Controversial statement I know, but the last couple of weeks have really changed my opinion on him:I would like to see Goddard continue to be the captain next year. Wait until 2018 to have Heppell take over
Hooker has my vote as next captain.
I tell you how we integrate them;Have the first training session with all the returning players at Etihad stadium.
Get as many of the members, supporters both local and interstate to the session.
Pack the damn stadium out and give them a life experience they will never forget.
Make it an event, unprecedented in afl history!!
Show the rest of the competition the Essendon heart still beats strong.
THAT is how WE do it!!!
Don’t think so. They need to bond with the other players way before anyone else. BBQs, farking fancy dress parties. Whatever. WE can wait. Let them get to know each other again a bit before they have to put on a show for us.
Nah Heppell for me.
