    Memo to Anthony Hudson, Brad Johnson and Jason Dunstall

    Perhaps the next time you commentate an Essendon game, you might at least make an effort to be impartial. In preparing for such a match, you might also care to remember that a decent proportion of the audience will be Essendon supporters. Alternatively (and especially you, Johnson), if it's...

    O'Keefe - how many weeks?

    Didn't think this guy was a dirty player, but this incident a minute or two ago was very nasty. Just drove his knees and shins in to Marc Murphy's head in reckless and dangerous fashion. Am surprised Murphy eventually got up.

    Daniel Hannebery - ball butcher

    Couldn't believe the hype surrounding this guy last year when he was awarded the Rising Star (admittedly by default, because of the ludicrous disqualification of Dustin Martin). And this season is only reinforcing it for me. Is it just me, or is this guy a very overrated user of the ball...

    Sam Mitchell - how many weeks?

    For his crude, forceful attack on Stevie J's head late in the first quarter today. Worth weeks? And, if so, how many?

    Hurley - back or forward?

    Just keen to know what others think about this. But it has occurred to me over the past couple of weeks that I'd be happier now seeing Michael Hurley spend much of his time in the backline rather than stay up forward. Especially if we're going to play Hille and/or Ryder as near-permanent...

    Heppell (probably) to miss next week

    Was just listening to Hirdy's post-match press conference, and he said that Dyson Heppell had pulled up very sore after the game. It looks as though he could well miss the match against Gold Coast, especially given the six-day break. (There will probably be about 3 or 4 changes, according to...

    Paul Roos' commentary

    Was it just me, or did this guy seem quite anti-Essendon in his comments on Fox today? He seemed to show precious little enthusiasm for our game, slapped down Healy when he talked up Essendon's prospects this year - and generally seemed far far more interested in talking about St Kilda...

    George Bailey for Aus captain?

    I see there are a lot of the usual suspects on the board nominating White as the next Australian captain. Which leads me to ask what people would think of George Bailey potentially being chosen as captain. I happened to be listening on ABC Radio yesterday when this point was raised...

    "Delusions of adequacy" - you moron, Cometti

    I'm just wondering why no-one else seems to have been as angered as I was about this comment that was made on Ch 7 about one of our players last night. Or was it that I was hearing things? :confused: During the second quarter last night, that well known Essendon-hater Dennis Cometti...

    Is Rann finished?

    So is the full story finally coming out about this? And, if so, what does it mean for Rann? Woman linked to Rann assault says 'there was sex involved' THE woman named as a key figure in the alleged assault on Premier Mike Rann says she has to "come clean" because she is "tired of the lies"...

    Statistical records/profiles for individual umpires

    Guys: I'm looking for a bit of help on some basic AFL umpiring stats. Does anyone know if there's a way of easily finding some sort of database which shows each of the senior AFL games an individual umpire has officiated in? i.e. if I wanted to get a list of every AFL game McBurney had ever...

    Shaun Marsh

    Topscoring for Australia in both of the first two matches of a series against South Africa (and inside the first ten matches of your career) is a reasonable effort by anyone’s standards. In this series so far, he’s made 157 runs at an average of 78.5 and a strike rate of 78.5 at the top of...

    Did the Poms cheat during the 2005 Ashes series?

    No updated finals scores?

    Seems a bit weird that the Supercoach system isn't smart enough to do end-of-match scores for the finals. It's able to work out who will be playing who - so surely something can be done to continue to show the scoring throughout the weekend for teams playing against one another? Or is this...

    Latham's articles in the AFR

    I'm not sure if this has been raised on here before. So sorry if it has. But can anyone tell me when Mark Latham's semi-regular articles appear in the Fin Review? I think they appear every second Thursday, but is this correct?

    The Mal Michael Appreciation Thread

    Is it my imagination, or is this guy getting better and better with every Essendon game? It was always going to be tough on him last year without a decent pre-season, but I thought he was one of our best all season. And now .. with a decent fitness base behind him, look out...

    Michael Long on the ABC on Tuesday night

    2008 Essendon Twenty (One) Question Quiz

    This is a little similar to the twenty questions thread on the main board at http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408526). But I thought I might loosely adapt the concept for us to make it Essendon-specific. Not really sure if I can offer a prize at the end of the season (in...

    Is Adam Crosthwaite the new Greg Dyer?

    Those who watched Test cricket during the 80s should remember what happened to NSW and then Australian 'keeper Greg Dyer - and how his career all but ended the day TV cameras revealed that he'd claimed a 'catch' after a ball had hit the ground. (For those who don't recall the incident, I...

    Cloke to be suspended?

    Just took a look at the tape of today's game again, and can't see how Cloke will escape being cited for his needless attack on Saddington in the third quarter. Reckless, vicious and frankly quite stupid. Maxwell might have a case to answer for hitting Simpson behind the play too - but...

    Clarkson says 'Roos were no good today either
