My main reason with that was last year I got stuck in to him quite a bit, I don't like it, I do love him as an Essendon player but he was past it 3 years ago. This year I'm not going to bang on about himDD, that’s one brutal slap down.
I’m not going to rip on him all year…
Right up there with:
Don’t take this personally but…
I’m not a racist but…
Not offence but…
Nope. Fair play I reckon.DD, that’s one brutal slap down.

Haha I noticed that too. Surely Montgomery wasn't that ordinary and there was no talent around the country that we had to keep him.He was the outlet all night because the Swans refused to send a man near him. They know the following disposal is either long down the line or an inboard floating turnover.
felt more like a pity signing more than anything. needs a bit more cash before he retires imoHaha I noticed that too. Surely Montgomery wasn't that ordinary and there was no talent around the country that we had to keep him.
Couldn’t we just keep him around the club in a mascot type of role or young player mentor and pay him his playing salary rather than showing the league that he’s a lock for our best 22 (and the embarrassment that goes with it?)felt more like a pity signing more than anything. needs a bit more cash before he retires imo
What does he offer defensively and offensively? Surely we could have found a competitive guy similar to Kelly with running power and size. We have enough defenders who don't defend.felt more like a pity signing more than anything. needs a bit more cash before he retires imo
He’s in the team for his manic, ruthless win-at-all costs mindset and extensive finals-winning experience to impart to the younger players, of courseWhat does he offer defensively and offensively?

Okay, qualify that. Who do you think was worse?Heppell was very far from our worst, by this thread you would think he was though.
good question. Lav wasn't great, although I'm not sure worse than Hep?Okay, qualify that. Who do you think was worse?
I'm not really too upset we lost Massimo because he doesn't defend, which leaves us with the same issue.
Yet now we are playing Martin in a role where he doesn’t defend and also heppell in the back 6. So 2 guys who can’t defendI'm not really too upset we lost Massimo because he doesn't defend, which leaves us with the same issue.
Which defeats the purpose of not playing D'Ambrosio last year.Yet now we are playing Martin in a role where he doesn’t defend and also heppell in the back 6. So 2 guys who can’t defend![]()
Yeh the whole situation has infuriated me, almost like we are trying to get heppell to 250 games at this point.Which defeats the purpose of not playing D'Ambrosio last year.
I want Martin to go back to the wing once Kelly, Redman, Reid and Ridley come into the side.
Lav maybeLeverde, hind, duursma, Hobbs, menzie worse, arguments could be made about Goldstein tsatas cox and McKay
What a celebration that would be for the club.Yeh the whole situation has infuriated me, almost like we are trying to get heppell to 250 games at this point.
Damn straight.What a celebration that would be for the club.
