Didn’t watch the footy last night. Instead watched old Essendon games while comiserating with other Essendon supporters and drinking to James Hird
Anyone else get the feeling there's a few club/board plants going hard in here since Hirdy got the shaft?Obvious as dogs balls on a cat.
Don’t be so dramatic.Some with contacts are obviously being spun a line - SLloyd will unite us all yada yada, don’t worry about the board it’s all OK. Posters have pretty much confirmed as much.
Obviously one person or group of power brokers are selling that as the way forward. Doesn’t mean they have the sway to make it happen, or that the plan would come off.
Hate to break up the conspiracy theory…
But who has said that S Lloyd will unite the club?
One poster looked for some info on him As our player mindset issues would be unique. He didn’t say he would unite the club.
It’s a silly statement and I don’t see how the club can be united again. It’ll be different but not united.
Who has said that the board is ok?
I haven’t read that one yet. Must have missed it.
They haven’t been okay for a long time and have a lot of explaining to do about the events of the past year In particular.
There was an opportunity to overthrow the board last year, but there was more of a worry of opening the doors to let more snakes in.
In that time, did we ever get an explanation on the B&F fiasco? We seemed to forget about getting an explanation for it because we had Hird as coach so all was good again.
I hope we have a forum similar to what Collingwood had with their fans/members at the end of last year. But I doubt It’ll help those that have made up their minds already.
BTW…
I’m not an EFC plant. I’m an illuminati plant here to control discussion of climate change on behalf of Obama.
Just got home from a nice weeks break in fiji to find my house robbed and Jimmy gone. How ■■■■.
They stole Jimmy?

No, I am calling the people who drop on and drop off as fair weather - thats the ■■■■■■■ definition of a fair weather supporter.Do you actually know what a fair weather supporter is? We have plenty at Essendon, and they are members too.
Jesus, dont take everything so personally. Relax and think before posting
A supporter who signs on in fair weather and disappears when it gets tough.
How the heck could you spin anything in the last decade as fair weather?
Delete, duplicate
Benfti = wilson's "love" child?All the hallmarks of a Fairfax hack.
Spin spin spin spin
On the AFL payroll soon (already?)
You are joking I hope.
Ben and I disagree on some things, but he is a fine Bomber person with more credibility than you will ever have.
You live up to your name.
“fine Bomber person” - If the cap fits …like Little, Evans, Mr Wilson…?
Unlike it seems the man who was sacked on Tuesday.
I like the way you defend his right to snipe but not those who respond.
I’ve always tried to live a blob life - it is reassuring to know success has come.
Any talk of not renewing membership etc etc as a show of dislike of current decisions is going to hurt the club more.
I think of the club as my own family and if one of your kids makes a poor decisions, do you throw them out? Do you help them? Do you provide support?
Regardless of what has happened, I will continue to support the club in spirit and in membership. I don’t agree Hird going was the right decision, but will ‘accept it’ and move on. Let’s be part of the future greatness!
LOL at Wilson's latest article. Stating that Hird was never a big deal to the AFL; he clearly was to you youpoor soul.
The victors have started rewriting history.
James who???
There is no Essendon spirit to be found at The Essendon football club any more. We are a shell of something that was once great. Our best spokesperson is a Saints great and the rest is silence.

give it a rest ben.
give it a rest ben.I will if you will
You are very perceptive.
DansDans said:i understand that my question to you the other night got lost in all the other post’s.
So will ask again,
What are we moving forward to?
Another phase in Essendon’s history - isnt that what every wants?
Thanks for responding.
Yes we all want another phase, a good phase, but til WADA and CAS is over, we cannot start another phase.
You are absolutely right, however hopefully be the time preseason rolls around the CAS hearing will be done, we will have a brand new club with nothing hanging over their heads.
That’s a fresh start right there
Except Sunshine, the reaming of our favorite Son and still a gray away strip !
"A"favourite son.There is a couple still on the list right now, one on the board, and a fair few others on the fringes. Essendon is bigger than just James Hird
Of course Essendon is.
But the current administration is far, far smaller.
No arguments there. But when did anyone ever barrack for the administration?
It continues.It's late and people are drunk
Not speaking for everyone though
It continues.
