No one wants to go to Essendon. And even if they did no one to sign a contract. The President, Coach and CEO just left. They are not travelling well. And remember McDonald-Tippungwuti. If there is one thing I am confident of at present, it is that Essendon is a less attractive club for players to j...

The thing is, I understand that sometimes things don’t work out for a player at a club. Maybe for whatever reason there has been a falling out between Longy and some of the leadership group and maybe even the coach and list management. Maybe the list management meetings over the last few weeks have...

We were lucky they didn't have to carry him on.

Bad oversight by the lads.

What about Geary ? Has he already been chaired off earlier in the season?

Difference is Geary hadn't announced his retirement before his last game.

Impossible to enjoy this game. We play badly, same-oh same-oh, we play well, why couldn't we do it when it mattered?

Whoops!

We were desperate to look like a "destination club" - whatever the hell that means. So we payed overs. Same way we were happy to pay whatever it took to get Hanners. So we became the perfect destination for any player that wanted a fat paycheck in return for doing f-all.

Is it Brett Rattens fault that Jade and JB are injured? Have you forgotten Alan's record as a coach Did you want Ross getting 30 touches each week and missing 2 out of every 3 targets by foot? If Cho was a good coach we'd have developed a lot more players instead of just having to turn over the lis...

Did Kent NEVER play a decent game of AFL footy? You can't play 100 games of AFL if you are completely shite as some on here suggest. :roll: Can you play 99? if you get to 100 what do you think ? Maths not your strong point. :lol: :lol: What I meant to imply - we oughta have left him on 99 games. He...

I hope they manage to figure out why our player development is so poor. How many players come in great and go backwards. Max, anyone? McCartin even. I mean - wtf?

Omg - that's all that's keeping him out? Exhibit A when this review gets going.

Sounds good to me. What do you think? Caretaker coach by round 10 '23?!

I misread that as "Bytel for Coach". I was about to say - yeah, why not, let's try it!

I would never stop supporting the Saints, but if they re-sign Hannebery I think I will seriously consider keeping my cash in my pocket next season in protest. F#ck them if they double down on this recruiting disaster. I already reached this stage when they re-appointed Ratten. I wasn’t sold on Ratt...

Does this mean the routine he's using is the routine he's practising? Why would anyone practise approaching and kicking the ball that way? Is the problem that on match day he's not doing what he practised? Or is it that he's practising wrong? One or the other, surely.

corky they're saying - but a bad one.

I fear the absence of Battle will hurt.

and now Webster

The kids are all right!

Can someone remind me why we got rid of Peta Searle and installed this amateur? Oh yeah! The same reason we gave Rotten another two years.

Yeah but they didn't have Selwood, Dangerfield , Blicavs & Rohan so IMO that means SFA

er - but they didn't play last week either, did they?

Alan Joyce was a dual premiership coach - sacked not long after his second flag and went to the dogs and was sacked shortly after that! Was he a great coach from 88-92 Then a poor coach from 93-96??? Most premiership coaches were eventually sacked and or had really poor seasons throughout their car...
