Depressing that's it's only taken Brisbane about 3 years to finish second on the ladder where's Essendon has been trying to win a ****ing final for over a decade.
Need a ****ing broom through the joint.

Yeah, Lions whinging about this and that and plenty of others are in no mans land reminding me of ninethmond!!
2nd least experienced list in the AFL behind only the Gold Coast. So much upside in this group. We'll dominate the competition when we have a new coach and less injuries.
North,Hawks,Blues,Saints will all pass us soon if we don't make changes.

Blues are on the up long term, not so sure about North and Hawks although their might be a short term rise.
Saints are an interesting one, bit of an enigma in terms of a unique list, not sure there. Interesting to see what they do with Ratten at the helm now
Still read the article about compromised drafts with academy etc.. so its a bit of a crap shoot next year anyway apparently.
A lot of teams are becoming mid range. Even the gun teams are not that loaded with superstars these days so might be a case of getting the base fairly good, bit of luck here and there and anything can happen on any given year especially if its a weak one.
Might be cause why Gold Coasts draft priority proposal is madness because no need for super teams when comp is becoming more even all the time

I think Saints did a mistake hiring Ratten
It's like when we hired Worsfold failed coaches rarely succeed at their 2nd job

It’s like when you hired worsfold?!
Worsfold isn’t a failed coach, he won a flag ffs.
It takes time to build a premiership team, clubs have to have patience as it doesn’t happen overnight. Worsfold has a history of building premiership teams, give him time and he’ll do it again.
I agree that he won't be suspended, but just because it was retaliation doesn't give you a free pass to do whatever you want. Yeah Zerrett's hair pull was pretty weak, but the reaction of throwing him into the fence was extremely dumb. I think NN will escape with a fine but there is the potential to cause injury/rough conduct possibility that might see him get 1.
It takes longer building a club from the s**t mess it was. I'd give him the last year to see where it goes with injured players back fit.
Never compare him to Cripps either.
If the club thought that it will take a few years to build a premiership list they wouldn't have got Stringer,Smith,Saad,Shiel to the club. Those players were brought in to have a crack at flag now.
Not holding my breath on our fortunes turning next season.
If I were coach they will get no mad monday and no holidays time for this group of players for some tough love if they don't like it they can find another club.

You'll go a long way to find a worse behaved crowd than that in Perth. And it's not a one off.
That was clearly you who edited it lol (although I did chuckle). Almost as bad as Rompingwins or Macpotata bumping one of his own threads
IMO It's about time Nic got rid of the dreadlocks then there wouldn't be a problem. Time for a change of hairstyle perhaps.
Coming from a Collingwood supporter that's a bit rich! It takes one to know one perhaps
Perhaps the management/Board of the EFC were in la la land and thought miracles happen overnight which of course is not being realistic. Considering the mess Essendon were in following the drugs saga it's bound to take a few years to get everything back on track. A little bit of patience is needed I would think, andas long as there are signs of improvement then your Club is heading in the right direction.
I would put my money on Geelong beating your team tomorrow night. So more than likely it will be the Pies we play next week which I look forward to!

The trouble with Essendon as I see it is the bottom 6 or even more are just too weak. Not enough quality. I do not mind the look of Ambrose but really for the players on the park Essendon overachieved making he eight I think.
There are a number of teams with average lists so you can win a number of games without being strong
Essendon have been a bit unlucky. When they had good picks they did not go bad in getting McGrath, Parish and so forth but these players are not franchise players like a Bontempelli or J Cameron or Lloyd or James Hird.
Essendon lack a few real quality gun players and having Daniher out does not help
