Well, being the 4th tier option rather than a Coleman Medalist doesn't hurt either.

A magnanimous approach that also deflects as much attention from us as possible is not only novel, it's something we should have been trying for some time. I'm all for it.

If you divide 1 by 150, it's 0.0066 recurring which is appropriate Enthused to see that we can have a crack and not have a psychotic breakdown when things aren't working, and this is also with some of our blokes having all-time shockers. Decent signs against a unit that could do well this year.

I and many others pointed this out on Sept, and Wilson articulated it last night -- we ask our coaches to coach with one arm tied behind their back. When they say Dodoro is typically "consulted" on match selection I feel like, in light of comments that some of the non-Essendon people who have...

I think you'll find he was actually abducted by Bugs Bunny.

One of two films (alongside the far less successful Blonde) last year where an Australian filmmaker has gleefully demolished American iconography. In the case of Elvis, turning the whole narrative into a Faustian morphine trip from Colonel Tom Parker's POV is truly wild and really one of the...

The exchange from the end of Munich comes to mind: "Did we accomplish anything at all? Every man we killed has been replaced by worse." "Why cut my finger nails? They'll grow back."

Sliding Doors: Still Crazy After All These Years A collection of facts and statistics RE: Darcy Fogarty A collection of facts and statistics RE: Lachie Neale Observations based on stats games that took place in August 2022 Jordan De Goey can play football Kevin Sheedy is a dubious prospect...

Richardson coached for 6 seasons and is, incredibly, their longest serving coach after Jeans. Truly the madhouse of the AFL. We've got nothing on them.

Would be following in his grandfather's footsteps...

Didn't Blight say the same thing about Robert Harvey in the 90s, only to (briefly) coach him in 01?

I think this needs to be looked at scientifically, which is to say that the last North Melbourne coach who didn't win a premiership and went on to coach another side was Malcolm Blight, who is also the last recycled coach to win a premiership without having won one in the immediately preceding...

Upset as many people on the political and moral spectrum as humanly possible in the fewest moves.

That's like bringing the horse into Troy even though you know there are Greeks in it

Nearly had a heretic sizzle up and running though

"This is still better than Arden St"

Holding on to the concept that the club has to charge through a period of peak absurdity to exorcise all of its demons and abjure their belief that VFL practices still hold water, for it to then grow up. One might have hoped that the events of 10 years ago might have helped with that but if you...

He may be attempting to experiment with the idea of holding the players to some kind of standard. It's a bold strategy, Cotton, etc. Will also be interested to see if he can wean us off the time honoured tradition of hobbling all the players with a sledgehammer, Kathy Bates-style, but maybe...

I think he is more than just a straight line, I've seen photos of him that suggest he is at the very least an image of a person, but you could be right.

happy rugbeh league to you and your family

On one hand, yes On the other hand, not only did Essendon provide Brad Scott with the platform required through which to become a premiership player, but also it can be conclusively said, I feel, based on empirical evidence, that Chris Scott learned everything he knows from Harves, and that by...

Better than being on the Brad Scott landline I guess

Yes but unlike this, the championship isn't conclusively won in a single specific game. Also a game limit is a nonsense. What if a player plays one game that is a blinder and that was instrumental in the season? The premiership is won on the day and the fielded team should be enshrined...

This would be like the Byzantine Empire seeing the Fourth Crusade as a stabilising move.

The roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd

Caveat here though is that Hickeys were in separate tenures, like Parkin's at Carlton

I'm all for getting a senior, wiser figure in to guide a younger head coach, but as it's the third time I wonder if the club could consider actually listening to the older coach this time, for novelty's sake at least.
