restricting Kosi to 48?
I've already posted in this thread, did you miss it?I'm surprised we havent seen [user]Lance Uppercut[/user] here.
Surely his brand of reasoned discourse could add something to the topic? After all, he was claiming to be an expert on failed rebirths....

I'll post again and add that imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery. Fairly clunky effort, not very subtle, but had a crack. And you don't see me whinging about trolling, do you?
And also the whole drugs thing is a big kick, They've failed in august for like the 3rd year in a row.
Can only hopeI compare the Essendon situation with that of richmond in 2003. Clinto Casey threw the keys to Greg Miller and he basically did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted and the club failed.
Essendon have done the same to Hird, the difference, they gave Hird a blank cheque and gave Hird absolute power to do a job, he has no experience in doing.
It may very well end the same way
Essendon will be an ordinary team for a very long time.. once they lose their draft picks they really have no decent young players other than carlile and danniher (unproven) and are in for a real struggle period
Deserve it though
Essendon probably will be banned from finals, but are incapable of winning a final anyway if they aren't.
This website at the moment is just straight-up unreadable.
What a difference 3 weeks makes on Bigfooty.
Essendon are vying for top spot 3 weeks back.
Richmond can't beat the teams that matter.
Suddenly.
Richmond are world beaters.
Essendon can't possibly win a final.
Yeah coz you're team is shot again at the business end of the season
Who have you beaten besides Freo ?
Got rid of our best player a few years ago! Houli..... that elite kicking!
Better than more than half the players on your current list
That's why golden child wanted to keep him
That is a cop out- says a hell of a lot about the players if they are taking that onto the field. I ask most Bomber fans, if you personally were playing each week, would you even give the off field cr@p a second thought? I wouldn't, in any sport I have played, once on the field of play, you play to win no matter what is going on in the rest of your life (unless you are sick or carrying injury).And yet we're still firmly entrenched in the 8 with this whole ASADA investigation having no doubt devastating effects on the playing group.
I'd be more concerned about round 23, especially considering your sides performance the last time we met. Could be the difference between playing a very poor side with a failed rebuild, or a side from Adelaide with a genuine shot at a flag.
not sure if serious
well he did help us beat you guys a few games back when he kicked to a old team mate
The three oldest teams in the league at the moment are Hawthorn, Geelong and Sydney and we have been around the same spot with them all year cant be that bad of a rebuild specially with dealing with all the crap
when we have a working forward line cause really thats what our issue is which has a light at the end of the tunnel called Joe Daniher then we are away and our rebuild will look great
I think Mcbean will be better

The fact that Hird et al are now spinning this rubbish is an insult, and just an excuse. It happened last few years as well, what was upsetting the poor boys then?
Why not Jobe? Hardwick didDid you expect Hird to gut the list while GWS and Gold Coast dominate the drafts?
Hardwick has proved no more than Hird has. Richmond's best season in quite a while is just enough to match our good, but not great season. You cannot claim that Richmond's list will challenge for flags while ours won't.
Of course you do. You are a Richmond supporter.
Have you seen him play? He has impressed as much as Daniher
Has kicked 36 goals and only played 1 more game than Daniher who has 29
Yep. I've seen him play and really rate him. But it's a bit early to tell, who will be the better player. Let them both play 100 games, and then we'll see.
