and what he’s been able to achieve in his first year as head coach. They’ve exceeded expectations and he’s clearly got key players on board

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Jake Stringer has signed a three year deal at Essendon

HMM I reckon that's more of a no one else wanted situation.

 

[footy4ever]

HMM I reckon that's more of a no one else wanted situation.

Agreed, but looks like Ben is able to 'control' him...for now. A bit like Hardwick with Dusty.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

HMM I reckon that's more of a no one else wanted situation.

In the past few years yes, but he's re-captured the form that made him AA in 2015.

I wanted to press 'like' for this post just for Truck's sake. But my phone had a breakdown hissy fit when it realised I was trying to like anything Essendon.

This would have to be your first ever non-Port related post.

Incorrect
I’ve had cracks at Sanders heaps of times

Interesting ......isn't this a vague replication of what a certain Crows Recruiter said ?

That's umm...... Yeah not good.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is Simpson talking about the football department spending reductions?

Will there be outrage?

*Checks to see if it came from AFC* - nope.

Nothing to see here. Play on.

 

[skittlebrew]

Whos going to win Dees vs Dogs? Odds pretty even and I'm doing alright in tipping but i need this.

 

[cleanhands]

It’s was my interpretation, but as for the former recruiter it can be twisted to be used against you

 

[GrommoT]

Interesting ......isn't this a vague replication of what a certain Crows Recruiter said ?

Kind of, but Simmo seems to have avoided making his language colourful ... compare to Rendell:

"I said as a throwaway line, as a ridiculous line, you might find we only recruit players with one white parent if it's not addressed now," Rendell told the Nine Network's Footy Classified. [abc.net.au]


Interesting the article indicates Rendell is talking about a hypothetical situation that might happen with that comment.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

I see Travis Boaks mum has managed to get an exemption to fly to see his 300th yet people can't attend funerals or see dying loved ones. Makes sense.

 

[RoweyThePainter]

G Lyon just said Ken is "a very very successful coach".

Discuss ..

It’s been reversed. Cornes and SEN tried to get her there as “special comments” on the radio broadcast. Public complained (rightly) and Vic govt told them to gagf.

Should have just called in another favour from Hitaf.

They would have been horrendous special comments "oh I'm so nervous" "Trav will always be my little boy"

Would be a step up from Kornes, though.

I think you'll find Hardwick didn't control anybody.

They let them be who they needed to be, but reminded them why they were there, to win premierships.

When you have an agreed understanding or purpose and let your stars be who they need to be, they turn up and win games for you.

. Certainly in the bottom 10% of 300 gamers.

 

[RoweyThePainter]

Would be a step up from Kornes, though.

Someone who has never watched any sport in their life would be a step up.

Havent seen the list but he carried that team for a while. Has been very good. Did he finish 3rd in Brownlow?

I bash Port as much as anyone but he's been a great player.

Would have been happy to have him in our colours

So.....I couldn't see my parents or siblings around Australia for six months last year on account of being in Melbourne and borders being shut...yet a Boak's mum gets a special exemption? And they wonder why people are annoyed by lock-downs and how there are rules for some, and then rules for the rest of us....
