There's an interesting article in the age today (can't link it with my phone) where rohan connolly suggests part of the * problem is that they have overrated the list and persisted with some when they should be playing the kids. I think that he may have missed the point that bombers are stuck with the list, because as soon as they start delisting, the sooner the lawsuits start. They will be screwed for several more years at least.

I feel a little better now.

I do find it funny the way the medias are discussing the * Titanic in terms of playing list, coaching ability, etc, whilst carefully tiptoeing around the giant, stinking, angry elephant in the room.

Not enough posting of * board quotes. It must be a melt down. :D

I don't have time to do it myself, so if you'd like to provide a civic service then share the sympathy. :D

Haha, must be sore from all those *injections.
The irony is a jab would probably keep him on the park, but picking up the 4th or 5th pick is a better option..

Actually the more I think of it we should be sending all our 30+ 's out for 'surgery' too and get us closer to the top pick Weitering and schasche both look like beauties!

Why would we do that? Everything is fixable, we believe we're still a contender. :rolleyes:

I've had a lot of trouble posting anywhere after Saturday. But there comes a time when you have to realise, for the good of mankind, that one must put aside one's own trials and tribulations and post some *sympathy for *essendon. *they are indeed as I think I read somewhere a year or two ago, in deep shit. So sad.

But for some reason or other I feel a lot better right now. Quite noble really to think of others when your own (football) troubles seem so hard to deal with.

Due to *essendons Sunday St Kilda hiding, we were probably spared a Caro penned piece about Brayshaw out of country while his club is in crisis, all the while ignoring the fact that as chief football writer for the Age, she has just returned from a mid season break herself

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.



Ergo, Caro is above criticism on this thread.
