So it appears that the Match Review Panel continues to display the ridiculous level of inconsistency that infuriates all supporters. After Dustin Fletcher copped a week for another pathetic tripping call, the blatant hypocrisy continues. - Leigh Montagna gets off with a reprimand following...

David Hille's bump on Goddard Seeing it live, it looked high, late and really bad. The fact that Goddard bounced up after the ball had been relayed down the field means that impact wasn't too severe, but I haven't seen a replay. What are people's thoughts as this is the 3rd time he has...

I was watching the replay on the Round 1 match against Geelong and a line by Dennis Cometti got me thinking; 'He's a wonderful player....hey hey he's a Monfries'. He's used that line a few times over the past couple of years, but what exactly is/could be a Monfries? He is currently playing...

Throughout the history of the game there have been numerous coaching moves and selections which have given a team a surprise advantage over their opponent; often when they are the underdog. At our club under Sheedy we have seen many such moves such as the 1984 'change up' in the 2nd half of...

Thought I'd create this thread for all of us heading over to AAMI for Friday's night game, as a central point for all things: - tickets - membership barcodes - seat locations - accomodation - flights - car pooling - bars - beers I'm sitting in Bay 122 Row Q. I'm heading over with my...

...and you as a leader of the Essendon Football Club pull the boys together before heading to our starting positions for the start of the final quarter. What do you say? Here's my 2 cents worth: "Ok boys, this is our moment. This is what we train, dream and live for. This moment. We are in...

Hey guys if this has already been raised in another thread I apologise in advance. Having been at the game last night, I thought it was worth a thread to discuss the incredible courage of Koschitze. The knock that he copped from Welsh was intense; it's actually amazing that he didn't break...

It's still less than 24 hours after the game and I'm still buzzing around off virtually no sleep. But this win was different to all the rest. - Round 3 over Carlton was a win for emotion and an early season statement - ANZAC Day was a win from the clouds - Round 13 over Carlton was a...

Ok so this sounds a little like Lava Life / Adult Match Maker...but I'll cop that. Having spent my first season 'living' the Essendon experience with many of you on this board, I think it would be great for us to catch up to talk all things Essendon without the following: - Being...

I'll be posting this as part of a thread on the Adelaide board later today, but for those of you who only want to post on the Essendon board I thought I'd put it up here as well. I've kept it objective (not even the use of inclusive language - i.e 'we'). As I mentiond earlier would be great...

The match today was obviously a reality check for a variety of reasons, but I think the key lesson was for the match committee. This isn't a thread about sticking in the boot, but rather pointing out the difficulties in playing our brand of football. We can not afford to carry senior...

ESSENDON B: Bachar Houli, Tayte Pears, Henry Slattery HB: Courtenay Dempsey, Cale Hooker, Adam McPhee C: Ricky Dyson, Brent Stanton, Jason Winderlich HF: Leroy Jetta, Nathan Lovett-Murray, Heath Hocking F: Matthew Lloyd, Jay Neagle, Alwyn Davey Foll: Patrick Ryder, Jobe Watson, Andrew...

There is no arguments that these 4 players are in our best 22 and I want them in our side. That is an indisputable fact. However... I have a few concerns about the prospect of having these 4 players come into the senior side virtually all together over a 1-2 week period. Apart from being in...

Well after 6 weeks of the season we are 3-3 and sitting 10th on the ladder (equal 4th with 8 other teams). So what are the positives of the season so far? The obvious are the incredible wins over Carlton and Collingwood but lets look a little deeper. Here is my list so feel free to discuss...
