In breaking news, it appears that a 19th team will join the AFL, after the Gold Coast Suns join in 2011, and Greater Western Sydney join in 2012. As reported in today’s Herald Sun, it appears that the new team will be called “Essdeon”, which defeated St Kilda last night – (must have been a [...]
In what is likely – (unfortunately) – to turn into one of those messy “nobody wins” situation, two players from AFL club St Kilda have been accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a schoolgirl – who also claims she is pregnant as a result of the relationship(s). Pregnant Schoolgirl Claims She Had Sex [...]
Well, Jeff Kennett is flapping his gums once again, and is displaying his carefully convenient memory – especially when it comes to the defection of former Hawthorn CEO Ian Robson to Essendon. Kennett Says Robson ‘Wasn’t Totally Focused on Doing His Job’ In today’s media, Kennett states that: Ian came to me at the beginning [...]
Three words – “Essendon defeated Carlton”. Kyle Reimers even had a chance to point out the condition of the scoreboard to Dennis Armfield, who felt it was a good idea to give Reimers a mouthful, even after kicking the match sealing goal!
History channel time again, and a flashback to AFL Round 3, 2004. After publicly slamming the performance of a particular umpire in the media the previous week, superstar James Hird was under the spotlight from all corners of the football world. But champions know how to respond, and in an astoundingly intense game of football, [...]
Although pretty corny (really), here’s another classic snippet I’ve recovered out of my old video collection. On the Wednesday evening after the 1993 AFL Premiership win, here is captain Mark Thompson becoming the “Mayor of Essendon” for the day. Also included is some great footage of the boys lining up for the official team portrait. [...]
Great. Geelong won the AFL Grand Final on the weekend. Kudos. Congratulations, and well done. As an Essendon supporter – and having seen my team win four times in my lifetime – I know the joy the fans are feeling right now. Celebrate, absolutely. However, the “media” in this town just never seem to have [...]
So Hawthorn’s Campbell Brown thinks Matthew Lloyd is a “sniper” hey? As ridiculous and contradictory as he made himself sound in comparing Saturday’s incident with that of teammate Lance Franklin the week before – an almost identical incident – and refusing to concede that they were similar, perhaps Campbell should look in his own backyard. [...]
I have no voice. I got soaking wet. Do you think I care? Nope! Two weeks ago we defeated Carlton – yesterday, we defeated Collingwood. That’s a pretty satisfying year already. David Zaharakis kicks the winning goal with 4 seconds left on the clock. Nice. EDIT: 9 May 2009: Just took a capture from the [...]
Essendon have one mission during an season – beat Carlton. Once again, last Saturday, they did just that. I need to say nothing more than: “Superb!”
