I really thought reports of us trading Shiel, Lobb and Scully were just more more scuttlebutt with the players contracted and our time being now.
We do get it every year so it seemed like good bet. I was shocked to the core initially.

I'm reconciled though as the club revealed it's position, in general terms. A controlled adjustment this year was preferred to potentially a really bad outcome next year with a lot if players reaching FA or OOC.

Scully and Setterfield in particular I hope recover brilliantly and star for their new clubs. Matthew's said we weren't prepared to shop Scully around, and it had to be their call, but I'm a but uncomfortable trading injured players out nevertheless.

Shiel and Lobb I absolutely harbour no ill will, but they're outstanding players in the their prime, I have no doubt they'll do well.

I had big wraps on Shane Biggs pre-season and thought he could get back to his 2016 form this year.

Boy I was wrong. He lost all interest and is now retired.

I said that Dance Boss would go down in television history alongside other great programs like The Wire and The Office. I got it wrong.

But I have another tip. Channel 7's coverage of the cricket will be world class, polished and subtle, and aimed at an adult audience. Can't wait.

I thought that Vardy should have chosen the short option on the Wing rather than kicking it to Ryan in the play with 2 minutes left in the GF.

I thought that Gaff, Martin, Kelly and De Goey were going to North for $1,000,000+ a year.

I never thought Shiel would come to Essendon for only $300,000 a year.
I confess I was wrong, I thought Essendon would win at least one final in 14 years and out perform Carlton
