Ahh ...the Stanton thing again

You know, it’s stuff like that made me cancel my bf account and not visit this board for over a year.

Think it’s time again. This time for good.


See ya.

That's a loss.

 

[citizen-erased]

Just realised he could have been playing in a GF next week. Wonder how he would feel.

Welcome to the club.
Signed BJ.

That defending at the end is something ive not seen an Essendon side do for a long time

He needs to take a leaf from Wanganeen's book.

 

[Lore]

Wearing Goddard’s old number too.......

He will probably have plenty of hands on head moments during his career with us, whilst wondering what might have been.

 

[DapperJong]

What’s wrong with you people

 

[Vindicater]

What’s wrong with you people

They are sooks

 

[Shane Heard]

That's a loss.

Still lurking...I’ll just stay outta the DS talk I think

 

[Doss]

What’s wrong with you people

I can only conclude people just like wallowing in misery sometimes.

Doubt it, he’d probably have turned it over enough for Collingwood to have won. See there’s always a silver lining.

I am having trouble with this one

 

[Lore]

I am having trouble with this one

Eh someone made a comment earlier in the thread comparing him to Goddard, both of them having joined Essendon on the understanding that the grass is greener here.

 

[Mikevk123]

Must be kicking himself

Ah. I mean saints didn’t do much after he left

 

[Ambrosia]

He's got the big body for it but nothing else. Lacks awareness, can't find the pill and when he does his disposal is horrible.

Think need to cut him some slack coming off an ACL. Pre injury he looked a beautiful user of the ball at AFL level.

Not sure Shiel left with the expectation we’d be better than GWS on field.

I don't think the Saints were exactly envious of Goddard's experiences after he joined us though Anyway if you want to argue that point you'd be better served arguing it with whoever brought it up earlier. I was being somewhat facetious bringing up jumper numbers... correlation ≠ causation etc.

my comment was a bit tongue in cheek too.....a bit its offseason. the time for seriousness is over.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Like a morgue in here.

He's probably ecstatic for his mates, and happy for them beating the Collingwood flogs

Exactly

 

[RearNaked]

Considering he shat himself against west coast he shouldn’t be too cross

 

[The Donners]

What he needs is guys willing to block and provide protection so that the likes of he and Merrett can do their thing. Pushing him to the outside would really waste his abilities.

This is head on nail.

 

[JayJ20]

I highly doubt he came to us from GWS of all teams expecting to win a premiership...

This. He came from a 7th placed team who won a final to an 11th placed team who hadn't won a final in 14 years at the time. He knew what he was doing.
