David Barham - Our former Board Overlord

If the Kelly rumor is true, can he bring Lappin with him?

You reckon?

The players are that invested in Brad? Because they read out loud a club prepared PR statement?

I think the players are all in with Brad especially the younger guys

It’s the right decision to move on and didn’t have to be dragged out kicking and screaming. He’s copped it, but I reckon he had the club’s interests at heart. It’s a tough gig especially when things are going crap for so long. And yes, you can be the cause of the crappiness so you have to cop the heat.

Here’s hoping Welsh is ruthless in the role and his key focus is on getting us back as a successful club on the football field.

Based on his unwavering support of them?

I have read that some think a change before the draft would be a disaster but with all due respect I am not sure having our captain sitting at our table at the Brownlow knowing he was privately meeting Hawthorn seeking a trade can get much worse. Time to announce Hird as coach and Bartel as assistant . Kelly fits into a football operations role.

thanks. this is wild.

Now that Barham is gone it makes his not trading comments regarding Merrett and maybe even, Ridley superfluous.
Is it now likely we are going to trade Merrett &, maybe, Ridley?

While we can’t entertain our supporters on the field, the new strategy of the club is to entertain our supporters off the field.

Soon we will be selling off season membership passes so people can watch the games being played in the boardroom, because it’s immeasurably better than the games we play on the field.

This season has started sensationally for Essendon with player unrest, departures from the President down and the promise of more tension, then the draft and trade period to come.

It is a pity that the off season from March to August is such a waste of time.!

For all the bottom feeding journalists who pump up their own tyres and act like they know exactly what’s happening……… nobody has any f*cking idea what going on.

Australian journalists pump up tyres

Whilst I feel betrayed by Merrett’s actions, I’m really glad to see him rock up to the Brownlow and sit with some of the guys. Whether he stays or goes, I want there to be a professionalism between him, the club and his teammates. Like it or hate it, he’s been a gun for us for a really long time and he’s polling all our votes - he should be there.

He’s won 3 more finals than anyone who has started playing for the club since 2005.
