Who the hell do Essendon think they are?
They talk so much crap during trade week every year and then at the last minute try and make totally one sided deals which are hardly ever going to be considered.
How they had the nerve to do a deal for Zantuck and pick 36 in exchange for their pick 30.
Do you think for one moment Miller was going to make the AFL room in time, never in a million years!!! He had his chance to shaft the bombers and he took it with a big grin on his face!!!
Then they have the nerve to try and do a trade for Scott West, now West is a champion player and will be for atleast another 2-3 years. Essendons offer: Darren Walsh(19y/o and 2 games) plus a second rounder. What an insult this is to Scotty West.
Essendon think they are aboce everyone else and i am sick of them, lets hope with Wallace taking over we can start a period of dominance over those scum and hopefully Zantuck is best on ground.

Agree Bully - made my day to see Greg grinning from ear to ear as he said it was their fault and seeing the Bombers "schit-for-brains-trust" looking on with daggers :rollin

Shafter Sheedy got Shafted :lol

Did you see Mark Harvey - CLASSIC :rollin
Their attempt to trade for Scott West was an insult to Scott West and embarassed Essendon for the dills they are. Isn't strange how all these missed trades happen to Essendon. Misiti, Alvey, RCF missing the draft pick that was to come with Blumfield and now Zantuck. Shows them for what they are - con artists and morons >:( and did I mention stupid. ;D
-
Yes, I can't stand Essendon either. And now that they Damian Hardwick over there - what's he going to do, teach Lloyd how to really get away with stuff?
-
Sheedy has been left behind with the advent of modern thinking.
Ego and complacency.
Too old,too slow,too stubborn.
LMAOOO@ There being a newer biznesss format and sheeds having no idea how to work with it.
They wont win a flag for 20 years.

Julz I think Hardwick's gone to the Hawks hasn't he?

So true Bg,
I believe Miller has been the turning point

Sorry - I stand corrected. He originally came from Essendon though, didn't he? If so, explains a lot.

Agree Bully but thankfully it looks like everyone else has woken up to them. Clubs no longer want to trade with Sheeds :thumbsup. Might be some mediorce times coming up for the bombers if they keep topping up to try and scrape into the top 8 8).

Bomber blast for Tigers
10 October 2004 Sunday Herald Sun
By JON PIERIK
ESSENDON has launched a blistering attack on Richmond football director Greg Miller over the failed Ty Zantuck deal. Saying the club was annoyed by the general lies that come out during trade week, Bomber recruiting manager Adrian Dodoro reserved his strongest attack for the Richmond boss.
Miller said on 3AW yesterday: "The night before (Thursday) we had a deal that was going to get the Tigers choice nine and it involved Ty going to the Kangaroos, which he seemed at the time happy to do.
"Then Essendon that night and the next morning said: 'We want Ty, we want Ty.'
"As soon as we rang their recruiting guy, he says: 'We are not interested in Ty.'
"This goes on all day. In the meantime, the Kangaroos get frustrated and that deal falls over.
"As we expected, Essendon walk in a couple of minutes to the deadline and we didn't make it in time."
But Dodoro said the Essendon contingent was leaving Optus Oval near the 2pm deadline on Friday when player manager Paul Connors approached them about doing a late trade for Zantuck, who is managed by Anthony McConville.
"We had told them about Tuesday we weren't interested because of the money," Dodoro said.
"We told Anthony McConville we don't want him, send him to the Kangaroos. The money was too much.
"We're annoyed by what's happening," Dodoro said of the reporting of the failure to do a deal.
In the aftermath of trade week, a smiling Miller said he had made a wrong turn in his effort to complete a deal before the deadline and then followed up yesterday with criticism of Essendon over the outcome.
The latest row revives memories of the row following Richmond's pursuit of Bomber midfielder Dean Solomon last year.

Good.
We as a club should give it to all these mofo's.
We dont need friends,besides,what have they done for us latey.
Treat them all with the contempt they deserve.
The best way to the top is to take no prisoners.
Here's to the re-igniting of the GR era.
Go Tiges.

I don't think GR would have faced the media smiling like Miller did on Friday Ox. GR would have been snarling not smiling ;D
But fantastic to see that we wont be pushed around anymore by other clubs, player managers and disgruntled players :thumbsup

Further to this,Essendon not only tapped West up,but they had the temerity to demand West,who won his 6th B&F for the dogs this year,to take a pay cut,and a further demand that the Dogs also pay $150k of his salary while playing for Essenscum!!
Absolutely insulting!!
What arseholes they are.
We should never deal with them at trade time again.

You can only backdoor someone for so long before they decide to pull their pants up and go somewhere else.
Essendon have been bending clubs over for years at trade time and it finally appears that they are starting to become the victims of their own success.

lmfaoooo fwoy, it's disturbing how often I do it. It always seems appropriate though in the ASSessments.

Please JohnF,don't lead us ASStray !
The topic is ASSendon. :thumbsup

ROFLFMAoo Rest ASSured Ox, I will stick to the topic :thumbsup

I think Essendon is on the nose with everyone. The vibe in the news reports to do with trading is the everyone has had a gutfull of the Bombers. I think they are on the start of the downhill slope. Can't wait to see all the arrogant supporters who know nothing about the game dessert them in droves. A bit like our fairweather Tiger supporters who have dissappeared over the last 20 years.
