A lot of pleasant surprises this year really and more next year....

These umps last night apparently were the cream of the crop, so what was going on.They went a bit slack on deliberate outs too.Sydney were given a raw deal last night as well by the umpires. And from now on because "Frees" statistics lie and cloud the issue of who gets a good run and who doesn't, i'm going to be like the rest of the media and ignore them.

If he's got a bit of mongrel about him the bears should have put him in the ruck against Watts!

Wasn't this the bloke who was being touted as one of our more favored Draft Picks by some on this forum in the 2015 National draft. Obviously we all knew nothing about him then, but.......

Boyd and Patton both Backline Players. Don't like attention. Stands out like dogs.

His body language going for marks this season has stepped up in confidence and intensity..

Just a slight permeation of AFL bespoke "umps if Brissie are close enough for a sniff at any stage in the game give them a little fillip" yesterday.They weren't!!! Can imagine "The Girlie Man" talk at AFL Headquarters this morning. "Blah Blah Blah but they weren't even close enough anyway".

On a more sour note I'm thinking that there is a lot more water to go under the bridge with Hogan, and his overall value to MFC, and it is all about joining the dots. I have no inside information other than just the way things are proceeding.

The unrepresented percentage stated would NOT prefer that you said nothing. I for one appreciate most people's points of view.

Amazing how nice people are when they know you're leaving.

Another mid fielder to put minutes into ASAP

Misunderstanding here re my previous first post I was talking about Freo.

On another tack to do with Jessie, we should all be very thrilled at the way he is moving around the ground. The mental impact of this alone would make so many players walk tall that I am afraid to think of what this would be like further down the track.

The irony here is of course the Coach, the game plan and the personnel. Decisions on these have to be made ASAP,long-term and before other negotiations even start. Especially if they want committed, smart players, who employ intelligent agents/managers.

Very symbolic of the way we have been treated in the past, by media and opposition alike, and very symbolic of the way we are and will be from now on.

Freo probably on of the biggest D scenes in W.A. Just saying.

He will, if he goes, be playing under a different coach to the one that is currently at Freo at the moment, in my opinion. They had better start moving soon. I concur with Sue as well. "So much" to read at the moment. Richmond, I would think, are looking at what is going on at Freo with a reasonable amount of interest at the moment.

You mean gorilla dressed up as a bloke.

And the Media will be saying "that will shut them up for a while and stop saying truths about us all the time". But it will not shut me up you bunch of uni rejects,

This opinion did not just fall from the sky as did neither i. It does precede the Essendon shambles and by the same, ran concurrently with it. All over the several years that I have participated on the forum we have been an unwarranted punch bag in a sea of punch-able bags whether it be about issues like team selection, coach selection or recruit; jumpers or lack of courage. there are many and I have no time for them (the media, disillusion be thy name). I wish I was still back in M sometimes amongst it. Heaven knows we tolerate their lies in lots of other general issues, but we don't nor shouldn't have to HERE even if we aren't a top team.

Exactly, and as well the bloody media maggots denigrate anything Melbourne does because they hate our guts and that is totally reciprocated.

In my younger days I'd be probably licking it so it didn't go to waste.

It's all about the sniff of a game, knowing that you think you're better than the older, more experienced blokes already in the team but never quite getting the opportunity to prove it so you try and do it at a pleasant Sunday morning. Not a good result! A good coach will just keep giving you the scent.....

I am having trouble putting four names together ESSENDON.....PLAYERS......GAME.....and KIDS The AFL has forgotten the last two obviously and we should not or else they will.

Any chance Melksham in the box this year, or is that a no no. Would be extremely valuable against "those who should not be named" etc
