Who could blame JOM? He can move to a club, get paid a fortune and belt blokes in the face and never get reported for it!

Pretty sure Billings folks are Essendon Coteries and as for Ross, well we all know where his loyalties/family ties lie.
I wouldn't be so sure about Ross mate.

Right now you can't even be sure where the watsons' allegiance lie after what your club did to the family. Now, kindly and with all.due respect, please **** right off

I for one, am shocked.*




*by shocked, I mean not at all and seems like a few ITKs went a bit early.
I reckon the Dons probably couldn't afford to lose him. They need good news stories not bleeding recent recruits. I wouldn't be surprised if the AFL actually stepped in and helped them negotiate. They seem to be propping the Bombers up in the wake of their destruction.

God this is embarrassing as a neutral.

You guys have spent all week saying "oh we're going to **** the Bombers" and "oh can't wait for the reaction when we get Laverde" and no he re-signs it's all "thank god we pushed the price up" and "**** essendon, he's not even that good"

FOur year old behaviour, you wanted him and didn't get him. No need to take it out on Dons fans.
Don't take everything so seriously mate, it's just the Internet. Most of us couldn't give a **** and we're having fun with bombers supporters.

I highly doubt it, lifelong Essendon fan stays at Essendon. Fair to say we were either totally dicked around by Connors or our ITKs dont know as much as they make out.

Actually, the only player we haven't resigned is Hibberd. You should be in awe of EFC's prowess.

Plus, 16 > 1, so there's that...
OMG, I am so depressed. I have just found out that other sides have won more premierships than us. Never heard that before. So relevant to the current times. We might as well just give up now.

That's a ripper theory. That's getting posted elsewhere. Cheers.

I'm not going to get into a thing about this, being a guest here and everything, but I'm curious as to what you base that on. Given that, my understanding is that there was no significant raise and that he accepted the offer put to him, in line with the likes of Langford
right back at ya, funny how that works lance

At least now we don't have to deal with the stress and stupidity come the actual trade week on the Laverde thread. Them asking for pick 10 and or Billings and saying how bad of a list manager Baines is....Definitely saved a fair few raging posts on that one.

I base it on the information provided to me by a person I trust who has a direct source at the highest levels of the club, who I have no reason to disbelieve
