So the CheatsFC penalty was drafting three of the list that Ling now says are better than ours! ;)

Everything at CheatsFC going back to the start of the Sheedy era is smoke and mirrors, fans should realise that, because I'd assert in that history is the ultimate source of the crook CheatsFC culture, and guess who's back! :o

Sheedy was a master of smoke and mirrors.   There is a lot of discussion on here about the club selling hope (our kids are great, we are ready to launch, the coach is revolutionary),  sheedy was doing all this in the mid 80s, probably 20 years before other clubs were doing it.  I actually admire it.

He could spin any situation Essendons way and make anything into either a possitve Essendon story or create a rivalry, which would increase crowds.  He used the media to skew biases essendons way.

I remember in the late 80s, after the back to back, in a down time, he had the media bluffed that they had a new set of champions coming thru (look at our kids with 50games under their belt, 50 games is the key when they blossom), the media swallowed it, talked them up, and kept the heat off him and the club, didn’t mater that the kids in question were terrible (ed considine, come on down), he spun the media his way and they wrote what he wanted

We hear all this crap about the ‘Baby Bombers’. Compare these figures….
They had six players 22 and under. So did Carlton.
They had 4 , 10 games or less. So did Carlton. 13 of their 16 goals were kicked by players 27 yrs or older. Blues had 15 of 19 kicked by 27 or younger.

We’re in reasonable shape age wise…..


Ling said he’d take their u23s over ours!!

Must have overlooked weitering, Walsh, McKay on the team sheet?? (All potentially all Aus this year)

I think this game has exposed a few players.

Gibbons has lost his edge, he is looking for cheap possessions and not at all strong enough over the football.

Levi is sorely out of form, our SFs would be better to just assume he'll run under the football and drop in behind him.

Pittonet isn't up to it, we've got a 1st game kid giving him a lesson today, Pitto's done more damage to his own team than the opposition.

Cas and H without a touch between them, Cripps with no (positive) impact, being done in the ruck by a kid, a couple of their young forwards playing out of their skin, tippa with 3, cheats being allowed a few passages of running against witches hats.... and we are only down by a kick.    Can’t tell you how

Surely if we fix a few things up at half time......
