fixed contracted for next 2 years

Didn't his predecessor also have an ongoing contract?

 

[BrianSpeaking]

lets not go overboard, he didn't break any contract, and if you want to lay blame, lame blame equally at our Board for
a: not looking after out list better &
b: not signing him earlier

he left but didn't break any contract by doing so

Get over Ross leaving, he was awesome for us.

I try and tell my dad the same thing everyday.

Apparently North Melb showing heaps of interest in Stanton , maybe Bummers are looking for return picks

They love bringing in the downhill skiers don't they?

Waite and Higgins were match winners in 2 finals this year...

 

[gringo2011]

Never heard that but it might explain what happened. Maybe he was also mentally shot after missing out on the rising star and the brownlow through suspension.

Nathan Burke and Brett "Cookie Monster" Cooke tag teamed him and he never got his confidence back.

How good was that tackle in 97?

Why would Carlton want Neil Craig ? I guess anything is possible when you give L. Jones 3 year contract. They make me Laugh

People on the trades board are saying that zac merret is better then billings.

who the ****s zac merret haha

 

[StFly]

Zach Merret from the Dons?

Can't be better when you stress fracture the foot at 19, purer mid at this stage but doesn't hit the scoreboard enough or get involved in scoring chains if it's him. I'd say he's been more consistent, but seems like he's peaked whereas Billings hasn't yet, in any event far too early to judge either.

tell them to let us know when Merrett wins a game for them off his own boot.

Typical injector mentality smfh

Story in Herald Scum today with Daniel Chick talking about his battle with drugs.
Going by the recent pic I think he was addicted to donuts as well.

Is it harder for coach 2 manage players on social drugs or performance enhancing drugs? Or one of the same? Woosha may need PED specialist

 

[L_W_P]

I think Billings will be a gun long term but I would be the first to say that Merrett is going to be a very good player. Providing he stays fit of course.

22.5 touches - 8 contested
3.5 marks
6 tackles
71% DE

Very good numbers for a 2nd year player taken in the late 20's. His numbers stack up with Billings (more tackles but less scoring) and Lewis Taylor (way moe tackles but way less scoring). As an 'inside' leaning wingman I think he shows heaps of promise.

Unfortunate timing if the Bombers are to announce John Worsfold as coach.

[hayes]

The timing of the Daniel Chick article staggers me. Does anybody actually care about what happens on the field anymore or do we all just want bad news stories? WC have come from nowhere to be in a grand final that's what people should be talking about surely, but instead we get this. Get stuffed Daniel.

VIC paper running a slanderous story on a WA team, the week they travel to VIC to play the GF against a VIC team...

AND said paper's head football writer happens to be the biggest Essendon fanboi in the country. A fan who would do anything to link other clubs to any kind of drugs scandal (Geelong/GC and Dank, Bulldogs 'youth' culture etc) in order to deflect from the impending WADA/CAS verdict against his club. A club who, on the same day this story was run, announced that the 'reformed' coach of said drug addled WA team would now be their coach after 2 years out of the game.

Just a coincidence that this story came out today though

And the new coach of Essendon is ???

Have you not heard?

Worsfold was unofficially signed today. Formal announcement to be made next week so as not to interfere with the GF.

And i guess my point was, without spelling it out, the conspiracy theory about linking other teams with drugs isn't a great one, given that it links Essendon AGAIN.
