I love this bloke. He has matured so much in the last year.

He is my favorite player the way he runs and rebounds off out of the backline. I think he has alot more to improve and we all know this but he has taken over NLM as a flanker now NLM is struggling to play anywhere.
 
Re: Courtney Dempsey Appreciation Thread

I'll jump onboard here.

I had my doubts early on with his constant injury concerns, now, he'd be one of the first defenders picked. Provides genuine dash from the back 50, and along with Lovett, Davey, Zaka, Winders & Dyson have brought the season from one of mourning when Hilley went down into one of great promise.

Just hope GC keep their grubby mitts to themselves...

Hmmmm so do I.

Essendon are building a great team and the more I watch them they are showing early signs of playing the way Geelong do. I enjoy watching them play their attacking style of football rather than zoning like most other clubs do and kicking around the boundary line.

Why did you, up until a few minutes ago, have Gold Coast as your team supported?

I was about to ask this same thing. What do they do, change their team whenever they make a post on a club board?

Is starting to prove why we have always listed his name (much to opposition supporters ridicule) when we have given our injury excuses the last couple of years.

For various reasons so my mates wouldnt find out who I was on Bigfooty in our own Local league threads. But I have been an Essendon Member for 12 years. Sorry for the wrong idea.
 
Re: Courtney Dempsey Appreciation Thread

Dempseys been great... at times he's been the one to really push through the middle early and set the tone for the rest of the team to follow... exciting player to watch who can also finish off with running goals...always showed signs through injury... just hope he stays fit..
Only negative was the pass he put over Hilles head on Anzac day...
 
Love this guy.. Absolutely one of our most improved & so vital to the way we set up attack from down back.

With a history of injuries & skinny frame I would like to see him bulk up a few KG's of muscle to protect him a bit - but not at the expense of his movement .
 
Wish he was more consistant in Supercoach, but a player of the future no doubt!

Supercoach isnt the greatest indication of a defenders job each week. IMO he stops his bloke each week. Just needed to nail that goal on the weekend in the last qtr

I'm just glad he's finally stringing a few games together and starting to deliver on his potential. I was a big fan of Ted Richards a couple of years back and in a sense it will put things at ease seeing Courtenay continue with his current form.
 
The best thing isn't his speed, it's his courage. The amount of times he backs into packs (every time he does it my heart goes in my mouth, thinking he will get injured) for a man of his size is incredible, does it at least 3 times a match.

I disagree.

Whilst both of those assets are fantastic, I think the thing that makes him stand out is his ability to pick the ball up off the deck or half-volleys, at top pace, without breaking stride.

His cool head and ability to go from contested situation to space, is something I haven't seen at Essendon.
 
piss off, there's only one Lance on this board! :cool:

I'll fight you for it?
