General Bombers Talk Questions and discussions that don't warrant a thread

[Doss]

This bloke puts up full replays of most of the different footy shows. Great for people who don't have the time or access to such shows. Be warned. He is a bloody booloose supporter, so there can be a heap of junk uploaded as well.

Just want to quote this for the new page.

I've merged it into here because I felt it was going to get lost as a thread in its own right- it had almost slipped off the front page already, and it would be a shame if people missed it, because the link you have posted is a good resource.

Thanks, Sillylittlebugga.

Hi guys, apologies if this has been covered already.

I'm trying to work out if I'm actually going to be able to go to a home game at Etihad with my flexi membership this season.
With almost the whole top level looking like it's for reserved seat members, what is the go here?

I'm supposed to use my membership for a discounted reserved seat but will this be possible, even against Gold Coast, GWS, Port etc?

At the moment it seems like all I can access is reserved seating at the MCG level 1 behind the goals....

My understanding is that there is no general admission at any Essendon home games at Etihad- even those against GWS and co.

You would definitely be able to use your flexi to upgrade to a reserved seat, though. Of course, that would be easier to do for the game against GWS and co.

It'd be best to ring the club.

When do they usually announce if they are having an open training session or not?

Hope they come to Perth at least a day before the game (worked last time!) and have a bit of a run around on Subi again..

They often leave it until last minute, funnily enough.

Might be worth contacting the club on Twitter, if only to put a little pressure on.

Yeah I have 2 flexi memberships, it just means itis cheaper for us to buy tickets to the games. for me with concession its only $15.

They are flying out at 1pm today (thursday) and will most likely do a training session in W.A later today.

The very fist time I watched AFL of the Essendon game with James hird as the captain about 10 years ago when I was a oversee student who was a girl never interested in with some sports. After this game, I absolutely fall in love with the AFL and Essendon club with the true sports spirit. In that game, Watching James hird performance in the field, I saw a athlete who wasn't just with muscles, but also with intelligence. From him, I see the true Aussie spirit that not only have the warm heart, but also with opened mind it.

Now I am in thousand mile away from Australia, every football season, I am trying stream the matches to watch game. Today Essendon extraordinary victory by showing the world of true passion of sports, My tears busted from my eyes that is the first time in my life by watching the sports, i am so emotional about it.

What i can say , just have the faith that I only want to say at the moment.

Almost certain I just saw big Belly at Sydney airport...was a little unexpected!

 

[Shane Mead]

THis may be a silly question, but which end will the Essendon Cheer Squad be seated...it is an away game

 

[bomberman12]

[Tigersman]

Sorry to intrude. I can't find a SC or dream team thread on your board so I thought I'd ask here. With Ryder out is Hille a lock to play?

Cheers

But to answer your question no. Hille was sore last week and didn't play VFL. Gumby is more likely to come in.

I facebooked the club about this in the pre-season, regarding the fluro yellow ones and they said they'd be coming into the bombershop later this year, maybe take them up on it again though, i want one.

guys,

I'm buying a mate an essendon jumper (might even get myself one as well), just wondering how tight they fit, the last time i bought one they weren't nearly as tight fitting as they are now.

Do they fit true to size? should I go one up?

Not sure. From personal experience about average.

Just a heads up - in the thread in the drug forum questioning the removal of Jobe's brownlow, don't use the term 'bitchmond'. Apparently that is the only thing wrong with that whole damn thread.

 

[Tassieboy]

But the trolls are just giving measured analysis such as: Drug cheat because he took peptides. Disgrace of a man?' Amirite?

You got it right! Casting aspersions is fine. Calling another team a name - not on!

 

[bomberswarm2]

Unrelated topic - How do you mention people?

 

[Kong]

Let me know what quarter (and around what time if possible) and I'll get it done soonish.

You may need your own thread

Could you please do:

- Hooker's side gather and side step in traffic [3rd quarter, with approx. 5:50 left]
- Jobe's goal and celebration [4th quarter, approx. 15 mins left]

IS there a list somewhere of the contract status of the players?

Indeed there is- in this sticky thread.
