Bombers prez reckons they'll win a flag by 2012 :wallywink :rollin
http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tabid/208/Default.aspx?newsId=69978
With Lloyd, Lucas or Fletcher gone by then they'll be lucky not to be still bottom 6 material.
-
That is funny. They probably think Lyoyd and Lucas will still be starring in 2012 and in Brownlow contention.
In the article he gave Knights 8/10 for finishing 12th with eight wins and 14 losses. Obvious BS but it contrasts severly to TW's 5/10 from our el presidente.
-
After controversially sacking Sheedy because they wanted Voss and then being left with Knighter, Les Patterson had to give Knighter a good mark otherwise an average mark would reflect back on him.
-
The Bumblers and Pies have dominated the Big 4 set up in recent years. I think that the Blues and ourselves will replace them this season and seasons to come.
The Big 4 will finish like this in 2009.
1 Richmond
2 Carlton
3Collingwood
4 Essendon.
Essendon have nothing and will not be top 10.
-
Topic: Why I think we should challenge for top 4 next year..
http://www.bomberblitz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=63283
Yep when you luckily just scrape into the top 8 with something pathetic like just 10 wins and then are annihilated in your one final appearance you are obviously top 4 material according to Bomber fans :stupid :rollin.
-
:lol
What are the odds on them not making the 8, coz I'll have a piece of that action
-
Luck went there way with freo having alot of injuries and kangaroo's not winning an extra game.
Also drawing with carlton they played out of there skin from what I remember from that game.
They should aim to just be in the finals again next year. Unlike last time when Knights got them in the finals the next year after that they had huge hopes of massive improvement and they somewhat went backwards.
-
Their former president or CEO was talking top 4 in 2010 after they last made the finals and they went backwards. Same old same old all talk no action at Windy Hill :wallywink

Seeing Essendon fail ranks closely with seeing Richmond succeed for mine.

It's like clockwork. Every time the Bombers pump themselves up as a top side they crash and burn :rollin.
Lost to the Hawks by 4 pts = Essendon's season over :lol.
A good result for us as we play them in round 22 and they'll be now thinking about their September holidays.
-
How will it be an Essendon v Geelong grand final from outside the eight?
-
Why is James Hird involved in footy anymore? He took a bunch of kids and put them through the dodgiest drug program in the history of sport while ignoring medical advice and then fought tooth and nail til the bitter end in the courts.
If he'd had morals he'd have encouraged the dons to admit guilt. Everyone just dodged and evaded for years. Go away James, go do something else somewhere else.

This makes up somewhat for losing against Collingwood.... :shh
-
The reality bus has hit Windy Hill/Tullamarine :lol.
I went tonight because I wanted to support the team.
I sat down in the Essendon members reserved seating and was surrounded by Richmond fans
Sometimes wet weather game can bring a poor team closer to a good team. And sometimes it can really expose the gulf between them.
We are garbage.
The coach is garbage
The senior players are garbage
Our board is garbage
Our football department is garbage
Our medical team is garbage
Little advice to those we like to come on here and act all high and mighty to the lid on crew. I wouldn’t be doing that tonight.
Watched about six minutes of the second quarter and turned it off.
Won’t watch another Essendon game this year, maybe ever. Just a useless, pathetic, weak club.
We should take class action against the club.
This playing group just don’t care enough.
We are now immune to this sort of disappointment. It doesn’t even faze me as much as it used too. Most of us expected this result tonight and some late cheap goals doesn’t change that feeling.
Richmond had 4 of their best not out there and we still couldn’t match them. 1 goal to Half Time. Pitiful.
There is no doubt our team is a bottom six side. Looking at the fixture for the rest of the year, I think we’ll only finish 8-14/9-13…something like that.
Richmond weren’t great at all - hence their panic with about 15mins left.
ive been supporting this club since about 03/04, cant take anymore of this ■■■■, theyve destroyed my passion for the game
I can’t believe I actually turned off because they were so insipid. I have followed the club for 45 years but this getting hard to take. We are losing a generation of supporters.
16 straight seasons without a finals win. We are now into an entire generation of fans who have not seen us win a final.
Sack the coach
Sack the CEO
Sack the board
Sack the assistant coaches
Sack the strength and conditioning coach
The club is a dead set rabble

Such a joy to see the bumbers sucking eggs. The one thing they never do is eat humble pie the tossers.

Good for us as well as it keeps us in the Eight.

-
They never just admitted guilt, it was we'll just have to wear it cos we lost, gee that's tough pity us. Now that it's public knowledge Bomber was on the gear in 2007 according to Frank Costa it makes me wonder if any of the rest of the Cats team were on something too. I forget which of their small forwards got done for buying some for his mate.

It was coke and Matthew Stokes was the player

They haven't won a final in the past 50 years without Sheeds as coach (they've had 11 coaches in that time). 12 years before Sheeds took over they didn't win one and in the 12 years (and counting) since he got the sack they haven't won a final either.

Exhibit A: ;D
This is what we’ve turned into, a club who lets its biggest rivals take ****** liberties and laugh at us. I cant imagine Essendon ever beating Coll, Carl or Rich in an important game again for at least another ****** generation.
**** you Essendon, **** YOU.
https://discourse.bomberblitz.com/t/what-needs-changing-at-this-club/15412/447
It's funny because it couldn't happen to a more deserving club whose arrogance is only matched by their delusions :yep. Each year they and their sycophants in the media pump up how they are going to be a top 4 and even premiership contender and each year they always come a cropper :rollin.

Dunno what the hate is all about.
If a club can manage his OP better, and Essendon has surely made a meal of that, this kid is a gun when fit in my opinion - and I don't even really like him and I hate the Dons.
Not many blokes 200cm tall can take a mark standing on another blokes head and jag goals from 50m+.

He often missed from 25 out in front though.
And you can't really factor in his "if you get him right" value too much. He's played a handful of games across 2 seasons. Not worth much more than a late first round pick for mine.

That can in a funny way be good if they peak at the end of the year when everybody is back. But you have to win enough games early.
-
Essendon has made no secret of the fact that it wants to be like Richmond.
Well, there was something markedly different about Essendon in its pre-season victory against West Coast.
Dare we say it … but it was ‘Richmondy’.

One preseason game apparently makes Essendon like Richmond :lol.
-
Over summer, as the Bombers implemented some game plan methods successful at Punt Road, it was left to Townsend to do some of the directing despite only just arriving at Essendon.
"There's times when we've been out training and there's blokes who have asked me what we should be doing here because it's what we were doing at Richmond, so it's a bit of a weird feeling when people like Michael Hurley, a two-time All Australian, was asking me, 'What should I do here?'," he said.

They might want to try and win a final first after 16 years before wishful thinking talk about flags :stupid.
Every preseason (this shutdown is effectively one) they can't help themselves being deluded and pumping themselves up before the footy restarts and reality reminds them they're actually crap ;D.
-
Admittedly we hadn't won a final in 16 years...
-
Dodoro, who’s been part of Essendon’s list management set-up for the past 22 years,
The Bombers haven't won a final in 16 years. Let's hope he stays at Essendon for another 22 years ;D.
oversaw the Bombers select key-position prospect Scott Gumbleton at Pick 2 in the 2006 draft then David Myers at Pick 6 the next year.
Those decisions meant Essendon missed out on triple premiership Cat and six-time All-Australian Selwood (Pick 7, 2006) then four-time premiership Hawk and Norm Smith Medallist Rioli (Pick 11, 2007).

Add overlooking Jack or Sheds in 2006 and Rance in 2007. Then losing Houli for nothing by trying to be greedy at the trade table in 2010. Dodo - the gift that keeps on giving ;D.

Makes sense Chucky. Looks like the Dons are going to copy Norf anyway with a list-purge and spend another decade in the wilderness :thumbsup.
Damian Barrett is reporting that Cale Hooker is “not at all happy” at the Bombers while Michael Hurley could also weigh up his future.
“Those three players (Daniher, Fantasia and Saad) that Lloydy just mentioned, I don’t see being Bombers in 2021,” Barrett told Channel Nine’s Sunday Footy Show.

Do you think they will approach Neil Balme??

Balmey has said he is staying at Tigerland. At his age, he isn't looking for that full on godfather role which is one of the reasons he turned down Adelaide's approach.

Former North Melbourne coach Brad Scott is one of Essendon’s top targets to replace axed football boss Dan Richardson.
Scott, 44, became Head of AFL Victoria in August as part of the league’s major cost-cutting restructure, shifting from Steve Hocking’s football operations team.
The Bombers yesterday said they were seeking “an experienced and senior replacement for this critical football leadership role”.
Scott’s no-nonsense approach – he coached the Kangaroos for 10 seasons before departing Arden Street last May - appeals to the Dons, who will cast the net wide for what they see as a crucial appointment in reversing the club’s flagging fortunes.
-
No surprise but the scroll on 7news last night said we weren't interested in getting Dan Richardson back.

Essendon can’t just be like Richmond, and a split between John Worsfold and Ben Rutten made life difficult in 2020, according to the club’s now-completed internal review.
The review rejected the idea of emulating Richmond, a move partially driven by now-former footy boss Dan Richardson, who joined from Punt Road at the end of 2017 but was axed just before the trade period.
“A desire to better understand what we stand for as a club and a football team is a theme I have been hearing from our members and it came through in some of the interviews (with players) as well,” Brasher said in the review.
“We need to be clearer on what the Essendon brand stands for. We will be addressing this as a club to ensure that our brand and our identity are clearly defined.”
“Just understanding exactly what it is - you know, we’re not Richmond, we’re not some other team. We need to understand the game style that’s going to work for us and be able to communicate that to our players, but also to our members and our fans,” Brasher said.

Didn't need a review to say the Bombers aren't us. Of course they aren't. They suck ;D and long may it continue under dopey Dodoro with his "recruiting for dummies" handbook.

This tip of a club is in absolute turmoil today and isnt it good to see. Been listening to Sen their supporters ringing up. Its just beautiful. I wanted to ring up pretending to be a bomber, I wanted to beg for Dimma to cone home and finish it off by breaking down in tears and then when Im off the phone just go have a ouzo and laugh my head off.

Kane Cornes on the vision that shows how Bomber players have 'checked out' and why Ben Rutten's time appears to be up.

Wow! Incredible vision of the players relationship with Ben Rutten. “They have checked out”. And Hind is a 60+ gamer and he acts like this. What are the senior players thinking? Must be the same. Dire times for @essendonfc.

Ben Rutten’s role as coach at Essendon is “untenable” with senior club figures aware Alastair Clarkson is interested in the job according to the Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph.
And Bombers great Matthew Lloyd believes Rutten will not survive an upcoming external review and wants Clarkson to replace him.

gee what a difference in the deluded media commentary from when teague got sacked, or was about to, to now when Rutten gets sacked for Clarko.
How do you post pics on here?

That's disgusting from Nick Hind. Bring Truck home where he gets treated with respect.

Ben Rutten left Tullamarine a short time ago. He says he hasn’t been seeking assurances around his job, and expects to be coaching next season.

Nice try Sheeds you deluded fool.
Just like Jabba splurting out the same crap the other day. A few days they called them brave, yes so brave after killing off truck. Last year the CFC were criminals for doing the same thing to Teague.
-
Rutten worked at Richmond under Hardwick for four years and was a member of the coaching panel during the Tigers' drought-breaking 2017 premiership.
"Ben Rutten's a terrific coach, we've had him in these four walls, we know what he's capable of and how well he can do the job," Hardwick said on Thursday.
"What I do empathise with is the human element, it's a tough situation but that's the caper we're in.
"It's unfortunate in nature, but what we care about is the person and we hope Ben himself is doing OK."

Good to see Clarko isn't that stupid ;D
Bumblings have no one to blame but themselves. Why would anyone want to go to that Club based on how they've treated Rutten
Actually thinking about it I think we know one person that would and the HUN is reporting it may just happen.
Step right up James Hird
Seriously they deserve one another

“DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS”: RICHMOND CHAMP DEFENDS EMBATTLED RUTTEN
By Alex Zaia
SEN
19 August 2022
Richmond champion Jack Riewoldt has thrown his support behind embattled Essendon coach Ben Rutten.
Rutten’s future is in limbo with a year to run on his contract as the Bombers pursue four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson.
Essendon and North Melbourne are vying for Clarkson’s signature with a final decision expected to be announced by the weekend.
Riewoldt says the former Tigers assistant coach “deserves better”.
Rutten’s position has come under intense scrutiny following Essendon’s 84-point loss to Port Adelaide last week.
“I feel for Ben Rutten,” Riewoldt said on SEN Tassie.
“I’ve had a great relationship with ‘Truck’. He was part of the 2017 premiership. He deserves better than this for mine.
“Two years into his senior coaching life, he obviously had the transition year as well, which hasn’t really proven to be a successful model for anyone really.
“I feel for Truck because I know how much he cares about that playing group out there.
“I looked at him on the TV and he’s undeserving of what’s happening at the moment.”
Riewoldt is adamant Rutten hasn’t lost the playing group after footage emerged of an awkward exchange involving the Bombers coach and Nick Hind in a recent match.
“There’s no way that he could lose the players,” the Tigers forward added.
“Isolated incidents can be shown in a light that suits the narrative that you would like to continue to push.”

Wow, that's claiming Sheeds firstly switched sides on the board to overthrow the old president and dump Rutten and then secondly turned on the side of the board he had just sided with by telling Clarkson to go to North so that would open the door for Hird to return as coach. That's some next level conspiracy if true :o.

So he needs data from us and other clubs to understand:

- His club shouldn't still be in denial and still play the victim about it?
- You don't keep a dud chief recruiter on for 20 years?
- You don't shaft the senior coach for a 'messiah' or a favourite son? (Matty Knights must have a wry smile tonight by the way)
- You don't have a dysfunctional board which mainly plays politics and usurps each other chasing some 'messiah' you failed to get anyway because no one with any integrity would join you and your rabble club given how badly you've treated people and handled issues for the past couple of decades?

One of their biggest board issues is they have bloke on it who's always believed he is some sort of "messiah" because the EFC have spent decades pandering to his ego

We know the bombers are a joke of a club, and good on him for putting it on record.

Actually Frankie, the reason what he did was disgraceful is the fact he has publicly spoken about what has gone on in a board meeting. He has undermined the Board and by extension the Club
Corporate governance 101, what gets said in the board room stays in the board room
Sheeds can't do that he should quit

Board also shouldn't lie.
There needs to be some integrity.
Maybe he should be running the place at least he was honest.

I can reconcile those two points: it means Sheedy should go AND so should the rest of the board.

To a point, it was used as a statement to present a united board, something this rabble hasn't been for months.
Unanimous means all 7 voted in favour. Fully endorsed means after the vote the board endorsed the appointment. Some may same / same but they are slightly different. The vote would be recorded as part of the minutes of the meeting.
They release a statement that says "the board has voted 6 to 1 to appoint Brad Scott". What do you think the focus is going to be on?
Now Sheeds has spoken to Robbo of all people and said he will "support the coach that's been appointed".
Sheeds think he runs the EFC and the board will do what he wants when he wants because he gave Barham the vote he needed to become president. Sorry Kevin's stock standard of playing the messiah card failed this time

Don't know
We lost one assistant have put on 2 new ones. One which everyone is saying is a great get
And BTW Essendon were always paying over the cap after they sacked Rutten.
But whatever
-
What because Truck was on a lot of coin at Essendon. They identified a need and are paying overs. We should be targeting another assistant. Lambert albeit a great addition would cost us not much at all.
Every time we have failed it’s because we have gone soft in this department. If I recall there was conversations between you and myself around 16 about this very topic.
What’s happening to our fitness department as well ? All good now cause we got 2 start midfielders.
You get what you pay for and we saw that this year.

“You can say what you like about him, but he’s done it again Adrian Dodoro,” Fox Footy draft guru Mick Ablett told Fox Footy. “He is a genius when it comes to trade. He’s got up, he’s got his man, he’s basically swapped a pick next to each other and given up a second-rounder.

Calling Dodoro a "genius" :huh3. The past 20 years of no finals wins for Essendon would say otherwise.

Hahahaha I had a massive laugh to myself when I heard that last night. What a very stupid comment to make.
Do we know who that guy on the panel supports?

Doodle a genius?
Have thought a lot about this and have come to the conclusion that he is exactly that
How someone so inept can keep such a senior role for as long as he has, is nothing short of brilliant
Hope he cons that joke of a club for another decade

Not sure, Frankie.
Mick Ablett was on North's rookie list for a year (in 2000) but never played an AFL game. Played with Frankston in the VFL after that before becoming the AFL's national talent manager and then head of the WAFL's colts program and talent pathway.

The annual Essendon preseason love-fest from the media :whistle.

Only a preseason game but it's always fun to see when the annual Essendon over-hyped over summer bubble gets pricked early and Bomber supporters go into meltdown ;D.
Imagine losing your last 2 games by 200 points collectively then fronting up to your first competitive hit out since and losing by another 10 goals.
This list needs to finish stuffn last for the next 5 years and have our current recruiting team marched out immediately along with most of this tainted list.
What I cant stuffn understand is how teams still let us piece together junk wins during the course of a season to prevent us from finishing bottom 3.
Problem is, performances like those affect all players and their confidence…For mine, we do have to try remain calm and see how the team responds down at the Cattery next week. There is no alternative.
But if we’re ■■■■■ again and we get whipped by Hawthorn in R1 then let the debate go feral … Personally I’m as tired as all of us having to witness an insipid EFC bunch out there on the ground.
Well why the f■■■ wasnt our coach there?
What kind of unprofessional rubbish is this club doing.
Its just year after year of strange decisions and im so over it.
