Don’t miss your chance to see all your favourite Bombers battle it out in a knock-out kicking contest at the club's open training session on Monday 25th January, with the last remaining player being crowned Essendon’s SuperBoot.
http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/news.asp?nid=7199
Each player will be paired up with a randomly selected supporter on the day who will act as their man on the mark. The selected supporters will score themselves a free pair of adidas boots signed by their player. The winning SuperBoot’s partner will also take home a Samsung digital camera, a signed Yakult football, and a team-signed Essendon guernsey – all the equipment needed to become the ultimate SuperBoot.

Sounds pretty good if you are chosen.

Thats sounds great, would be wonderful to get picked.

If we had the chance to pick a player, I'd say Myers...
...shame he's injured.

Prissy to win imo

Wouldn't want to accidentally smother the ball.
Well, considering Myers is injured I'd guess Fletch will be odds on to take it. Assuming he competes.

Yeah i'd be putting my money on Fletch.

From the training reports it sounds like Neagle's your best bet.
Dyson :D
In all seriousness... Hurley :rolleyes:

Quinn or Jobe for sure...

Some of the names being thrown out there are pretty funny.
Mark Williams will be the hot favourite. Neagle probably the best chance of an upset.

I am going to go ahead and say Ryder.
Great initiative.
I have Monday morning off so I'll hopefully get across.
I'd back Williams, also.
Anybody else thinking of going?
Oh wait, are we talking about accuracy on goal? Opps. I don't know why but my mind immediately jumped to kicking distance when I read the title (guess some sleep deprivation messed with me). Well, you can definitely count Myers out of that.
Well, in that case I would have Williams and Neagle as the top two. Ryder is OK but like Fletch I wouldn't have him as our top set shot.
Hurley would be a chance too.

Same. I don't know why either.
Between Neagle, Monfries and Williams.
I'm guessing they'll get further and further out, so you would think someone accurate with a big kick.

Fletch for mine...
If it is a tie, then maybe a drop kick off would be a good way to decide the winner...

Sounds like a great idea. Lots of fun for the team and supporters alike. Wish my club had something similar.

Yep. Williams 2nd, Atkinson & Hurley 3rd. Prismall & Jetta close behind them also.

Laycock caught Williams' goal on the line so all Reimers had to do was kick it longer.
Atkinson was kicking pearlers as was Prismall. Jetta got extremely lucky, bounced at right angles to go in, then the next shot missed easily.
Neagle hit the post and Monfries had girls screaming in his ear, so I guess that lets him off.
Bock's first kick was a massive shank and then Carlisle joined in with the shanking after. Funny part was when Richardson said Silverlock (or Howlett or another rookie) was a really good shot at goal, then he kicked it out on the full.

Laycock was only doing laps, MCveigh looked good
Colin D'Cops
25 Jan 2010, 10:12
Yep. Before Jetta kicked a couple of helicopters though, he put them through beautifully. Prismall outstanding. Hurley good, had a bit of wind blowing when it was his last shot but great technique. Williams unlucky, probably should have had another shot each between him & ReimDawg to decide the winner. :D

Haha, unlucky. I ended up grabbing 6 tickets in about the space of 3 minutes as soon as I got there. Still didn't get called out FFS. :p

Ill Sum it up:
Laycock and Myers did some laps, wasnt in the main group
Gumby Looked really Strong along with Hille
Mcveigh is Ripping it Up
Jetta looks considerably better
Davey looks to have worked on his foot skills
IF you want anything else, feel free to ask

No worries.
Looks in ripping nick does Hocking, although his kick a goal was a laugh.

http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww281/footycool/DSC01457.jpgThis one gives you a better appreciation, in my opinion.
Quite a leap, with only Fletcher able to go with him. Even then, the old inspector arms couldn't stop Gumby's reach.
I've just found some TV footage of the reaction of the coaching staff:

I'll give you another report Ant robus. I had 4 of my clan there today, we collected 5 tickets- Red A 7,8 27, 28, 29.
7 and 8 were winners ( Natrat and Slattery,T) and the footy boots are in the mail. We would have collected another pair with Red A9 if it wasn't for the lure of the smell of those free egg and bacon rolls.
Laycock looked good jogging laps.

Can we re-link on BF or is that a no no?
ps: Why would you wear a watch when training? Looks like Fletcher's fist is about to destroy it.

Nope. Don't link, or post quotes or photos from BB unless it's your own work, or you have permission from the poster.
You can't link to other forums anyway, and fogdog kicked up a stink last time someone borrowed (and credited:rolleyes:) a photo.
What Olly did was what we'd suggest you do.

That's a long-standing rule from Chief, not Essendon board policy.

Ok, thanks.
Feel free to delete this convo.
I think we should turn that convo into a sticky thread. tbh.
