Non-Lions discussion 2022

[morsie]

I'm scared in turning into that relative. One of the many joys of getting old.

It's your right to be that guy.Dont be scared,embrace it.

 

[Warwick]

I actually don’t think it’s the worst thing in the world for North.

JHF will cost a decent package and they need quality all over the field. They move on a player who clearly doesn’t want to be there.

 

[Nathan Barley]

We had similar with Schache and recovered pretty well

 

[Surly Boy]

We had similar with Schache and recovered pretty well

Tom Boyd from GWS is closer to this one I would think.

 

[JasRulz63]

We had similar with Schache and recovered pretty well

They need draft/trade period like we did in 2017 when we lost Schache to reset. Brought in Hodge and Cameron via trade, and then Rayner, Bailey, Starcevich and Payne via the draft.

 

[KissKiss]

Still pretty shocking for a number 1 pick to want to leave after one year. Couldnt even see out his rookie contract (although it maybe helps North get a better deal) and had shocking attitude issues all year. Just glad its not us this time

 

[DevRoboGun]

One could say we disposed of a list clogger

 

[Sausages]

Whenever I think about the problems facing North, I reflect on our experience......

At least we could recall glory days of premierships....

For North, doing that leads directly to Carey v Stevens, Round 6 2003

 

[CarterS]

So, the guy who was in charge of Essendon’s review is now the CEO…

Also the guy who resigned as NAB CEO following the banking royal commission

 

[AFLQLD]

Now whispers around Taryn Thomas maybe asking for a trade. Might not happen but confirms that North can’t take a trick. Cursed or something.

 

[Warwick]

What are St Kilda doing this trade period? Most other clubs seem to be wheeling and dealing behind the scenes, whereas there doesn’t seem to be anything (other than a failed attempt at De Goey) coming from the Saints.

Such an uninspiring, vanilla list.

I’ve probably jinxed it now and they’ve been plotting to get Hugh or something..

Cap trouble I think.

 

[JasRulz63]

Melbourne looking at Lachie Hunter. It feels like they're doing everything except improving their biggest weakness: their forwards. Long may it continue.

 

[BangyBangy]

Cap trouble I think.

With that list?? As BT would say, wowweeee

is about to finish outside the top 20 of essendon's bnf

he must be gettable as a fa next year for the right team

 

[trikster]

Also the guy who resigned as NAB CEO following the banking royal commission

"Andrew Thorburn is chairman of the City on a Hill church that preaches against gay sex and abortion." Essendon ...... seriously ..... I wonder in particular what their AFLW team are thinking about him

Essendon broadens church by nabbing former banker

New Essendon chief executive Andrew Thorburn also holds a senior role at a church that preaches against gay sex and abortion.

Bloke seems to have an affinity for dodgy operations. Should fit right in at Essington.

There must be an error on their leaderboard. There’s no way he is outside the top 21 vote getters in that team.

thought that but they posted 2 leaderboards where he wasnt on it so assumed it was correct

ended up equal 10th with 2 other players if the final count they posted is accurate

They appeared excited about offloading Hill's salary to Clarko until the report nuked it.

Statement on behalf of Dave Barham

The Board of the Essendon Football Club has accepted the resignation of Andrew Thorburn as CEO.

www.essendonfc.com.au

One day in the role, must have applied a very through process to hire this guy; poor Brad.

 

[Hollow Knight]

hahaha omg. Essendon….

 

[Saucery]

If like a good laugh at Essendon's expense listen to this, at least the last 5 mins. It's a total train wreck.

 

[AFLQLD]

hahaha omg. Essendon….

Quintessential Essendon summed up with that appointment and fallout. The place is littered with “powerbrokers” who all seem to be the worst people in the world yet they just keep diving back into that pool again and again!
