There’s precious little focus on the Swans v Pies game tonight, it’s all about Robbos team (Bombers) and their demise . Which is fine.

I watched his address to members early in the year, thought he was hopeless, just clinging to the old "Essendon people" will pull us through mantra, so we'll do an internal review and not upset anybody.
20 years of mediocrity, haven't won a final in that time either, way too much money, way too little ticker - long may it continue.
Footy Classified showed footage of Essendon player Hind ignoring the coach when he went to the bench. He firstly wouldn't sit next to the coach until the coach tapped the seat and called him over to sit down. Not once did Hind look at Rutten...not even when he touched him or when he was talking to him giving him instructions. I thought it was extremely disrespectful. I could not imagine one of our players ever doing that to Longmire.
I thought Buckley's comments on this (on a segment of this morning's Whately show on SEN) were spot on. It's footage taken out of context and it's impossible to draw any conclusions.
I've read elsewhere (on BF) that it's footage from two weeks ago, at the end of a match where they were thrashing North Melbourne, and Hind had just been dragged for giving away a 50m penalty.

When I watch the Essendon saga, I'm just glad we are such a well run club.
They've been aimless for 15-20 years, churned through coaches, concocted a drugs scandal, traded for overpaid duds, sustained that gross under performer in Dodoro, assume they're going to succeed because they're a 'big club', and generally are a hot mess. And now they run, without any due diligence, to Clarko because they're all screaming 'do something!!'. Although I think they have some young talent on their list, I'd be wary as a coach signing onto what that club represents and how it is run. Got Malcolm Blight to the Saints feels for me.
'Delicious' is a fun word to say
Essendon remain my most loathed club, and I couldn’t be happier seeing them in a @@@@ heap.
“Whatever it takes” was such a timely slogan.
