Just wondering when we might have our old wallpaper back?

The one fodzilla (I think) made before he disappeared was good too. Might be a nice off season change.

I believe there might be something in the works... :hmm:

Was watching replay of that great game in 2001, when Norf were 12 goals up and we won, and noticed sitting on the bench next to players with headphones on was Dodoro. What was his role at the club back then?

Essendon's recruiting manager since 1998 in Adrian Dodoro still shakes his head when thinking of Michael Barlow.

Amazing how a bit more research can make the difference.
Imagine Brian Lake falling asleep in the middle of an interview with a footy club. No wonder he went for 71.
But kudos to the Dogs for doing the research and finding out the root cause.

Bit early but just wanted to see what you guys think the crowd will be Rnd 1 2018 at Docklands?


Never seen a Crows game in Melbourne sell out, but this would be close wouldn't it?

I’d say about 48k.

 

[radiojake]

I’d say about 48k.

That would be Adelaide's biggest crowd at Docklands if so

It might be slightly ambitious. I’d think at least 45k though, and it could well push higher.

I just thought new season / friday night / essendon with three new recruits and high hopes + traveling crows fans may make this a bit of a 'perfect storm' crowd

I guess we will see

I posted this in his player thread on the history board but it might be a bit buried in there so thought I'd post it here too. I actually really enjoyed reading this interview. Sounds like a good bloke.

This is weird (maybe). I could have sworn he was going to AIS or did I completely imagine that?

Right well that's weird.. wonder what happened.

I also didn't realise that's why he left Essendon. I thought it was just a mutual parting of the ways rather than the result of telling him his role was to be split between him and someone else.

The article says he's doing both it seems.

Beaumaris is an amateur club. Probably more for love than money.

Yeah, exactly. VAFA clubs don't pay money to any player or coach. Never. Nope.

 

[eth-dog]

Well they're allowed to pay coaches.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Well they're allowed to pay coaches.

Fair enough. I was just having a dig at the fact that VAFA players sometimes are paid but they're not allowed to be.
