Maybe the change he needed wasn't retiring from footy, he just need to remove the mo.
We should let him know that we are OK with the thought of him trying out to get back into the team.
Hmmm .... Was the moustache a reverse disguise that he wore so that when he retired as a superhero footy player he could slip back into mainstream society and move about un-noticed?
I'm firmly convinced that I won't be as emotional during this season cause we have already had the fairy tale.
I wonder if that will last past the first game. Or the first quarter even.
Life is so unfair. Chemo is bloody awful but it can work - I'm still here thanks to it.
Hold your son and the rest of the he family tight, even amidst this year there will be moments of love, connection and happiness that you can cherish forever.
Each week myself and whoever was taking...
That wasn't the point - we've done Lester's abilities. Short version - are their learnings in Lester's pathway that can be identified and used for future players?
Long - The bit I was focused on was how odd/rare it is for players to be granted a decade to develop their best. And I was...
I'm thinking about Ryan Lester.
Lester was an unassuming player who, by his own admission, played safe for the first chunk of his career, but now is happy to take risks and make mistakes. And is a much better player for it.
Lester's on field performance was great early on but why did it...
The day games used to be problem for us because of kids sports commitments. And I know people with young kids who miss the 7.50pm start games.
Bloody kids.
I have no idea if it's true but i read somewhere on bigfooty that the cheapest essendon permanent seat is $1600.
I chose to believe because it makes me feel better about our $500 price increase
Elite athletes can be delightful, but underneath they are all competitive beasts who would happily ground everyone in their path to the top prize into dust. Collaboration and playing well with friends are learnt skills, but not surprising that they can't lose the edge completely.

My favourites not best since 2010
Ooh ahhh ash mcgrath. So understated.
Daniel Merrit. Fond memories of him standing over opposition players screaming at them.
Rhan hooper. Ran like the wind
Charlie Cameron. How do you move in so many directing at the same time that quickly?
Ryan...
Hmm, let's weigh that up. Go from rising international superstar who will already be fielding 6 or 7 figure sponsorship deals to a sport <1% of the world have even heard of.
Unlikely I'd think.
Gout is simply too good for that. Once he corrects his poor starts .. insane.
There will be a lot of noise from people wanting to ride on his coattail that might distract but there will be a lot of genuine legends who give him and his family support and contacts that will help manage the...
I've just discovered the herald sun podcast sacked. It's awesome.
The 'learnings' across all the stories I've listens to so far is that as great as fagan is the success of the club comes from the board and the highest levels of management.
I hope that future planning in that area is...
Hate to dim his Light, but fagan wasn't the first coach to focus on the positive and learnings.
Nah, what the hell. How dare those losers steal our intellectual property
Sheesh. 😉
To be fair (and I find that very difficult) I hated the hawks and geelong during their eras - just so over them.
We are just as dominant, in men's and women's, so it's possible people are just a wee bit over everything lions.
Well that was bloody wonderful. Well worth the price of admission and then some. Make sure you listen in folks,
We are incredibly lucky to have Dom and Mike bringing us together and widening our fan experiences.
Thank you guys, love your work.
