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

Another mid fielder to put minutes into ASAP

Will all be replaced at end of year by Wagner, %wise perhaps.

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

"Pre arranged strategy" could have been the wrong terminology perhaps "divine intervention" more appropriate

To my way of thinking I reckon Weideman going to D's could have been a prearranged strategy in that this bloke has in one stroke alleviated a ton of pressure from himself, his family and the football public. The pressure on this bloke to perform would have been, behind the scenes, extraordinary, and I extend to everyone connected with this decision in football's extended family that he's probably now got a good chance of being a quite successful player in the AFL and with Melbourne.

Why wouldn't there be a film available of today? Surely you would be able to tell if he was fair dinkim or not

You would seriously look at a law suite to stop your kid going to Essendon in any draft.

Jake Niall's excuse article for "nothing to do with flawed system"

Ringside wrestler too.

At the moment we have about 1/6th of Collingwood's team potentially playing for us. With Weideman it would become over a quarter. No such thing as the Demonobbles is there?
