...'"I used Robert as a theme after the game. I played against Robert," Knights said. "I said to my young players, 'If you want an education on how to run out games for four quarters, you will find no better example'.

"That's where our young players - Alwyn (Davey), Ricky (Dyson), Jay Nash, Kyle Reimers, Brent Stanton - those sort of boys, that is what we want them to get to, and I think they will in time. '

......you got to be kidding knights....or living in la la land......

knights is such a bulls*** artist it is really quite funny

its not even the bulls*** jibjab we are used to from matthews, sheedy, williams or malthouse...

it an attempt to promote his club by giving pumping up his young players that really havent shown much (not including last night)

they really aren't that good...

Matthew Knights is one of the very best blokes I've dealt with in footy.

Smart, articulate, clear-thinking and able to pinpoint what he wants from his football side.

He wants his players to learn from the best - in this case, Harvey - and people want to have a crack at him.

It would be astonishing, but this is an internet fan forum I suppose, where one-eyed sorts come to vent their spleen first and think logically second.

disagree entirely...he screams i have no idea when he speaks and disguises this in a calm controlling manner whilst talking up his kids

Obviously posted by another 15 yo with no brains! What a stupid thing to say. What part of Knight's comments do you disagree with? Of course Essendon isn't as good as us. We should have won by 15 goals. So how do you account for that?

wonder if any of the said named players will still be running around at 36 y.o. gathering 29 touches after playing for 20+ seasons..

cant see it happening
