lol, I also doubt Sandilands has won many games for Freo this year as they've only won 2.

The hitouts to advantage is a fair point but I think this has more to do with Freos midfielders - they are just too static at the stoppages.

I've been given a bit of a clip around the ears for some of the things I've said about Sandilands... but I may just have a problem with him... I don't know.

The reason the midfielders are static around him is because he can't hit a moving target with his taps. Time and time again, you see the ball being put behind them. His awareness is shizenhouse, and that stops him from moving up from a good ruckman to an elite one.

It's also a very small point that we win more clearances when he's not in the ruck.
 

So Chops has been carded at BF so you have to resort to ASF for your footy talk....lol

Hahahahaa... this is correct. :

Although I've been talking to the mods via the report post function. It's kind of like a glory hole. I'm sure they'll close that loophole.

Bloody pathetic reason mind you.

Love the mods here.

And, how do I know you?
 
Toot bloody Toot...................... the boys are impressive. the future looks very very good!
cheers PC

Hille should be interchange ruckman behind Cox when All-Australian team named shortly.

And Remiers!!! This kid has got the "IT" factor. So confident, brash and arrogant....but with the game to back it up.

Just to repeat myself - these two were AGAIN up with our best today.

I must admit I think I sold Hille short being backup ruckman - he is looking like starting All Australian. You can keep your Sandilands!!

Great win today. Collingwood are kidding themselves if they think they will feature in the finals this year if they bring that rubbish to the table.

One complaint still. Imagine how good Essendon would be if we had a half decent backup ruckman!!! Essendon with Charman and Hille in the same side would be at least 3 places higher than the one fielding Laycock and Hille (however I did say earlier in the year that I would give Laycock the year to show us what he's got).

My only disappintment today being that I am currently leading my office footy picking comp and decided to "hold" my lead and play safe and thereby pick the Pies.

Great game Watson, Welsh, Monfries, Reimers, Lloyd, Hille and as always well played Fletch.
 
Are there any Rugby League clubs in Essendon. A friends kid is moving down there and he doesn't want his son to play AFL.

LMAO!!! There is one Rugby League club in Melbourne that I know of .......they are called Storm.

What a wonderful father - by forcing his kid to play Rugby League in Melbourne he is really opening all sorts of doors for him. I'm sure he will quickly find his feet and feel at home!!
 

This kids father is quite homophobic and I think thats the reason he doesn't want his son to play AFL in Essendon.

lol whats that got to do with playing AFL?

Wouldn't have thought any more gay guys play AFL then NRL?

In fact the NRL have had an openly gay guy (Roberts) play at the top level - very good player he was too. Whereas I can't think of 1 top AFL player being openly gay (could be wrong though).

Also NRL had a player who used to stick his thumb up players dates on the field.

And this guys worried about his son playing AFL?
 

Yes I agree there shouldn't be any more gays playing AFL than ARL. I rang him to sound him out on his reasons.

A major theme was the shorts they wear in AFL remind him of pictures from the gay Mardi Gras.

Then again he is homophobic, and he is worried about his son.

On population figures between 10 and 25% of AFL and ARL players should be gay. Perhaps more.

Are Essendon more gay or non gay than the average? I'll let him know your answer.

lol, they do have Matty Lloyd playing for them:

Also the shorts are nowhere near as tight any more

I'll let him know that when he finishes watching his latest Kylie Minogue DVD. Last time I rang him he told me not to f***ing disturb him for another 2 hrs. He does worry about this kid going to Melbourne though.

Hi Nomores

As a side issue - have you seen Mrs Lloyd? I'd say Matty is doing alright just quietly!!

As a matter of fact Garpal, get your mate to tune into Brownlow night and let him see who the red blooded males are!!! Sounds like your mate is a closet homosexual!!! (Me thinks he doth protest too much).

What's going on with the Hawks Nomores? You are still 2nd in line for the flag behind the Cats. But the rest of the field is catching up.

Cheers
Duckman
 

lol, was waiting for your reply

Don't worry about the Hawks, we played alright on Friday night against the mighty Cats - probably should have won the game in the end.
But I'm not sure we're ready to win a flag yet, we need at least 1 more big defender and are still lacking that extra poise under pressure when its needed the most - our kicking was terrible on Friday night.
Big game this Friday night now - against the Magpies who will be fired up after the hiding you blokes gave them.

As for the rest of the field, a few of them let some chances to consolidate in the top 8 slip pretty badly on the weekend.

You must be pretty happy with your boys atm, especially considering the injuries you've got.
Hille is killing the pig atm, on fire, just need a back up for him. Laycock is a joke, he must be the laziest footballer in the AFL.
 

Yes - the Hawks were far from disgraced on Friday. This Friday will be another test. Pressure off Collingwood to a certain extent. Hawks on paper should put them away but Collingwood have been playing better these days when it is "'backs against the walls" stuff. Of the games I've watched of Hawks, I am loving the way Roughhead plays - he could kick straighter but he's a big, strong brute.

You make a good point about Essendons injuries and outs - we won that game without Lovatt, Davey, Gumbleton, McVeigh, Houili, Dempsey and Neagle. That's not a bad backup group to come back into the side.

Cheers

LOL, no real benefit for us, unless some cash went under the table..so maybe...

How many of our best 18 did we have out? 12 of them I think...

The fitness/conditioning crew should be sacked. That's not bad luck IMO.

Any good signs for the Dons?
 

Yes there were some very good signs. 4 players out of the side retired after Sunday's game.

We also got some game time into some rookies. Hooker, Bellchambers, Hocking, Williams, Magin. If they had played 15 games between them I would be surprised.

Still no one likes to end the season on a 100 point hiding.

I only heard the call on the radio and it allowed for an interesting perspective....... I don't know how Bellchambers played but I heard "King wins the tap....., King knocks it to advantage....., King down to Hayes....., King too strong...."

So now that the season is over....who do we need in the draft? A CHF, CHB, midfielder, FF or Ruck? I'd be disappointed if we went for Kerr. It would have been nice to actuall see Gumbleton play a bit this year.
