Should have got 10!

I see today the Sun has gotten together with the AFL and some others to retrospectively award ANZAC medals to the first 5 games (the medal only started in 2000 with Hirdy the inaugural winner). The first one has gone to Sav Rocca for 9 goals in the 95 draw and the rest will be revealed 1 day...

Yes it is. I too am an AFL member with Essendon support and a fee same as a membership is sent to Essendon out of my membership. Then gives me all rights from Essendon as a member off the street.

I think you've missed my point. I admit that Hird has heaps to learn and is why he will be surrounded by good people and mentored. The point I make is that based on what I've seen of him both on the field and off, he is certainly one to take a punt on as I believe he will be a great coach...

Continued improvement for up and coming players like Hardingham, Colyer, Carlisle, Howlett, Melksham equals a better 'best' 22 - yes, but OTHER teams improve, too. Eveyone has "up and coming players", you do realise? You have to improve MORE than them. -Yeah, some do and some go backwards -...

That's interesting, as I would say the same about Newman. I just think TFS works to gutter humour all the time and that's a direct result of Newman and him living in the gutter. Eg., how the hell could a dog bangin' a football win the Almost Footy Legends final??? But, respect your opinion.

Did they move the target to only 1 metre away and put an opponent right next to it. That's how they've been practising for the past 3 years.

Slight side topic here, but I thought Before the Game slaughtered The Footy Show this year. Laughed most of the time at genuinely funny stuff, not the tardy gutter humour that's so prevalent on FS nowadays. Strauchnie was a pisser! What do others think?

The only people with blood on their hands are the idiots who appointed him and who extended his contract. I now applaud anyone who had anything to do with finishing this fiasco.

And who's fault is it we don't even have the basics right after 3 YEARS!!!!!

Now this is only my opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs but I've read all of this thread and I just can't believe things like: Poor Knighta, Injuries affected him, Got us into finals, Deserved 1 more year, Never a chance after Sheeds etc etc. The ONE thing I think everyone is...

Rubbish. Weight that 800k against the lost memberships/sponsorships etc and they have saved us money. After the GROSS negligence shown by the predecessors in putting this dud in AND extending his contract, this board deserves a medal!

This year is worse for all the reasons already expressed but to me, mainly, because although 2006 was a bad year we were still led by someone who had proven again and again that he could rebuild the club (as he had already done several times). Now we're led by a dud who couldn't coach if he's...

Talking about locking the who's going to replace knights thread. Sure there was nothing "constructive" but there was some funny stuff there. Is there nowhere for a bit of humor around here if it's deriding knights? Must we be all serious all the time? Surely at the moment a bit of light...

At the risk of being locked out by the pro-knights club, I'll post this for discussion (I hope). For 27 years I watched us as a stable club coaching wise. Are we destined to now be one of those clubs that hangs on desperately to a failing coach for 5 or 6 years to eventually sack him halfway...

Well, we won't win another game this year, so it depends on those below us.

Doesn't matter! Knights knew the team he was inheriting and told the board his plans. Based on this it was put to us that by 2010 we would be in the 8 and ready to move onto the top 4 and premiership in the next couple of years. Fact is, we've gone backwards WITH KNIGHTS and the team HE KNEW...

Bullshit! Can't keep blaming Sheeds forever. This team is going nowhere and is worse than he ever had it!

I can honestly say that I do not believe I have EVER seen an umpiring performance determine the outcome of a game ..... until yesterday! That was, without a doubt, the WORST umpiring I have ever seen. Not just those ridiculous 50's but the second free to Watts which resulted in another goal...

How? They already are. Already there!

The people in charge of this club have made 3 bad mistakes in last couple of years: 1. Sacked Sheedy, 2. Appointed Knights, 3. Extended Kinights' contract. Time to make amends NOW - don't make it 4 in a row. Get rid of him and look at someone else (eg Choco Williams). ...And before all...

He was pushed out by the idiot in charge. If he played in the goalsquare and kicked 3 a game (66 for the year), that WOULD be a difference. Yeah coz the forward line works SO well!! No they can't Show me where I've said that. Perhaps you should have some semblance of an idea of...

Or you could feel free to point out where I'm wrong and how the future looks any good. Remember, this was the year we were meant to be making the finals in their grand plan.

First we get rid of a 900 goal player so we can "develop" the next breed, then not play him - SMART! Then we recruit another forward on a 3 year deal and ... not play him - more SMART! Good thing we've got a rock solid and brilliant forward line to cover this. Next we institute a game...

Am I misreading this somehow? First you say the rest of the season is winnable, then state that we shouldn't win against 3 teams which is 33% and mention 2 more which, although we have some sort of "wood" over, I think are HIGHLY likely of finally beating us as they've gone ahead 100% more than...

What, are we inventing the first 2 position forward line now? Also, I thought Hurley was brought in for the backline. He's only there coz idiot Knights has no other options. Interesting interview today with Robson on SEN where, amongst lots of other things, he bragged about Bendigo's great...

Nope, sorry disagree. Yes they were the sorts of things that cost us the game but it is Knights game plan that forces the players to play on and constantly look for a handpass or a rushed option that makes them not stop and go for direct shots etc. Best example was the Winderlich pass INSIDE...

Re: Moron coach No, you're the idiot. Perfect example was Stanton toward the end of the quarter took the ball around CHB. Facing our goals with room to kick forward but looked sideways for a handball. None there and the couple of seconds gave Collingwood a chance to close in - lucky he still...

Re: Moron coach "Mate", it's the players playing to the game plan! This guy's got no F'ing idea. Winless season with Bendigo and now we'll be lucky to win another game. Get rid of this clown NOW! He's an embarrassment. Start a collection to pay him out and I'll be the first to contribute.

Re: Moron coach And on the ****ing backline!!!
