Pav, all class. Gun footballer and a gentleman. Deserved a flag, but a huge career. Humble champion and will be missed by the game...

Classy by the Dogs too, showing great respect for the champ. Bob Murphy in particular, making his way over to Pav for an embrace and to pay tribute...

can't quite buy into the huge plaudits for pavlich - not sure why - some players just don't make that connection with me - could play a bit

Any player who is named as an All Australian at Full Back, Full Forward, CHF and as a utility midfielder on the bench over his career is a fair player.

Know what's hilarious?

*Essendon supporters keep on bragging about how they beat us, reminding us of their missing senior players, yet this year we have had more wins than their team last year when they had those players playing!

I am here to educate, so don't shoot the messenger! You won more games than we did last season because of two reasons: Your soft draw, and our injuries.
In 2015 we had injuries to most of our midfield: Watson played 11 games, Colyer 11, Hocking 5, Myers 2, Zaharakis 16 but was obviously playing injured in a few games too. We also didn't have Leuenberger, Parish, Tippa etc. and Fantasia hadn't got going yet with only 5 games played.

Missing from our best 22/25 players from Saturday's game: Watson, Heppell, Hooker, Hurley, Baguley, Fantasia, Colyer, Stanton, Myers, Hocking, and out comes kommer, mckernan, long, dempsey, j.merrett, ambrose, bird, mckenna *dea kelly.

I hope this helps.

No it doesn't help, sounds like you are making excuses. The Injury Gods have not exactly been benevolent with our club for over a decade.

You don't get to count the suspended drug cheats as missing players this year, they are not on your list, therefore not available for selection. If you get to count players no longer on your list, we are missing Betts, Kennedy, Robinson, Hampson, Grigg, Laidler, Garlett, Bell, Waite etc. from our potential best 22/25. We were also missing Murphy, both Curnows, Byrne, Walker, Jamison .... you get the picture.

You know what...

I don't share the same level of hatred for Essendon that most Carlton supporters do. Probably because I'm so hateful of Richmond, there's very little hate left for anybody else. BUT....

What a load of shit you just posted ! injuries is your excuse for your poor year in 2015??? Do the words "systematic doping" mean anything to you?

You cheat, you get caught, you lie about EVERYTHING, you're a shit side and then you come in here to make cry baby excuses for it all....

"Educate"???? Educate us on what??? How to be a shameful, embarrassing, disgrace???? No thanks, we're all good.

His post highlights what how poor the educators in this country are.
1 Soft draw. We didn't actually win any of our return games so it wouldn't have mattered who we played twice as we still would have won 7 games.
2 Injuries -Everyone gets injuries. It's part of the game so stop sooking. Otherwise we might confuse you with a Collingwood supporter talking up what might have been.

Back to teacher training for you, you sorry excuse for an educator.

Everything is coming up spoons of the wooden variety.

Fair point, let's forget about the players that are suspended for a minute. We beat you comfortably with a team consisting of players like Kommer, Dempsey and top ups. My condolences.
 
So the druggies get JOM and pick 1? So rewarded for a wodden spoon? What a disgrace.

That was the thing about Pavlich - did what was asked of him by different coaches circumstances etc as had a bag of qualities : big body big skills big mental strength it is just a shame the ,,Freo system has been so flawed for so long.

And still finished with the wooden spoon. This will always be remembered as James Hird's legacy to his club. Thank goodness everyone stood by Hird.
