The good old days.
So I'm browsing the bottle shop for some pre-game refreshment and I came across something that made me reminisce about the good old days of the Bay.... West Horsham shit-fights where D-One would regularly self-pwn on a clock-work like basis..... Essendope flogs defending the indefensible... -
Think Tank That's it, I'm going to Fall's Creek!
After that shitful game, I am taking a leaf out of the Melbourne Supporter's play-book. I'm off to Fall's Creek. Well actually, it is a work junket and it is all paid for, and in my line of work there are no such thing as work junkets. Such a good way to blow out some cobwebs in the... -
Analysis Now, what is the pass mark for this year?
At the beginning of the season I had making the 8 as a pass and finishing 6th would have been great, the highest I realistically thought we would achieve. Now it is time to review and re-assess. I guess we can mark down the season as a "pass". But a re-evaluation of goals based on the... -
Strategy Our playing list development strategy for Season 2016
So far we have used 26 players. In comparison Geelong have used 25, with North, St Kilda and Sydney using 26. Hawthorn have used 27. That indicates that we have been fielding a relatively stable team. The positive I see is that Milera and McGovern have debuted and young talent like Atkins... -

Bomber Proclaims His Innocence.
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-supplements-scandal-bomber-thompson-maintains-he-is-innocent-20160323-gnpvj0.html All a bit weak for me. This happened under his nose. Asleep at the wheel? Turned a blind eye? Who knows. This article just irked me.- Mattrox

Think Tank Attention flog welchers.
So driving home I hear an advert for a new app. You Betcha. I haven't checked it out yet but it is supposed to keep track of bets between mates. What if you made a "Bay 13" bet and this app kept track of it? Then there would be no sewerage pipeline of posts about "you welched" ..... No I... -

The Essendon Offseason Diet
After the documented trouble Essendon have had with unidentified substances of Mexican origin, Old El Paso has produced a product to ensure they stay safe. Very nice of them to ensure players will be able to eat Mexican meals without the fear of infraction notices. -
Matt Crouch - 3 votes ..... Magarey Medal count.
Matt got 3 votes in the Bays draw... I'm only sort of watching while pottering around. Who else could poll well for our reserves? -
When are we going to get umpires that can see?
How was Kreuzer's "mark" not a mark. Dead set clanger of a decision. Makes me sick that umpires make clanger decisions but still get to umpire.- Mattrox

Who will be the Bay 13 "hero" from this draft class?
We know the legend that is Seedsman. But who from this coming group of draftees will make the Bay 13 Hall of Fame? My vote is for De Goey. If my french is any good, the direct translation is "The Goo". Go The Goo and the team who drafts him. -

Analysis The state of our Club.
I know there have been threads on the individual players in the Roovolution but I wanted to look at it from a club wide perspective. The sacking of Sando took supporters, media and outsiders by surprise. The immediate reaction by the media was that the AFC was a shambles as they scrambled to... -
Analysis How much does experience in a side really matter when chasing the flag?
As people know, I have been collating this seasons data on age and total games experience fielded by each Club for all rounds up until now. I have done a scatter-plot and linear regression on the data in an attempt to quantify how much experience really matters for a Club to be a flag... -
Roast Contested Possessions
Listening to the Geelong post game interview for round 16. Scott mentions being beaten at the contested ball, then mentions the free kick count skews this. WTF? So everytime the free kick count is lopsided it makes it harder to judge if a team is actually winning the ball at a contest when... -

Review Post draft analysis: The morning after the night before.
Now that we have had the weekend to digest our draft situation I thought it would be good to grade and assess our recruiting results. We have fairly well commented on this. But a poll to see what the general feeling of the outcome is probably useful too. This does not take into account the... -

Spilling Coffee from your mug while walking.
I usually make myself a coffee then have to walk back to my office as the amenities are the other side of my workplace. I usually don't have a lot of time so I make my coffee then walk to the other building where my office is. So usually I have 6/8th of a cup of coffee left by the time I walk...- Mattrox
