    Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

    Allan Jeans said Sheedy couldn't leave things alone and thought that was a weak point. Not long ago was watching a mid 80's match between us and the Hawks and we were comfortably in front. Kevin Walsh was destroying Brereton who couldn't get near it. Sheedy changed the team around and took Walsh...

    AFL Player #34: Luamon Lual

    A few of the Blitzers saying he looks a different guy this pre season - a lot more confident, switched on and in good shape.

    Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

    Sheeds leaving at the same time Dodoro took leave (probably preparing his Fair Work case at that point) I think shows how deep his fangs have been embedded into the club. Not to mention his other connections and the people he had conflict with over the years getting run out of the club.

    Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

    One of the criticisms on Blitz was that it took 2 years for the club under Barham to remove Dodoro. There are a couple of things there - first at least it was done, it isn't easy removing someone like that with those tentacles. Second if Sheedy faction gets in there is the real possibility he is...

    Did he give any specifics on why he is unhappy with our current setup and what his plans are?

    Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

    The other scenario if we look like we are making progress especially under an old enemy like Scott - does sabotage take place? With Sheeds' ego and probably Hird too, I doubt they are happy unless they are the ones who in one way or another take us to the land of milk and honey. Also Sheeds'...

    Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

    I understand - it is to protect one's own sanity. Finally we have a guy (Rosa) with the most important job of managing the list who looks competent and non smug then the club looks like it will implode. When Weston talks about the lack of success it seems partially targeted at Scott and the...

    Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

    It would be unheard of in the history of any top level sport that a guy with his poor record and length of tenure comes back again - but it wouldn't surprise with all the machinations, him working with Hird at Port and the esteem he seems to be held in by the Sheedy faction.

    Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

    It's highly likely Scott will be sabotaged if all these guys are on board, hard not to think that. If Dodoro comes back that will be it for me, for a good while at the very least. Even our VFL team looked far better with the talent Rosa pulled in, he did this in a small timeframe given when he...

    AFL Player #25: Jaxon Prior - Welcome to Essendon!

    Remember seeing him play wing for East Perth in the 92 WAFL prelim against East Freo - honestly thought he was the second coming of Peter Matera and was stoked we got him (top 5 pick)

    AFL Player #38: Rhys Unwin - Welcome to Essendon!

    The guy from Everything Essendon reckons he will probably be our quickest player (had a 2.88sec 20m). From that GF vid decision making with ball looked sound and kicking although looks a bit unorthodox seemed ok, generally to advantage of the leading forward. He will probably spend a bit of time...

    Thought he is aggressive in the contest too - was hoping a while back we get someone like this. Worked with his uncle a mad Hawks supporter who was talking about him a couple of years back. Kayles dad was on the Hawks list in the 90s.

    Delisted Adrian Dodoro - Lodged a dispute with FairWork. Paid out. Gone. #putoutyourjackets

    Not sure if this one was like a normal fair work claim but if so going in person is the last stage after lengthy mediation/private negotiation so this has been going on a while and he was pushing for as much and hard as he could until the bitter end. Also eventually details of the tribunal...

    Delisted Adrian Dodoro - Lodged a dispute with FairWork. Paid out. Gone. #putoutyourjackets

    Assuming this is true from 7News "It has been reported that the Bombers have offered a “six-figure payout” to Dodoro but Dodoro wanted a bigger number." You bled the club enough Dodo. Incompetence, unprecedented tenure by a long margin for someone with no success, awarded life membership, made...

    Roos was amazing - saw him dominate for Fitzroy at the WACA one night when WCE were virtually a state of origin team. Under severe heat most of the night, didn't fumble, good decision maker and just kept clunking them and repelling attacks. Not sure how SOS would have been viewed had the umps...

    😂 Yeah with the guy who led the review saying it was freefall and containing citation to the NIST report. So with that logic should we downplay all videos from 20 years ago showing the tower collapse??

    Spoke to a guy today that watches a lot of West Coast. He was surprised Culley got turfed and thinks that one could come back to bite. When I asked him about Witherden he said composure with ball under pressure was a serious issue that didn't improve - we have enough of that already.

    It's a useful adjunct for those saying there were no whistleblowers and Jennings because of his status has credibility as a witness.
