Essendon Rumour Mill

[BenDoolan]

Much as we hate them for that,that must be quite a collector’s item.

Putting aside our hatred of them,Autographs from the likes of Tiger Crosswell,John Nicholls who applied for the Coach’s job in 1980 and Sergio Silvagni would stand out.What about The Coach?

Must we be SO one eyed,Ben?

Who’s your money on,in the Brownlow?

Much as I hate the thought of a Filth or Scim playing winning anything,I might put a $10er On Patrick Cripps!

But If you really doubt my Loyalty to Essendon,like a Bloody Fool,I’ll tip us against the Dorkers this weekend.

As for you,you are joking about getting Lyon to Coach us.Aren’t You?!

Long enough to endure the End of the ‘68 Grand Final to the end of 1980,or possibly Round 6 of 1981.

But I imagine Windy couldn’t have enjoyed much of that,albeit not as long as the current crap period,Daisy.

My uncle played for Carlton in 68. i am well aware of the pain. He gave me a footy signed by the Carlton team from that year....to rub it in

I hope you took it out into the backyard and booted it over the fence Windy?

[grassy1]

Should have sold it last year,50 years on.You’d have made a small fortune then.

Something to that end....regretting it now, probably worth a few bucks

Indeed it would be worth a quid, I would have auctioned it on the scum footy site

Only kidding

Why?

Nicholls thought us worthy of applying for our Coaching Job.So did Jeans!

Just so happens,Sheeds got the job at the end of 1980.And I am glad about that,because I was a big fan of him as a player at Richmond,even though I didn’t barrack for them.

We’d been pretty ordinary for 12 seasons from 1969,but the quality of applicants from the outside thought us worthy of a crack at taking on.I’m pretty much one eyed Essendon mate,to the point I bloody refuse to tip the RoLy Dorkers this weekend to beat us.But sometimes,footy’s not all about us.Gotta get some historical perspective,as much as we hate and detest the result of the ‘68 Grand Final and the Bastards,who jagged it!

[grassy1]

Some interesting threads in that. Each single point could have a whole story devoted to it.

Latest rumour going around....
Woosha's contract has a KPI of making a Prelim this season, and if he doesn't he can be sacked without a payout, and Caracella to coach next year.

According to the son of a possible high-wealth individual that allegedly had dinner with Xavier Campbell and Paul Little last night.

been saying it since Carracella was appointed mid season. Assistant coaches simply dont get headhunted and publicly announced unless there is a deeper understanding that he will take over the head coach role.

[Rover99]

Ok then that means I'll feel much much better after tomorrow's thrashing. Sorry grassy
