Didn’t Stew Crameri go to the Bulldogs abs play in some finals there?

Was a bit of a bulldozer the ol Crammaaa. A bench pressing hulk.

Played in one final, but it was a loss.

But if it wasn’t for the 12 month ban, he would have played in a premiership!

The bitter taste of Emu Export, will make this list go down,…..badly.

Totally forgot about that part (missing on the Doggies year).

The ones that go are fine. It’s the ones that stay that’s the problem.

We did.

The bleeter! Had a moment to consider but went with a snap on hunch to Brizzy.

Could quite possibly be the best decision of his life.

What was that issue he had at Bomberland? Something in regards to Covid??? Perhaps the mishandling of that was the reason he left in the first place?

Miss his dash and fizz out of defence

Joe Daniher and Conor McKenna into a Granny.

Hopefully both of them have premiership medallions in 7 days time.

Good luck to them both.

Sort of makes me sick our club wasn’t an environment that could keep them around.

One of my faves was Irish. Go well bleeter!

Same for Jumping Joe Dan.

You have to laugh and applaud the story

Joe Daniher - a product of Essendon royalty (and success)… couldn’t wait to get out of the joint for whatever the reason. I say the club f***** him around with injury (which player hasn’t suffered in the hands of our shitness in this area), while some say it was his laziness and poor attitude. The evidence suggests that he was just sick of the joint. He is the one that left, the club didn’t boot him out. His body has stood up in the Lions Den, he doesn’t appear lazy, and he’s playing in a Granny next week


Conor McKenna - a bloke who got fed up with the role he was playing within the team, was pissed off with public outcry of his COVID case (despite it being a false positive), and the lack of support the club gave him. Gets the hell out of the place to return home and win a premiership in Gaelic football. Then returns to AFL - and dodge the Tulla Toxic Tip to get to Brisvegas. Helps them get into a Granny with a good, solid performance in the Prelim

McKenna was excellent last night. And Joe looked pretty good too!

A lesson to all ambitious young kids on our list. Leave Bomberland and find a home elsewhere where you’ll thrive and have success.

I’m looking at you Harrison Jones, Zach Reid, and Nik Cox. Don’t continually put your bodies through the Hangar Hamburger Mincer. Leave before your careers are ruined for good. Go to a precessional club, get yourselves right, and enjoy September.

Thrilled to see the pair of them side by side on the bench. The Irishman played a blinder and Joe must have had his arse kicked at quarter time as he probably realised there is more to winning a Prelim than strutting around chewing gum with the occasional head toss.
Breaks my f***'n heart!!!

You left out Perkins. He's on the precipice.

Might have to add Patrick Voss and Massimo D’Ambrosio to the list soon…
