The only thing relevant is 2012 and the future, not sure why Essendon supporters like to bring up our past 30 years?
Where is Essendon at?

It's nice as a fallback, i'll admit that. But yeah this is about the future.
And in regards to Dempsey, his season has been a brilliant comeback, his best season yet after a knee reco doesn't happen often. But yes he needs a big rocket in regards to discipline

Hurley may have had his issues but Riewoldt had a shit load of surgeries over the pre-season, and worst of all they were all issues that specifically inhibited all his strong points such as his contested marking and leap.
Hurley STILL has an injury that inhibits his marking in general. And that's not even mentioning the bung foot he had and his hammy injuries that he's had to deal with this year. He hasn't really had a fair run at it.

Anyone with Rance in the back half shouldn't make such comments. Pears will be fine, he's had a horror run of injuries including a bruised pancreas where he lost an insane amount of weight, broken arm (of which he played the game out) and a severe foot injury similar to Matthew Egan. He's had an ordinary year but the continuity of playing most of the year will serve him well, particularly if he can get a full pre-season under his belt.
Now go back under your bridge.

I am loving everyone's analysis of our list as well. The fact is, at the start of the year we were flying - and a number of these players that everyone is hanging shit on were flying - what does that mean? How is it possible?? An aberration? An accident?? How could we have good form and then horribly bad form??? How on earth could we have dropped off so incredibly?? Could it have anything to do with all the hammies?
Yes.
And before everyone makes those stupid lists of players that their team had out on certain days, there is more to it than that. The lack of team continuity and psychological effect are arguably as damaging as the players missing through injury.
The fact that these injuries were little niggly 3-4 weekers meant that the players were playing with a different team every week. Unlike a big long term injury where a player is replaced and a position is filled, it meant that there was no continuity and it meant that structures and drills that had been trained could not run as smoothly as they once did. And this happened almost every single game. That kind of business kills confidence and it is clear in the Bombers that their confidence is shot. It makes you wonder whether fear of these injuries that everyone seems to be getting is holding back their attack on the ball because something is holding it back. If that is the case, see another severe drop in intensity next year if these injuries start to creep in again.

"Faster THAN a bullet", and "faster LIKE a bullet" don't mean the same thing..... and neither imply what you want it to

Still one more round of the season to go, and if results go the way they should we will end up on top of Essendon on the ladder with a superior percentage.
Anyway neither of us will make the finals so it's really irrelevant, bring on 2013.

Noticeable protrusions of fatness in the torso and, then, a lack of ability/ desire to run lots.
And to the bloke who is claiming that the Essendon players were psyched our by the number of hammies, you run with that
Broken bones would be bad luck. This many soft tissues? Horrendously bad management
Not fair?
Bad luck?
Gee, not as if all these were caused by a witch's spell or something. Your club failed to prepare properly and has suffered the consequences. If you continue thinking its just bad luck, nothing will change. Which would be fine by me

Oh please, Jobe looks like the fattest person on our team when you see him in one our jumpers. That's what our jumpers are, they're skin tight. It doesn't make them fat.
Ability to run out games does not make them fat.
Anything else?

Zaharakis poster above already agreed.
Not sure if it's a player discipline/diet/laziness issue or one which is just body type
I am saying you have more players that look fat. That may be a reason why you have disintegrated. Essendon clearly needs to cut back on the protein shakes and expend a little more sweat over summer
And, black is a slimming color/ shade
Reckon it might be bulk from The Weapon's program which has made them "stronger over the ball", but unable to run out of sight on a dark night.
I think that's probably right Ron.
Weapon trying to mould players in his own image?
Would certainly fit with his God complex
They do look awfully slow. Glacial, really
Check out his gut!!
Again, it's how you finish the year, not how you start
Unless you can comprehend that, expect more of the same meltdown seen in 2012
