Fully agree with you on this. Sick of the nonsense being spoken in regards to this. Maybe the dees had the leadership that Adelaide lacked to stand up and say no. we very well might have saved ourselves an Adelaide like unravelling. I recognise those camps were run by different groups but if the squad isnt behind it then very probably something wasn't right. How about we presume the players were actually on to something rather than they were wimps.

My 3 word player analysis V Essendon
Fritsch- left me out.

I could see the logical sense in losing Viney. But in terms of club culture you just cant let someone like him walk away. Its the sort of decision that ends up hurting a club in ways that aren't immediately obvious.

Round 18 - How it will play out..?
I have this strange confidence that things will pan out well for us and we'll not just play finals but win one also. As a follower since 71 Im never confident about the dees so its an unfamiliar and unusual sensation ...could it be a new form of delusion that Im not used to? can it be treated? Dees to finish top 4.

TMac on the Trade Table?

TMac on the Trade Table?
As per ET, thanks siren. I know people often like to jump on people that say they have info but I do appreciate getting it. cant help being a little nostalgic thinking about tmac. he was a genuine star of the comp in 2018. mature body, super fit, confident. I had so much hope for at least 4-5 years of more of it.... and a flag. we seem to have just a terrible record w key forwards. as a kid Dillon was going to be the one. then greg Parke then Warren Dean, Spalding, schwartz , then Hogan . we’ve been genuinely unlucky at that end of the ground most of my life. A series of great ruckman i might add but v few career long key forwards.

Adam Saad
If Tmac were to say " I was injured ( knee and foot) but now im back to my best" how much would this influence things? Then swapping Tmac for Saad is almost a win for the Bombers without 22. Theres a lot to play out in this space .

TMac on the Trade Table?
A late second , early third rounder i’d think ( at best) and we’d agree to cover a fair chunk of his salary too i imagine. BUT it’s posssible that is still worth it if the club thinks he’s not going to get better. Or if he IS genuinely cooked injury wise then come to an arrangement w his salary and retire him. Perhaps keep him on in some coaching capacity to offset that as when he could run he was a fitness beast.

Not sure if it’s been said here. But could be Jack is carrying a serious injury re his foot and u der stands his career will not be a long one. needs to maximise his income.

Welcome to Demonland: Bayley Fritsch
Took a great mark in the last and then slotted it, under immense pressure, in a finals type game. Gotta give the guy a bit of love here too.

Ed Langdon Unsung Hero
He gives out team such a different look. A great recruit. Tough, clean with his hands and gives us run. Like a breath of fresh air.

POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs GWS
Exactly. So many folks want to tar and feather the guy. He has a role for us and as long as he isn’t jumping over may and lever I reckon he’s a keep. how good to wake up today with season alive, the young guns shining and goody so animated on the ground in the last qtr. the club showing they have a heartbeat and a future. now.... just gotta to weid functioning again!

Shorter Qtrs & 28 Rounds in 2021?
thank [censored] for that!

Ruthlessness MFC Style!
Well, at least ONE did. The bulldogs did and had their travel arrangements changed. You may be right re the Essendon game but right at that point no one knew how many times it would be happening in the year . There was the possibility of multiple forfeits which would kill the TV money. That was a losing battle but playing on the same day as flying was a fight we could and should have won.

Ruthlessness MFC Style!
Interesting to me that he said " ruthless as a whole club" When you think that the Bulldogs just had their travel schedule altered so that they don't fly and play on the same day and were " outraged" to be asked ...it made me connect the dots a little. Some yes, but not ALL of this is on Goody and the players. Where the [censored] was the pushback and outrage from our president? There is no WAY the pies, the eagles, Geelong etc etc would have sat back and let that happen. There is no way they would have been asked. That single decision to stay quiet imo sent this season into free fall. The players were sold down the river by a gutless president.

TEAMS: Rd 17 vs GWS
I think Im the last one on this site who still thinks Smith can play an important role. He just had to stop jumping over the top of May and Lever...and then spilling the mark. Personally Im glad they're giving him more games. Come for me on Sunday if he's awful .

Brayshaw Out for Rest of 2020
At least they are straight away on to the front "foot" so to speak. Didnt try to rush him back or push it . WIsh that done that with a few others in our recent past. Smart management form the club but super unlucky for Angus. Look forward to seeing him back in the red and blue.

is that from something u know from jv’s side or yr opinion about him staying?

Yes I hate Gary Buckenara
I don’t hate buckenara, but I have to say it did still hurt after all these to remember that. nowadays Eishold would have a./ run the clock down for 30 secs ( game over) b./ run around on the mark to open the angle ( gameover) or c./passed it backwards to chew up time. That day Still remains my single worst supporting memory ... sitting right next to the best ever memories from the weeks before.

Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
how do u know he wouldn’t choose to stay if goody remained? My own impression was that they had a strong connection, IF , and it’s a big if, he wanted out because of his relationship w goody then that’s a major factor and may change my current stand that i want goody to remain. but i do need to first know more about why jack hasn’t yet re signed.

How the year 2020 can redeem itself
Why would goody agree to move sideways?? and that would be a disaster for the club if he was there but holding no power. Goody imo has to stay with better support. Looking ath the box on game day there appears to be VERY little trust and rapport. That has to be changed.
