awkwardness? Where's the filter lol

My money would be on Ryder, he did seem pretty keen to leave the place.

How is that drunken slob head writer for anything and allowed on TV? I've met hobos with more culture and intelligence. Sad state of affairs

Gotta feel sorry for their first and second year players, all this talk of boycotting would not be boding well for their development and careers. Surely another consequence that will bite them in the butt years down the Track!

Unconfirmed.. Jimbo and Tanya seen lining up outside Wantirna Hill club for 2 for 1 steak Tuesdays

are the umpires still part time? Bloody disgraceful that is!

In other news Hird sets up sausage sizzle outside Bunnings to raise funds for his High Court appeal, whilst Tania is checking out the Dandenong property market. Pride is foolish, and damn costly lol!

It is absolutely BizarroWorld! Essendrug are acting like they have done nothing wrong and are the victims, you have Hird who is on a litigiousness rampage on a hiding to nothing, players continuing to train and participate in club duties in the face of infraction notices, and sections of the media that should be more learned siding with a team that has mounting evidence proving they took banned, performance enhancing drugs in an attempt to gain a competitive edge. There are also Essendrug supporters out there that still think the sun shines out of Hird's arse, and it's only a matter of time until they are vindicated, and their poor, hard-done by team can "move on" from this. When reality sets in and you have 32 Essendon players sitting in the sidelines for 2 years, major sponsors jumping off board and law suits flying left right and centre, we will have normality again, and it will be oh so sweet. This scurge that is Essendon will be a shell of their former arrogant self, and I will be on the front line laughing at their deluded stupid supporters, because I hate them and they have had it coming for a long time.

And they still train, they still expect to participate in the NAB cup.. They really do deserve maximum penalties, their arrogance in the face of the evidence against them is mind-blowing! When are the penalties officially handed down?
