| great letter, and so true. Johns, Lay**ck, Monfries, Peverill etc are all woefully inadequate as afl footballers, talent is one thing but reproducing that ability time and again is what it's about, and Lay just doesn't, and will never, do that.. But I don't think it's a legitimate dons fan, far too literate.. |

| interesting letter the author seemed to be quite composed. me personally would swear more and just hit below the belt, just my style though. :P but it does raise a fair point. What have some clubs been doing for the last 5 years.??? We all laughed at Carlton , but they seem to be well and truely on the improve. So who's the bigger dill.??? Carlton or some 'others' that have been mid table champions year in year out.?? |

| "Firstly, could you give me some idea of what was going through your mind with your initial match ups? " He was wondering what he would spend his pay check on. |

| Haven't seen too much of Lay *** , but he towelled the eagles up last year. Beat Coxy and Seaby hands down and kicked 3 or 4 goals as well. Lookad a great player to me. How old is he? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just to tell Essendon suppporters here (see kingerik). Not my work, I'm not clever enough! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bit harsh, talk about turning on your own! See, it isn't just a Tigers thing! But Jason Laycok must be the most frustrating player. The boy has game, he just goes missing for long periods of time - weeks in fact! When he turns up he produces some good footy - this is why he's still there, they see what he can do and are scared that they will dump him just as he comes good! |

| part 3- Unfortunately despite whatever you say the reality is we are in more of a world of hurt than my poor receding hairline. The list assembled is not going to be going anywhere in a hurry and despite 5 years of rebuilding weâre in a worse position now than when we started the whole process. Thank goodness for small mercies though. The small mercy is that Melbourne are pretty bad too. Itâs unfortunate that we donât meet them until very late in the year â I have a feeling that might be our next win. I donât say âmight be our next winâ because weâll win one before then, more that thereâs a better than average chance we wonât even beat them! Just in case youâre interested, from my perspective there was at least one positive to come out of yesterday. I went to the Foo Fighters last night and they were pretty solid so I at least managed some entertainment for the day. I got none from the MCG. One last thing before I sign off. Youâre obviously aware that Jonathon Brownâs out of contract at the end of the year. How about we put together a package for him to see if we can prize him off the Lions? Letâs start with Layc.o.c.k, Johns, Watson, Stanton, Dyson, Johnson, Peverill, Monfries, Slattery and even Lloyd at this stage as he couldnât get a kick out of 2,000 volts. When theyâre not interested in that, tell them we could even offer them a lazy $2 mil on the side as well. That might at least get them to stop laughing. Then ask them who else theyâd like and give them away too as the cherry on top. At the end of the day, I have no say in what goes on. All I can do is protest in my own way. Iâm not happy, not impressed and not attending another game this year. Yours in football,J***** S****** |

| part 2 - Courtney Johns â do I even need to say anything or did the article in todayâs Age just sum it up? Another who should never play for Essendon again. Cut your losses. He should be embarrassed to earn money for that performance. He should be offering to pay Essendon back for the money heâs thieved off them over the last four years. Just to add insult to injury heâs not an attractive man and really doesnât have a lot going for him. Jobe Watson â also known as the Butcher. I do like the fact that Jobe at least has a go but his skill and pace are deplorable. Do you think thereâs a reason why he gets 30 touches a game? The opposition coaches donât bother manning up on him as they want us to use him. They know that heâll turn the ball back over to them more than half the time. Trade bait. Brent âThe Running Manâ Stanton â he might run all day but he couldnât run quickly out of sight on a dark night and he only knows how to run one way. Generally itâs away from the ball when the opposition have it. Or around the back of a mark or free kick to get a cheap kick and rack up a few stats. Itâs a slight on every Victorian that heâs been included in the state squad. The worst culprit in our disgusting lack of defensive nous. And probably just nous in general â heâs got less awareness in traffic than a Moroccan mini cab driver. Have you got the barbie fired up yet Matthew? Cos thereâs plenty more chops we can throw on it. Ricky âSleeps With The Light Onâ Dyson, Jason âShould Have Been Traded Last Yearâ Johnson, Damien âBack In The 2âs Where I Belongâ Peverill, Angus âToo Small, Too Slow, Too Sheetâ Monfries, Henry âThe Hackâ Slattery. I wonât continue on but letâs just say I hold grave fears for the crippling lack of ability shown by any number of other players on our list. |

| I received this letter in an email today in PDF form so I dont know how true it is. It had a name address membership and mobile number. I deleted all because I have not verified. Bit rough. Essendon Football Club Attn: Matthew Knights PO Box 17 ESSENDON VIC 3040 Dear Matthew, RE: Essendon Football Club Membership 3057** Iâve had occasion to write to your predecessor over the years and I must say that I feel as though I became a close confidant of Sheeds. He came to me when he needed someone to tell things exactly as they see them. And I didnât mince my words, Matthew, I gave it to him straight. You havenât needed me yet, but after the insipid debacle and abysmal coaching performance I unfortunately endured yesterday, I thought you might need a few home truths. Firstly, could you give me some idea of what was going through your mind with your initial match ups? Johns on Pendlebury? Michael on Lockyer? Windydick on Medhurst? One could only assume that you had a piece of the Pies at 73+ with TAB Sportsbet. I must say I appreciate that youâre attempting to introduce a fast attacking style of football. But I think what you donât get is that you canât do that with the muppets still on our list - a) they have to be quick, b) they have to be able to sustain that quickness for more than 30 minutes and c) it helps if they donât call for the saw dust when they get the ball. Letâs take a look at a few of my favourites: Jason Layc.c.o.c.k â 5 years for 50 possessions. I wouldnât call that a great return on investment. He is a big, lumbering, useless dope. He just plain doesnât care. Sally Robbins has more of a go than this dud. Remember that Aussie classic David Williamsonâs The Club? Lay.c.o.ck is Geoff Hayward. Iâd actually get him drug tested just to ensure he hasnât seen any golden winged seagulls. He should never play for Essendon agai ... |
