To be fair I’m an awful judge of character on historically bad teams so…. And 10% think Essendon could get the spoon or close to it.

So I think it’s just some preseason madness.
A weird part of me wouldn't mind if we really did bottom out and get another top 3 or 4 draft pick. So self-destructive. There must be a name for that kind of thinking.

To be fair wanting a low finish also makes sense because success leads to expectations, disappointment = unfulfilled expectations

So you can’t be disappointed if you have no expectations and it has the added bonus of a high draft pick and a good chance at an AA player.

But also Essendon we’re a pretty good team last year when they weren’t turning the ball over coming out of HB (Which they gave up something like 100 points per game off turnovers those last 2 games vs GWS and the Pies)

Top 5 most of the year until injuries, and lack of depth ended their chances. Now with more depth, more size and more high end talent. There’s a chance everything starts to click together and they have a very good year

So I’m thinking about spending extra on a membership for guaranteed grand final tickets…. I don’t think it’s likely but also 5% think it’s possible and I wouldn’t want to miss out

Frankly, he shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere after this.

It's absolute bullshit that he gets to sit down on his hands for well over a year now after this match ban from seniors footy, still get paid and when the season is over he can hop over to a bigger club that will fork out more money for him and he can play his best footy there for the rest of his days meanwhile North, who has invested into this guy well before he was even drafted, practically did everything to nurture his inborn talent for footy to give him the best possible run at it, is the only one really getting screwed here since the initial Polec trade was so bad and its been flashes of what could have been on games where we were getting belted season after season and now we've finally steered the ship into somewhat of a stable footing with a decent prospective list... He's gone.

It's bullshit. Its the height of modern sports bullshit. The players don't suffer in these cases, they still get paid and walk out the other side of controversy relatively scot-free, it's the clubs that invested in them that get all the punishment and zero kickback for it, the best you get is a MAYBE good replacement. A guarantee vs. a gamble.

Poor Norf are the real victims here. Came out of no where, no prior warning Thomas was a POS.

I know that this is why it's called the 'delusional' pearlers thread, but I just dont known how he has come to the view of Thomas winning out of this.

He will be missing $90k minimum in match payments and as he is OOC what club (other than Norf) is actually going to want that guy in their building. Career just about dusted...
