    Bryce Gibbs Bronx Cheered by Carlton Fans...

    Well, will the media crucify the carlton fans like Essendon fans and the whole Stanton thing? a year ago carlton fans bronxed Henderson, today they gave it to gibbs. Lets hope for some balanced journalism. :thumbsu:

    Prima Facie - Why we are getting the Video Review wrong.

    I think this needs a thread of its own, as I believe the overarching problem with our video review is that we get it arse about! Most of our contentious reviews occur when a ball goes through the goals, and nobody sees a deviation or ball change direction etc, then gets called. It seems...

    Return of the Flood?

    How long do you think clubs/coaches will put up with massive scores against? The press looks to be unlocked, cant save a score to save itself anymore. Sure, one on one could come in, but is that going to be enough for the defensive side of the game? I have a feeling we are coming full...

    Cam Mooney interview - Essendon & Bomber

    Re: "The Weapon" Dean Robinson - Interview Was anyone listening to SEN at around 10:45 last night? Whilst driving home they played an interview with Cam Mooney - very long and detailed and considering it was a bloke I was never a massive wrap for, had me glued and stayed in the car once I...

    Was Green grinning through that Press Conference?

    They way he presented was just bizarre. Not sure what is going on down there.

    Why we won...It's about styles first and foremost

    Great win obviously, both for the result but also the way in which we directly addressed glaring reasons for recent loses. Yes, there were great individual performances, especially from key younger guys, but the #1 reason we turned it around was due to the fact we rectified the area which was...

    Essendon: The Bigger Picture - Mod's Selection

    I posted after the Richmond game that they shouldnt get ahead of themselves, and really it goes for melb, freo and norf as well. Whilst we didnt put anything on the scoreboard, we did a lot things well in those games, highlighted by the fact we are #1 in the comp over the past month or...

    The Forwardline Conundrum

    The forward line is the area which is absolutely destroying us right now, fairly obvious to most, but the constant "3 talls doesnt work" argument isnt looking at the whole problem either. From an holistic point of view, we caught teams short playing 3 talls, gave us options early and whilst I...

    Our best performance in years!

    Yet we can improve left, right and centre. Forget individuals, as a whole - a structured team we really looked like a team going somewhere today. We didnt rely on individual brilliance, as a general rule we stuck to great structures and well it was all said it done, it was probably a very...

    Mod's Pick: Player load management

    Original post: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=20750710&postcount=101 exactly. Like Scott said last night, whatever most teams are doing against Collingwood isnt really working, why not try to show them something different? Not many can play 2 very versatile ruckmen like us...

    Pressure

    Not just on the ball opposition, but from behind. How many players on our list could sleep at night with the reassurance that their spot in the first 18 is comfortable, if say they went through a bad month in form? Not many. I reckon it would be hard to name many more than 6. Our list...

    Forwardline - Starting to look like one

    Last night was a great display by the forwardline, as a whole. Finally Gumby and Hurley succesfully worked out the change up - take lake out if they could, isolote gumby deep when the matchup permitted, take his opponent on a trot to the half back line when that permitted. Jetta and Davey...

    Geelong - have to trade.

    Bomber just said in the post game press conference the cats have salary cap issues - in a nutshell will need to trade away players for picks and develop kids again. He is looking forward to this next phase etc. So who could trade bait. And picks are what they are after, not players (non base...

    The season ahead.

    Very interesting situation we find ourselves in. Right now we look shot injury-wise, but it may not be all that bleak. In the next month we play Haw, St. K, Rich and Geelong. The Richmond game is huge, as that is the one we can/need to snag. At that point, by round ten we could possibly...

    Our major weakness...

    Yea we had a dog of a day all round really, yet still can blame nobody but ourselves after we have more of the footy, more inside 50's and more scoring shots. But, we are defintiely coming together - the pieces slotting nicely in, there is clearly a more defensive side to our game these days...

    Weak, Insipid, Soft!!

    Yep, the AFL have no balls whatsover. How could they allow that mess of colours to happen? Both teams have "clash strips", we also have "clash shorts", and of all the possible combinations surely Essendon wearing white shorts was the dumbest decision in the history of clashes! I blame the...

    Are we run by a bunch of monkeys?

    This is the first time in my life I have ever been embarrassed for/by the club. Regardless of personal thoughts re Sheedy 08, after everything that he is, he has done, how the heck can we do this to such a person? Surely over a quarter of a decade service gives him the honor of announcing...

    Contested Situations

    we suck. Ive said it before, and it was clear as day again, our biggest area for improvement is in the blue collar area. We simply dont work hard enough for each other and off the ball. That is all for today.
