Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just another idiot doubling down on delusion.

 

[Doss]

oh gosh no! steer well clear of St Kilda, in fact a good rule to remember is that nothing good ever happens south of the Yarra

I think we’ve clearly got to the point where the compromise is they all go to a beach on the north bank of the Yarra only.

you say this but then unlike me you have never seen Guelf and Drape in their speedos on the st kilda beach going for a Sunday morning swim

And apparently they have a couple of chaperones, usually it’s the welfare manager who goes as well. Or at least Richmond has them, with Covid cuts who knows if Essendon does.

I don't know about current day, but certainly going back to the Hird & Lloyd era there was end of season trips with the majority of the playing group that had some club chaperones - usually board members were able to opt-in if they were willing to pay their own way, similar for club doctors or support staff.

Having a playing group go away for a week to somewhere then head off on their own separate holidays isn't a new, nor uniquely Essendon thing. Kane is just a flog looking for attention, as usual.

Yep. And until phones with cameras became a thing, probably the chaperones weren’t needed either.

I believe the chaperones were an optional requirement, if no one opted in then it's not like people were forced to go, or the trip cancelled, but I don't think they ever had an issue finding opt-in chaperones.

The things Victorians view as a beach.

Maybe they’re following the example from the 2000 team when they were all lifting weights on the footy trip in Spain to return in the best shape. Parish isn’t there though as he’s in Fiji.

that’s because he’s a loser and no one likes him. and he smells.

 

[Maxabillions]

Who goes to Ibiza? Just go to St Kilda Beach. Drink enough you'll think you're in Ibiza.

Dunno how much they’ll be drinking in Ibiza

[fishardansin]

Kane Cornes lives to create the cheap likes and outrage lines. It’s his sole point as a person in the media.

Yep sounds like the sort of douche that gets into leadership at schools or is an assistant coach at VFL level ... or a copper.

Not a fireman though.

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

No idea what the fuss is with thr Ibiza trip. I'm glad the lads get along so well. They're a team, when you're friends you want to fight for each other. You often see 4-5 lads going to America or Europe together. There's not much evidence of exclusion going on.

A trip to Europe sounds heaps better than having to put up with Joey Derp on a camping trip like the poor campaigners had to do at the end of 2020.
They haven’t been able to travel overseas for 3 years which is why they are probably going away in such a large group.
Good luck to them, sounds like fun.

 

[Jade]

In my experience, the inexperienced / underperforming want a lot of guidance and usually need it. I sure as hell wanted it and would have killed for more at a number of different points.

Uh huh.

Not the worst thing I’ve heard for a while.

Although he’s been on this for a while from the looks of this one

I reckon he would be better suited taking over from Peter Allen as the finance director considering he is worth like a quarter of a billion dollars.

 

[windyhill]

Welsh, made millions with dodoro. Hird worshipper. You couldnt make this shit up. For the thousands upon thousands that hate our guts, mock our every move, it just gets better and better.
Laughing stock.

Based on his tweet above, not too much of a Hird fan. More of a process fan

Perhaps he could use his connections to get dodoro a job somewhere else
