Wasn't a big loss.
Our percentage is still good.
Solomon can't get any worse.
We still have a super coach.
Draft picks.
We can now focus solely on the World Cup.
Hille showing a bit in the leadership department, Watson being serviceable as is Lovett-Murray. Anyone have any tips of top draft picks in November?
5 wins or less is all but a reality now!
Aside from Bradley still NOT showing me anything since Melbourne Rd 1 2005, hope as suporters we remain patient with the kids...and lets hope for a more fortunate and competitive 2008/09

You can get $7 on Ausssies being knocked out of the second round.
I think we have Japan and Croatia in the bag n on my successful prediction of last night's result going to penalities, Im plonking $100 clams on that one!

I suggest we fly Stevie G. out here to address the Bombers. Not that anyone could understand his accent, but he is an artist.

Positive : We can categorically state now that Joel Reynolds isnt a full back.
In fact he isnt anything on a footy field.
Maybe he is good at cleaning boots

How INCREDIBLE was his goal in the 90th? the phenomenal thing about it is he does this almost every 2nd/3rd week from that range!
Glad Im a Reds fan!

While there is Dean Solomon, Andrew Welsh, Mark and Jason Johnson and Kepler Bradley running around, I won't be getting stuck into Reynolds.
Remember at the start of the year, Sheedy was saying that players won't be getting cheap games anymore. Well there is 5 players who are. McPhee is getting close to.

How incredible was his whole game. It's just a pity I can't support him now his next game is for England. Gee, I hope they get smashed.

Most of us are used to Sheedy's rhetoric by now.
And to think he said if we didn't offer him another contract he'd coach elsewhere. Jock McHale would be turning in his grave.
Another positive. Sami Hyppia isn't our full forward.
What I would give to have Crouch at FF right now!

Got my clams on France and Henry for top goal scorer at $17 with Sportsbet!

Stand next to him and say that!:cool: His right boot alone would be sufficient as Moorcroft's suitcase!

I know they are massive underachivers but I like Spain at big odds. If they gel they are man for man as good as any team in it. The Frenchy's are too old for me.

Couldn't agree more. With the Solomon, Welsh, Bradley sentiments. I'll be bagging them alot more than Reynolds. These blokes are passengers. Bradley is a spectator. A spectator who can't kick, mark or handball. And don't anyone mention Welsh's possessions or stats as a defence. He gets cheap possessions and uses the ball terribly. Of his possessions he'd be lucky if a third were positive.
Think you are hard on McPhee though. I think he's been good this year.
Only positive I can draw is the form of Jobe.
Looking forward to some decent draft picks, but would much rather pick 2 than pick 1. Cannot handle the thought of a spoon.

Correct.
Can anyone come up with a positive?
No. We lost to a side who was the pre season favourite for the spoon. We are a clear last and we are carrying too many blokes. Not much we can do. Keep trying the kids as they put there hand up. Hope we do well out of the next draft (and no this isnt a push to finish last so we get the 1st pick) and work from there.

Positives - Bryce Gibbs or James Sellar?
Seriously,
We need to officially write the season off and go for the youth. Dyson needs to stay in the side for the rest of the season otherwise he will go the way of a Winderlich and be a fringe player. He needs to go into next season an important player for the club, not still with question markes over his head.
Speaking of Winderlich, him and Reynolds(played in his rightful position) need to be given serious game time so a decision can be made on their futures. Same goes with Jay Nash and Courtney Johns. Get 'em in there and make a decision on them. I know nobody wants to admit to looking forward to getting the cream of the draft but as everyone knows, it is a stellar draft lineup and that along with Monfries,Lovett-Murray,
Watson,Bradley,Stanton,Dyson gives us a good nucleus for the future. Didn't mind Dempsey's short game time today either.
Dyson There we go. There's a positive. Chose to carry the ball and break the pack a few times today. And if you had your rose coloured glasses on he looked a bit like Judd.

Positives: Watson, Dyson
I'm very happy with Jobe this season, would like to see Ricky play the rest of the season.

There is no doubt if Rick gives us what he gave today every week he wont be out of the side.
I'd like to see Dempsey carry on and get more ground time, he has some speed :thumbsu:

Which one is better/more potential? ;) :(

What position(s) do they play and what sort of players are they?

Which one is better/more potential? ;) :(
Well I see them week in week out as they both play senior football for Glenelg. They both played in the Ireland series. Sellar is already 195 cm and has been used up forward for Glenelg. He booted 4 goals on debut in round 1. He is very raw but has the talent and size to be anything ala Riewoldt.
Gibbs is a rare talent with a very mature head on his shoulders. Played league for a large part of 2005 as a 16 year old. He can do it all. Has exceptional skills, can play a stopping role (he shut down Cupido last week). Theres some stuff on last weeks game and a picture of him against Cupido in the below link. As for who is better, I'll wait to see them a bit more this season and our needs as a team will determine who we choose if both were to be available when we have a pick.

Thought Dyson played one if his best games for the club today, winderlich as usual used the ball very well and is improving each week along with the other young players.

Positives, well there are several.
Hillie is a good Ruckman
Watson,Dyson,Windlelich,Monfries,Ryder,Stanton,Lovett Murray are all very good players.
I think we are a little harsh on Walsh and Reynolds.
Bradley can't kick, but Lucus can't handball, and that has never hurt him
sure we are on the ropes, but we at Essendon will return.

Lucas can handball fine, he just doesn't do it much.
