Re: Essendon list changes

U SERIOUS?? Do we just hand out B&F's in the VFL?? OH wait more like every other player was in & out of the seniors all year due to injuries etc & he was the only 1 that played nearlly every game!! Ps Skippy won the B&F & couldn't really cut it at the top!!

Gotta love the Quinnmiester.

Oh my god that is funny!

I'm not allowed to say anything, sorry guys.

By my comment, I meant I doubt many of you care that much. You might, but I doubt it. I don't particularly.

Slatts survives!

bye Atkinson

Re: Essendon list changes

It was his last 2 or 3 years that i personally became really, really disappointed in him for NEVER getting himself into the shape required to play consistent afl footy.....his last season or 2 in particular he made Lance Whitnall look like a fitness fenatic.

Had his 100th game gifted to him by Sheedy despite the fact that he didn't put in the work to earn it, with Sheeds saying it was for father son.....although i'm pretty sure he only had 2 daughters at the time so wtf???

Again, loved watching him when he was in the zone, but guys like Peverill, Stanton, Hird, the Johnsons etc who where prepared to bust a gut and sacrifice whatever neccessary to represent the red and black, must have privately questioned his dedication when he was still chunky and getting injuries through lack of conditioning years after being recruited.


Last i saw him play was for Tiwi Islands literally a few months after he retired from afl.......the games where televised on abc and i rekon i saw about 4 with him playing.....

.....looked significantly heavier than his afl days after just 3 or so months off, and was reasonably good in the games i saw....probably on the edge of the best players, without actually being best on ground.

jesus christ, the old work ethic chestnuts It must be nice living in a black n white world huh?

What about the vicious circle of the debilitating knee injury that made it almost impossible to train enough to lose weight, which caused weight that meant it was impossible to fix the knee???

Never mind that, he was just lazy and liked eating turtles

Which club are you affiliated to?

Wang Maggies for me.

no shit??! I played for Wang Maggies. Cheer, cheer the black and the white!!

Re: Essendon list changes

It's always been Wang, but during the recent floods some numb nut tv reporter called it "the Wang"' so now everyone is calling it that

Re: Essendon list changes

WHOMB its not the obvious choice of Bachor Houli is it as i was just on this site that mentioned all the 2011 RD1 details (so its upto date is why i mentioned that) & on there it had who's in & who's out of each team & they had his name down & to this point i didn't know whether we had officially delisted him or if thats goin to be what gets mentioned tomorrow?? Yes/No?

Oh fair enough, just a fraction 2 early (bout 12years) as a couple of my good mates played there in their recent Back 2 Back Granny's a couple of years ago!

[Ben the Gooner]

Re: Essendon list changes

Come on be serious!!

You'll find out tomorrow.

I promised my source I wouldn't spill it.

 

[smooth mover]

Re: Essendon list changes

Ahh, Melbourne boys.

I didn't really know that group that came in.

Nah definately not melb boys!! Think of the league that i mentioned earlier that was better than the O&M & that would open a can of worms!! Bout an hour west of "The Wang"

Re: Essendon list changes

You'll find out tomorrow.

I promised my source I wouldn't spill it.

Well u PM me & i'll spill it

Nah cheers mate I'll go tuck myself in now so i can get up early for the paper!! If its in there!!

Re: Essendon list changes

More to come tomorrow.

If the reason for what I'm hearing is true, I'm not ****ing happy.

(don't PM, I won't answer, at least until it's official)

Atkinson stays on the list and Houli returns.

 

[whats_at_stake]

Re: Essendon list changes

People are confusing me

Why do we need to delist another player? Houli is walking and we are only using 3 picks in the ND.

Unless Houli will stay (please hope this is true as he will be awesome). Doubt it though.

 

[yaco55]

Re: Essendon list changes

Primary listed players unsigned

Houli
Atkinson
Lonergan

Thought that Lonergan resigned for a year, Houli is gone - That leaves Atkinson.

 

[smooth mover]

Re: Essendon list changes

Atkinson stays on the list and Houli returns.

Just an inkling maybe its Myers or has he already re-signed? Someone we took early in a draft that hasn't shown as much promise as we had hoped but most would say is still a required player! I would be disappointed if its him!

 

[Slattery_20]

Re: Essendon list changes

Just an inkling it's probably definitely could maybe be outside chance Hurley. And based on that clearly very, very unlikely scenario, I suggest we all buy horse's heads and dump them @ windy hill.


Or, we could wait til tomorrow.

 

[Crimsons]

Re: Essendon list changes

Ben's not happy ... Must be Slattery.

 

[whats_at_stake]

Re: Essendon list changes

Is this some sort of "in joke" which I have missed?

We have delisted enough players to have 3 picks in the ND + 1 pre-season (Houli leaving). No one else will be delisted (rookies maybe aside).

 

[Crimsons]

Re: Essendon list changes

Just an inkling maybe its Myers or has he already re-signed?

Myers re-signed.

Re: Essendon list changes

My mail is that Bombersno1 is being delisted from Bigfooty.

Please don't get my hopes up like that.
