    Coach Harding joins EFC as Opposition Strategy coach

    No, not Warren Gamaliel Harding, although I'm sure we're all going to make that mistake a lot in future! Rob Harding, formerly of the Crows. http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/2016-10-24/harding-joins-bombers Presumably this is the Petyr Baelish of the competition and his basic plan is as...

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XI

    Manic moves and drowsy dreams, living in the middle between the two extremes You can predict that the Showdown is unpredictable, except when it isn't Sacking people is not fun (LN: Surely sacking one such as Leppitsch would be fun? Rangas are awful, low energy opium fiends on the whole)...

    Coaching Staff Senior Coach: John Worsfold - Thank you John

    As Glenn Ridge might have offered in the past. Today we have facilitated breaking an 118 year old record for our opposition, historically the worst club in the whole competition, in a game that was meant in part to commemorate the 50th anniversary of our 1965 premiership win. As a result we can...

    News Breaking new ground: Bombers in debt

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-09-24/dons-go-into-debt First time ever, which I guess is quite extraordinary on the other hand. Sad day on the other.

    News Coleman: Essendon's High-Flying Legend

    Dunno if the club's done any sort of announcement on this, but it's popped up at the Bomber shop. (Here) I don't typically go in for sports bios, but am certainly making an exception here.

    Oppo Camp The Non-Essendon Thread VIII

    The non-Essendon thread. For, believe it or not, topics that do not pertain to Essendon. Hence the non-confusing "General Bombers Talk" label. Part I: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/the-non-essendon-thread.805579/ Part II...

    Tom Fields - rookied by Caaaarlton

    Eventual Premiership Player exports

    Just wondering if there's an index (silly question!) of clubs of origin for premiership players, with ones who had already won a premiership at their old club being noted. Can name about 6 from Essendon off the top of my head, which doesn't seem like a whole heap.

    The Final Story - 1990

    Just watched this on ye olde IQ. Another very well put together doco, and obviously a very painful day for our club. There are a few things in there that are interesting, the WCE/Coll draw stuffing us up is well known, and my father can vividly remember the fumbly, shambolic training session...

    Mark McVeigh Retires

    The ticker on 360 was saying that McVeigh has retired. No official announcement from the club would tend to indicate that was actually meant for tomorrow as part of the advertising for The Hangar. It'll surprise no one of course, but I guess we wait and see until tomorrow.

    Sydney's semi-fadeouts

    I'm surprised that more attention hasn't been paid to the fact that Sydney on the weekend basically lapsed for a 10+ minute period in which the game went from being comfortably in their corner to being a tight contest once more. And not for the first time this year. Rd 2 vs Fremantle: 7ms into...
