I thought it was worth creating a thread for this show.
Partially because it pops up sporadically in other threads, and partially to spread the word and potentially attract some new viewers. In my opinion it's still seriously under represented in an era of streaming and over-saturation of most...
As somebody that has decried the sometimes repetitive nature in the “what was the last movie you saw” thread, I thought I should attempt to create a few more standalone threads on films that warrant discussion.
Starting with what could potentially sweep the Oscars, Tár. It really is a...
What examples have you seen of performers playing the same character in multiple films and/or shows?
To be clear I'm not referring to things like Tom Hanks playing mild mannered men or Ricky Gervais playing awkward Brits.
I mean people that have played essentially the same character...
I don't need to go into the specifics here, because I and plenty of others have done so in plenty of other threads.
But I'm no longer simply in favour of voting our unelected Chairman out, I'm hellbent on it.
I have two requests:
1) Essendon supporters only: Would you support him being voted...
Thought it could be interesting if people tallied their votes from the respective MVP threads to do their own mid season Best & Fairest lists.
I think this is a much more accurate way of doing things, as opposed to simply going "ohh, off the top of my head, Carlisle's been awesome. Yeah, him!"...
We're now at the halfway point of our season, so it could be fun to do this.
I'll add the disclaimer to mine that I on average only watch 3 games a week: Essendon, Carlton and a Friday or Saturday night game.
B: A Walker, Carlisle, Birchall
HB: Hibberd, McPharlin, McVeigh
C: Dangerfield...
Thought it might be worthwhile taking a look a few things from the Ziggy report, somewhat unrelated to the entire ASADA investigation.
Ignoring the reasons for the investigation to an extent, I'm a bit excited about what this external review could do for the club.
It seems like most clubs...
This marks the 3rd Annual Essendon Board MVP Award.
In 2011, Brent Stanton edged out skipper Jobe Watson to clinch the inaugural MVP.
In 2012, Jobe Watson put on a clinic and left everybody in his wake.
In 2013, will we see either player make it a double, or will Brendon Goddard take the...
OK so this is just something to pass the time, and somewhat of a measuring contest for the future, I guess.
Most posters on here have their personal favourite players, who they have and do stand by, even through the tough times.
This isn't so much aimed at declarations of blind faith, but to...
We'd just like to take this opportunity to thank Yoda_ for the past couple of years during his time as Mod on here.
He's stepping down to focus on the Drafts & Trading board, but will no doubt stick around as a poster.
Thanks mate.
The nominations are in, now's the time to vote.
Please note that we've had so many nominees, that three (UmpMaggot, yaco55 and Yoda_) couldn't fit into the poll. Please post their names if they are your vote.
One vote per person, votes by non-Essendon board members won't be counted...
As we generally do each year, we're using the drag of the off season to take the time to review our board, and those that make it what it is.
You might've noticed a few guys on other boards with shiny POTY badges:
High Flying Flag
They're to officially show off the winner of each board's...
If anybody comes across spam, or just anything that doesn't belong here, please report it.
That way I'll know about it straight away and can earn my keep.
Thanks.
5) Dempsey - Possibly the game of his career
4) Watson
3) Winderlich
2) Hocking
1) Lovett-Murray
And a special * you to the umpires for stealing victory from us.
This is just me, but we were more deserving of that win.
3 or 4 crucial umpiring decision that all went Adelaide's way incorrectly at either end of the ground cost us, and being two men short didn't help.
Bullshit.

Collingwood FC has been sanctioned $20,000 for breaching the AFL Player Rules after an Investigation by TPP manager Ken Wood.

No stats, and I kinda stopped paying too much attention in that last quarter, so I don't expect these to carry much weight:
5) Carlisle
4) Howlett
3) Dempsey
2) Lonergan
1) Melksham
Had a crack at this for the first time today.
I had our games as:
Freo: W
Bulldogs: W
St Kilda: W
Port: W
Geelong: W
Hawthorn: L
Adelaide: L
North: W
Carlton: W
Richmond: W
Collingwood: L
And came up with this:
I surprised myself a little, particularly with Hawthorn in the four, and...
The players are kicking in, now.
And the club are having a telethon this Saturday night. I kid you not.
