That was the point being made ...

You’re right. I misread.

Yeah. It sucked at the time but now with the benefit of years of hindsight we came out of that better cos Boomer went a year or two early. You made the point in another thread about that 2017 draft and Will Walker how difficult it is to predict these calls and how much easier it is to judge them in hindsight.

This is a perfect example of that. I wouldn't have predicted we'd have come out of that situation (sacking Boomer) with this particular benefit.

Campaigners betting Andrews could spin the Bombers away from pokies

Essendon fans campaigning for the club to sell its poker machines see light in the Victorian premier’s plan to cut the speed they spin.

www.theage.com.au

A group of Dons fans have been leading a public campaign under the badge NoPE urging the club to sell its poker machines due to the harm they do to the community. They met new Dons CEO Craig Vozzo in July, but CBD hears they were told the club needed the poker machines to remain financially independent.

What's this? * can't remain financially independent without exploiting people's addictions.

I think we can all see pretty clearly who the real campaigners are in that story and it aint the folk suggesting * get out of pokies!

 

[ferball]

So to make the finals * have to beat Collingwood by around times their score (over 200 to about 20) and then hope the Giants get flogged.

If you want a laugh, go to *'s Brad Scott thread and read all the comments saying Shortstepell isn't soft!

 

[Nate7]

More importantly, when is day 6969?

 

[ferball]

October 4 isn't it?

 

[Lomas]

Typical *. Wear a seatbelt and it's across the wrong shoulder for drivers. Classic passengers.

What's the current tally of days without a Finals Win?

Or should I re-word that by asking What's the current tally of days without a Finals Win + 370?

 

[Hojuman]

Nov. 4th. Happy 7000th

 

[Sillygit]

is it just me or are they not cutting to Brad in the box these days as much?

Looking a huge chance to happen at this stage. Only in reverse.

We may be 18th but * are clearly the worst team in it at this point in time.

 

[brooksnk]

It’s called tanking.

They can score a much better pick losing this game.
