Patrick Smith

[Slattery_20]

This column's football birthright was Essendon, one legacy that is now entering a fourth generation.
..
So it is time to follow Richmond. An old Bomber, Damien Hardwick, is coach and he appears a man prepared to stand firmly by his beliefs. The club, too, has adopted a philosophy of excellence in everything. It has set itself a daunting standard and will trip up from time to time. But if it is not wilful but a mis-calculation then it loses no ground.

Good luck Tigers. We will be watching with interest. And respect.

No longer our problem.
Following the beacon of excellence that is Richmond FC.

Thank ****, personally.

Just remember kids: Brad Miller, Bachar, Tom Hislop, etc aren't shabby, borderline journeymen who wouldn't get a look-in at a top 8 club.
They are EXCELLENCE.
Just remember, 5-17 record isn't the same old shit.
That is EXCELLENCE.
Just remember, keeping Cus and Simmonds on into their 30s wasn't trying to cushion the blow.
That was (ruthless) EXCELLENCE.

He's always been a whinger, now he's where he belongs.

I couldn't give a flying **** what that tub of baconnaise thinks about Essendon. I feel dirty that he claims he did support the Bombers - waddle your ass on out mate, not welcome here.

I'm going to file this under 'Not a problem' Bye Patrick.

 

[stugots]

lol, listening to the twat on sen now - good riddance you turncoat muppet

 

[Kong]

Good riddance.

Take Robbo with ya too, please.

 

[Pweter]

Fare thee well FatPrick Smith... actually, nah, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Good riddance. A stain on the fabric of the Essendon FC has been removed.

All-star coaching panel, record membership, a young team improving and in good form was good enough for me. But you now add to that we get rid of a tosser from our supporter base.

This year gets better and better.

Now Richmond have taken Sheedy (went & worked with them after getting the arse), Patrick Smith, Tristan Cartledge, Hislop, and Bachar Houli off us in the last 5 years.

I don't think we can stand much more of this.

Are Richmond the new freo?

Are Richmond the new freo?

Not until we gain players the likes of Lloyd and Lucas out of our dealings with them.

Good to see Richmond are giving it a red hot go though.

The Australian newspaper (one of the least popular newspapers with readers in the entire nation, no surprise) now have two of the biggest anti-Essendon knobs working for them - Patrick Smith and how could we forget Greg Denham. They wouldn't get work anywhere else, that's for sure, so they'll just have to keep writing rubbish opinion pieces that get a daily national audience of about six people and then go on SEN and promote their own self-importance and values, not to mention how evil the administration at Essendon is for having the guts to implement much needed change.

Fatprick is still spewing that we got rid of Sheedy back in 2007. If we had his way he would still be coaching us. I actually briefly thought he had passed away due to his illness because he hasn't been on radio for months, but no... the rest of us weren't that fortunate.

Enjoy Richmond, you massive ******* knob and all their EXCELLENCE. It will make it even sweeter when we smash the basketcases again this year.

Beverley Knight "steps down" from the board, Patrick Smith no longer follows Essendon.

What's wrong Patrick, struggling to write articles without your "source" leaking you information?

Posted as much in reply to his article.

Not expecting it to get published, though.

 

[ManWithNoName]

The manner in which administrations go about their business should be more important than success on the field

Oh. My. God.

 

[DapperDon]

Richmond board seem happy with this, how long until after the first article do we give them until they turn?

 

[GuzzLG]

What a moron. Nobody starts following a club because of the manner of the decisions of their administration, so why should you stop following a club for that reason?

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

 

[windyhill]

Any chance of mark "robbo" robinson following ?

 

[Smokin]

LMAO, so I assume his current employer, News Ltd, has never acted shamelessly, non respectfully or mis-represented anything hey?

Go follow the clowns that spit on, then eat their own then.

If only he would find something mis-represented by SEN, then he could leave them too and leave us all in peace.

 

[Smokin]

You have to respect a man that sticks to his values

So I can take it he will resign from his job at news then?

I find the biggest w***er$ on this planet are those which have values when they suit, then suddenly forget about them when its not convenient.

Its all about fatprick.

 

[Slattery_20]

I like how he "backed" his belief that Sheedy should be sacked.
By immediately flipping his views 180° on the day he was sacked.

FLOG.

 

[ManWithNoName]

So Patrick, the money we had to spend holding that stupid EGM caused by you and your idiotic "Save Essendon" mates. Will you be sending that in cash or cheque?
