    Footy commentary in the "heyday" versus present

    A lot of commentary inside the footy media bubble these days along the lines of how the game is not the same anymore, it used to be better and the heyday has passed. It's worth watching some old games to not just look at the game style and the big names but also to note the commentary methods...

    What are your Top 5 positive takeaways from the Eagles 2025 campaign?

    I am keen to see what people are taking out of 2025. I must admit I am struggling to take anything more than a few "green shoots" and many of them a based on a small sample size and the prospect of some early draft picks. What am I missing? Should I be looking toward 2026 with more positivity...

    30 second shot for goal time

    I understand the purpose. To allow a player to regain composure and give themselves every opportunity to make their best attempt at goal. My change idea is that this should remain. My change idea is that the kick must have the following result; 1) It is kicked for a score or out on the full...

    Drug policy - what are we being fed here?

    Did Willie get stitched? As I understand he could have had a big night on the Cheech and Chongs, contacted the club doctor, had a test, positive = doctor ticks him out with a hammy, negative = he is right to play. Doctor keeps it all confidential. Nobody at clubland knows anything the wiser...

    Recommitted Cam Zurhaar [Signed until 2029]

    The next North player to be poached from their Academy? 99 games for 24 wins.... Sung the song 11 times in the last 4 years. If 2024 winds up being another underperforming year for the side, does he explore greener pastures?

    Both reportedly around the same money, but which is your preference?

    Has Spike rung Kyle to apologise yet?

    This deserves a thread given his famous SEN rave is day by day unravelling to show him to people a highly unreliable source of anything on the current scandal. “It was clearly stated to us what we were taking. If you didn’t know, you must have been asleep in the meeting which know what...

    There's not enough innuendo in this world

    One of 17 sides is creating and spreading untrue rumor and innuendo about Essendon. I won't confirm who they are or what they said. Am I now guilty of creating rumor and innuendo about 17 clubs?

    How does someone not 'concede' that 1 + 2 = 3?

    1. AOD9604 is a banned substance as clearly stated by WADA and also was so in 2012. 2. Essendon have admitted to player parents (as supported by Jobe's father) that players were given AOD9604 in 2012. = 3. Essendon players were given a banned susbtance in 2012. How does a club sit there...

    Player due diligence... how much is enough?

    Is accepting the word of the coaches/sports scientists running your club enough due diligence when it comes to substance use? Is there no culpability if a player is given a complete list of substances, does not have them verified independently (through their management) and a substance is found...

    Player managers...did they drop the ball on this one? (Part responsible?)

    I can't reconcile where player managers were during the whole "these are the supplements, this is the program, these are WADA approved (we have a letter), sign this consent form" process. Surely at least one player manager would have gone and done some due diligence on the list of substances...

    Being tackled (the wriggle no longer works)

    Players generally attempt to avoid losing control of the football when tackled by lifting their arms above their shoulders before being tackled for an unhindered release to a teammate. Players like Jobe Watson are specialists at it. Our guys don't always appear to initiate the arm raise until...

    Are individuals investigated by ASADA legitimately prohibited from talking publicly?

    I understand from the ASADA website that the ASADA organisation itself is prohibited from disclosing information publicly during an investigation. It is very clear. What I cannot find is any reference to those being investigated having to maintain a public silence throughout the investigation...

    Did Dr Bruce Reid endorse the Essendon program?

    For mine this is one of the key aspects. Medicos with reputations like Reid do not jeopardise this unnecessarily. I don't expect tos to be a massive discussion point but would like this as a thread to keep tabs on a key piece of evidence surrounding the claims. Spike McVeigh originally named...

    Clapping is booing, booing is clapping, what's in a sound?

    Friday night the most audible sound on the TV coverage when Hawkins was stretchered from the ground was loud applause. The Cats coach selectively highlighted a minority of booing idiots as a fair representation of the overall crowd and the media bought it without question. Sunday night the most...

    Free kick allocation - a new perspective (aka Matthew Warnock)

    Copied from the main board for those who may appreciate logical thinking. I have recently completed a "survey" and the results are startling, they really just speak for themselves. The "survey" shows Matthew Warnock has a -18 free kick differential. In today's modern game, where free kicks are...

    Matthew Warnock -18 Free Kick differential, what has he done?

    I have recently completed a "survey" and the results are startling, they really just speak for themselves. The "survey" shows Matthew Warnock has a -18 free kick differential. In today's modern game, where free kicks are meant to be awarded in a fashion that is even for every participant of the...

    Stewart Crameri - GWS target?

    Essendon's best performed forward thus far this season is an upgraded 2nd year rookie who could easily be lured to fill a HFF next year without compromising too much of the massive GWS salary cap. (I don't imagine the Bombers would be keen on paying much more than $250k per year given they have...

    At least two. What a corrupt crock the MRP is.
