Simple question - by the end of their respective careers, who do you think will end up having had a "better" Essendon career? I was initially going to write who will have been considered "more valuable", but I believe Goddard's value during the saga is hard to measure, due to his significant...

In the modern game, there are limited ways a team can score. Straight from a centre clearance, or rebounding from half back are two common ones. But when these 2 don't occur, a lot of focus is placed on simply getting the ball deep in your forward line and maintaining the pressure to lock it in...

Guys, I'm 2yrs into a 4yr Arts and Commerce double at Clayton. I'm very interested in doing a semester's exchange overseas, probably England or USA but I'm open to suggestions. I believe it's a fairly long process to apply and be accepted, so I'm thinking Semester 1 of next year (or equivalent...

Was having this discussion with a girl from work yesterday about what you'd like to or hoped to have done in your teenage years. Brought this up because I'm turning 20 tomorrow. Came up with a couple of things, but it mainly just turned out to be a life bucket list or things you should achieve...

Asking for a bit of help here. For those interested, www.pontel.com is having a bit of a sale - any 10 games for $87. Not a ridiculously good deal that you have to jump all over, but cheaper than usual. Anyway for my brother's birthday I'm gonna get him a few Lakers games, and was wondering what...

First up, this is probably more appropriate for the "Employment" Board, but I'll put it here first and see what response it gets. Hey guys, I'm coming to the stage that all Business/Commerce graduates came to at some point - deciding on a major. I'm in my 2nd year at Monash Clayton, and before...

The round one games are gradually being announced. GWS v Sydney Richmond v Carlton Collingwood v Hawthorn Melbourne v Brisbane Fremantle v St. Kilda Who are we predicting round one for us? We do often seem to play Bulldogs early on (see this year) or do we go interstate? Personally, even...

Was just having this discussion with a mate the other day about old school stories (I'm first year uni myself) and we remembered some classics that our teachers did over the years. First one was our maths teacher that we had from years 9-11. He was an absolute genius, but was the definition of...

Simple question, what number do you proudly where on the back of your precious red and black sashed jumper and why? Could be a former player that you just haven't changed, or obviously a current day player. For me, my first jumper as about a 5yr old had the classic #5 on it for Mr. Hird, but...

Hey guys, I'm currently a first year @ Monash Clayton. I was tossing up whether to do an Arts/Education degree or an Arts/Commerce degree. My particular interests are Teaching and Journalism - I am quite good at accounting and the business/numbers side of things, but it doesn't interest me us...

As the title says, make a bold statement about each club. This could be about the present or future, about a person at the club or the club in general. Adelaide - Dangerfield will be the first person to win a brownlow in a team that doesn't make the finals (Note: May have already happened...

Ofcourse we all want our team to win the grand final/don't have a 2nd team yadda yadda yadda. And I know Australians are well known for supporting the underdog and not wanting teams to stay up for too long (eg) Everyone was looking forward to Brisbane going down in the early 00's and noone can...

After todays game, i've had a long, hard look at our list. Not one where i say we need to turn over 18-20 players on the list, it is not time for the panic button just yet, but simply to summarise where i think we are at. I think our future has plenty of strengths, being our key backs, key...

Gonna throw up some names, some are the ones that have been talked about, others are just for suggestion. - Amar'e Stoudemire (Miami) - Ray Allen (Boston) - Lebron James (Cleveland) - Dwayne Wade (Miami) - Chris Bosh (Toronto) - Joe Johnson (Chicago) - Kirk Hinrich (Chicago) - Carlos...

This frustrates me, for reasons unknown, and i want to clarify this. If someone has pick #3 do you classify this as a high draft pick or a low draft pick. I personally classify it as a high draft pick, however i just read a thread on Mitch Thorp and someone said "It's disapointing because he was...

Hawthorn have suggested that they may need a 3rd club involved to get Burgoyne over. If that is the case, what would people think of this: Port gain: Pick 9 + Lovett Hawthorn gain: Shaun Burgoyne Essendon gain: Dowler + McGlynn Port Lose: Burgoyne Hawthorn lose: Pick 9, Dowler, McGlynn...

Three midfielders possibly on the market at the end of this season, if you got to have 1 at your club, who would you choose?

Not 100% confident on the year, may have been 2002, may have been 2004, but think it was '03. Anyway around that time, the grand final footy show had a cartoon on it, and songs made about it based on the songs from 'Grease'. If anyone can remember it, if anyone has a video of it, or if anyone...

As an Essendon supporter, i loved 2000 and the side we had. But i loved it more probably looking back in hindsight, rather than at the time. I remember coming into the finals, i was more nervous than excited, because we deserved that premiership, and it wouldn't feel right if we lost it. I was...

I've been a huge Ricky Dyson fan, and was pretty happy when Knights gave him a 2yr contract. Had he deserved it? Probably not, so in that regard he was probably a bit fortunate to get it, but clearly he is one of Knight's favourites and he wanted to give him every chance. I was always confident...

Yes McVeigh appears to be unlikely to play next Saturday in Sydney. Jarrad that is. Appeared to do a hamstring late in the 4th against North Melbourne yesterday. Looking at Sydney's side, especially with Hall out, there are few genuine threats of star players, and after Goodes, i think McVeigh...

I say Lovett as i feel he is a game breaker. My mate says Davey as he is a better user of the ball. I feel Lovett because he can change a game through his run and skill. I can admit that Davey has absolutely amazing skills and is being utilised to what he does well, but don't think he can be...

Very early to be talking about this, but believe me, this is certainly meant to be a positive thread. Two of my Essendon mates brought this up last week about who won't be at the club next season, and this is a sensational problem to have, we really struggled. With this being a supposedly weaker...

Rate our 3 big marks from last night in order of your favourites: Tom Bellchambers - Big contested mark about 30 out in the 3rd quarter, goes back and drills the goal. Angus Monfries - Huge leap at half forward in the 3rd quarter. He hits Lloyd who goals following this. Paddy Ryder - Massive...

Carn Bulls, give it a real shake boys, coming home strong. Salmons/Hinrich/Rose/Gordon looking very strong, contributions from Miller/Noah/Thomas, especially Thomas. Hopefully we get 7th and give a real shaky Boston a frightful scare, but 6th isn't out of the question, watch out Philly :cool:

This is by no means a troll, but completly opinion based. People are predicting port adelaide to be the big movers of this season, but i really can't see it. I thought they were very poor against our boys, and we simply weren't good enough to take advantage of it. Made some handy money backing...

Watch out for this kid guys. Will only be 17 later this year, but a huge chance to sneak a game in the Vic Country side. Was picked, or was in the squad, for the Stingrays late last year as a 16yr old, and all through junior footy has just been a standout. Not sure if this year will be his year...

I remember watching the 2007 preliminary final of Collingwood and Geelong. That was a sensational game, absolute beauty that really came down to the wire, with 2 victorian clubs, 2 very loyal, strong fan bases and it just lived up to it, an absolute ripper of a game. The following week came out...

Only trick is you have to say something you don't like about the side you support, but can't say what you like about them. Adelaide - Like - Always competitive. Never drop down, always a finals contender, a side to be respected at all times. Dislike - Bock and Goodwin, both great players...

What team do you want to see named for our first NAB cup game. I could be wrong, but i think it's 6 on the bench, and the only ones i'm going to say are unavailable are Winderlich and Prismall. FB: Jarrod Atkinson - Michael Hurley - Tyson Slattery HB: Courtenay Dempsey - Tayte Pears - David...
