Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly..!!
In his dreams. The Essendope tactic is to be a complete dick in negotiations, give nothing, demand everything and then wait for the other side to crack. Worked a treat with Carlisle, didn't it? I think their well-deserved reputation for being the worst club to deal with will surely start to bite. Sheedy used to delight in stuffing opposition clubs around. The tradition continues. People have long memories, especially in an industry as incestuous as the AFL.
"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Listen, an argument isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says, it's a series of statements designed to support a particular conclusion."
"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."
Essendon are the most arrogant club at this time of year. They will really struggle to land all 3 players they want being right royal tightarses. I would love it if another club swoops in late and steals one of these guys. I don't know where Essendon get it from....it must be the 80's big 4 arrogance and superiority mentality in play again. When was the last time they won a final?
A club like Hawthorn on the other hand are great to deal with at this time of year.
Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and the St Kilda FC

It all started with Sheedy, ps. Absolute prick, who delighted in changing his mind, making false promises etc.. I'll be surprised if they get all three.

And while I'm at it, they have Rob Kerr (Derr was his nickname when he worked at the PA ) as their footy chief. I hope he does as good a job at the dopers as he did as list manager at Brisbane. Lost player after player and rode that list to the bottom. They're still recovering. Here's doping, I mean hoping he works his peculiar brand of magic at the bummers.

Should ring alarm bells already, shouldn't it? And what 'strategy' would that be? An off-the-books 'strategy' perhaps?
Interesting that Nick Bowden (I think) published an article on afl.com.au about the Dons woeful trading history, how much they need to trade in experienced talent, and how they need to reverse the trend of agents and clubs encouraging players to look elsewhere as a result. It would be absolute gold to see their 'strategies' of the past 20 years completely unravel on them to keep the club middling for decades.

Yep, an absolute prick. that was my opinion after talking to him a couple of times.
