"We now have a greater flexibility with the way we have been able to manage our salary cap so that we can be a little more aggressive at the trade and free agency table." - Xavier Campbell, Essendon CEO (10 Sept 2017) "A. M. T. As good as you'll see!!" - Basil Zempilas after Walla goaled...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/127650/default.aspx Well done to the trio. :thumbsu:

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-players-fined-for-ticket-scandal-20111006-1lb8l.html http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-players-fined-for-ticket-scandal-20111006-1lb8l.html Already a thread on the main board but aren't these fines a little excessive?

Not sure if Heppell and Crameri qualify, as they've only played one season, but who else has really come along in leaps and bounds this year? Hardingham and Jetta are the only two that spring to mind.

Round 20, 2009 hEu3byWjbG0 Fighting for a place in the 8 and up against the undefeated Saints. Very much what our next game will be (as the game at Skilled tomorrow is really a foregone conclusion). Would the players take anything out of it or is just wasted exercise given we played a...

http://www.essendonfc.com.au/events/110622_captainslounge.pdf Anyone attend this vs. the Demons? Interested in going although it's fairly pricey. $150 a head. It's a networking event for "young executives". • A vibrant atmosphere • DJ Entertainment • The oppurtunity to hear from past Essendon...

I'm already over the loss, so this thread isn't being created prematurely on emotion. Jetta - Boy I'm glad we held onto him. Continues to grow in stature. Copped a bad knock and he bounced back harder than before. True spirit and character. The only indigenous player who actually was inspired...

Had a few quiet moments today, with the family disappearing to the farm for the long weekend, and with our impending clash against Collingwood on Monday it gave me a cause to reflect on where we are as a club, a team and what our rivalry with Collingwood is built upon. I've always thought our...

Post interesting facts, numbers and observations in this thread as they occur over the year. After Round 3 Ryder: 1st in the AFL for Goal Assists Hurley: 7.6 - seemed a lot more accurate than that! Bellchambers: 8th in the AFL for Hit Outs (despite playing 2 games) Fletcher: Equal 4th in the...

Glancing at the ladder and I don't think I've ever seen a team on 2 wins from 3 and still not be in the eight. So it begs the question, how many wins to confirm 8th place? Also, how many wins for top 4? Top 8: 12/13 wins (or 50 points, as we've had some draws) Top 4: 15 wins (a lot of teams on...

I got the title right this time. :p 5. Watson 4. Hocking 3. Crameri 2. Lonergan 1. Ryder Heppell and Hurley stiff. Big kudos to Tbell and Melky as well.

5. Hurley 4. Heppell 3. Hardingham 2. Watson 1. Stanton edit*: lol sorry, posted the round 3 changes. Yeah meant round 2 votes.

OUT: Myers (what an absolute ****ing passenger) IN: NLM (can play the 3rd tall role down the back and give us an extra harder body at the contacts + needs game time) Zaharakis needs to be put on notice. Might have Monfries replace him. Unsure on this one. Hille for Belly if applicable. Belly...

http://au.askmen.com/sports/fanatic_300/334c_how-to-win-penalty-shootouts.html Saw this on a mate's facebook page. A very good read. Kind of makes you wonder what would've happened had Iniesta not scored that goal in the WC Final.

It's been mentioned across a few threads but I have to admit I'm moved by the amount of support he has received worldwide. Particularly from the Madrid faithful. Hopefully the operation to remove the tumour isn't complicated by anything else. Get well mate.

I like the changes

Poor taste by the Essendon Marketing department. Disguised to honour Essendon Hall of Fame entry as a legend, it's a poor beat up for the club. The equivalent of releasing a DVD entitled "2011 NAB Cup Runners Up". http://www.essendonfc.com.au/club/wine.asp Stick to proper marketing channels...

Often referred to as being bonkers, the martian, the past-his-use-by date coach, etc. During his tenure at Essendon post-2000 he copped a lot of criticism as we know. Recyling players, failing to draft midfielders, and allowing the club in general to slip. However, one thing he's often...

On a Friday or Saturday? 2011 NAB Cup Friday, March 11 COLLINGWOOD v ESSENDON at Etihad Stadium, 7:45pm (AEDT) COLLINGWOOD B: Harry O'Brien, Chris Tarrant, Alan Toovey HB: Brent Macaffer, Ben Reid, Heath Shaw C: John McCarthy, Dane Swan, Sharrod Wellingham HF: Andrew Krakouer, Chris Dawes...

Hosted by Jason Johnson. http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/news.asp?nid=7973 http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/news.asp?nid=7973 Package is $4k. It's just one of this things you gotta do if you find the time and money (of at the present time I have neither) but I'm just wondering whether...

So stemming on from the Best 11 net spend thread, post the values you think the top players in the world would cost. Because I cbf'd finding a list of names, I've borrowed SM9's top 100 draft. (cbf'd changing their clubs if they've moved). Remember, market values not asking prices. Two...

Hats off to the lad on a stellar career.
