News Essendon list changes (Update: Neagle and Atkinson delisted)

Re: Essendon list changes

and you don't know me, but it hasn't stopped you making a judgement has it??

i don't care if you think i know jack or not, i'm just calling it how it is, and pointing out that unfortunately i've had to become a bit of an expert in how to manage long term issues with my knees, and how to keep fit without putting undue stress on those knees.

Logic suggests if a bloke of average talent, who doesn't have all the advantages and resources of being a full time footballer can find ways to exercise and keep fit that don't involve putting stress on his knees, then surely an afl player like Rioli who doesn't have to work can swim, kayak, do weights, walk, or whatever else he needs to do....and he didn't.

How much running do you think the average swimmer in the Australian team does?? Mostly it's bugger all, yet none of them are in the condition Rioli was in for most of his career are they????

I loved him as a player, but being honest i have to say was really dissapointed with the fact he rarely kept himself in the condition required to give himself the best chance of being out there and making a contribution, and therefore we all missed out....the club, the supporters, and Rioli.

It's a shame is all......

I agree with this.

His knee problems etc. would've stemmed from his weight so it's a catch 22. He didn't have the dedication necessary to get the best out of himself.

They just added his name. Sneaky. Wonder why he was delisted?

Fair enough 'The House', i just don't believe it's as simple as it'd made out to be with Dean. Hopefullly Cyril comes across at the end of 2011 and the Rioli name can live on!

Could you please expand please? (PM if you prefer)

Re: Essendon list changes

What do you know about Shagga, especially what he's like as a bloke?

Why do you reckon he'd fall out with a bloke who's just been drafted, and why would I be pissed off because of it?

Drinking? Seriously no idea- Margiliani played for Grant's old VFL side yeah as well?

I am literally clueless.

SOOOOOO, ur tellin me that the Essendon Senior Coaching staff has delisted Marcus based on him having some sort of issue with Shagga our VFL affiliate coach??? What did he SHAGGA his mrs or somethin??

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Re: Essendon list changes

Certainly no foul play on Marcus' part.

Re: Essendon list changes

Poor form by Grant they I would deduce. Was a handy player and at worst kept Bendigo competitive.

Could you possibly let us know the whole story/PM it?

EDIT: What happened with Houli and also the contracts with Atkinson and Lonergan?

Re: Essendon list changes

Certainly no foul play on Marcus' part.

So shagga has created a problem with Marcus & Marcus has to suffer the consequences from it twice is what ur saying?? Wouldn't be to happy if that was the circumstances!?
I thought Muscles showed some potential when given the chance!!

Grant is on the senior coaching staff.

Not really disappointed Marcus is going, but am disappointed that some sort of problem between him and Grant has in some way led to him going.

Before this spirals out of contorl with lies and inuendo, if you don't know the facts, don't make statements that aren't true.

Yeah thats what i was gettin at! Never good when any players career goes on the line because of a c*ck fight between either coaches & players or teammates (whether this is the reason or not we prob wont know)

Before this spirals out of contorl with lies and inuendo, if you don't know the facts, don't make statements that aren't true.

EVO to this stage no one has actually made any stories or inuendo & we're not trying to state any facts!
All that has happened is BTG has put forward a situation! We now know the player involved & a meerely asking questions & LOOKING for answers!! Not tryin to unduley sledge or bad name anyone to this point!! Just expressing that a potential situation would be very unfortunate! Cheers
