    What a (potential) coach needs to be

    I see Essendon a bit like the San Francisco 49ers during the early 2000s. They had had incredible success the previous two decades and had arguably some of the greatest players ever, delivering them success. Since that time, there has been controversy and yes, failure. They were a losing team...

    Essendon Jumper

    Buddy, there's an element these days on the internet called, the "literal net". http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=literal%20net The analogy is about sticking to something that sounds like its the right thing but you don't move with the times.

    Essendon Jumper

    Part of the essence of any successful culture is both the continuance of its core self but also adapting these to contemporary times. This obstinacy in staying true to a single jumper is, in my opinion, outdated. The club remains Essendon and yes we are identifiable as a red sash on a black...

    Trade/Delistings/List Management 2010 Thread

    Re: Time's up for Neagle+Laycock? Neagle is a wasted talent. He's a far better kick than Gumby.

    Lovett leaving a positive ?

    I think he'll be great for St Kilda. Their imported team-first mentality from Sydney will straighten him out. Arguably, we don't have the same ethos, largely because we're younger and at an earlier stage of rebuilding. A 'harnessed' Lovett, from a team-discipline perspective, will be a sight to...

    Will we improve next year??

    My two cents: The forward line will probably be a weakness. We'll win our fair share of contested football out of the middle. It's just that the options up forward will be minimal. That and the fact that our midfield isn't necessarily loaded with goal-kicking types, I think that our attack will...

    I know you're joking, but... bad form, mate.

    Merged Delistings/Trade thread

    Quite a bit but probably a couple of first round picks.

    How should we handle a delicate situation?

    I can't imagine much upside in the new year or even a Roger Merrett style move up to sunny Queensland. Sorry Scotty.

    Jobe Watson On The Couch

    I actually think he's a very good chance for the B&F.

    Jobe Watson as our next Captain?

    Captains these days don't necessarily have to be the best player around. They tend to be those that can galvanize a group of players towards the aim of winning games. Mitchell and Harley, while very good players in their own right, are two that come to mind. In this context, I think Watson is...

    Do we have the most promising list in the competition?

    Promise as a concept is so double-edged. It's the human equivalent of hope - keeping supporters interested and involved. My point is that as fans, it's important to keep a balanced view and not look too far ahead of where you are. Promise in itself is only ever rewarding and satisfying if...

    Do we have the most promising list in the competition?

    I find it interesting that when we win, threads like this pop up. Our list appears more brilliant and the sun doth shine. When we lose, the tone is the other way. The value of players like Myers get questioned and whether Ryder is really the solution in the ruck. While I agree that there is...

    B&F for Jobe in 2009!

    Whats wrong with Essendons jumper?

    Well, actually... The AFL governs the rules of the size of any logo on a guernsey, front or back. The perception that the logo is larger than it really is can be attributed more to the design and contrast as opposed to physical size.
