Well, it is true that the majority of coaching staff at Essendon didn't like Lovett. IMO this to me explains his lack of votes. As for brownlow votes, Essendon had an ordinary year and didn't win many games, it is not often that players from losing sides poll particularly well. I am not saying that ...

Well i ended up watching the boys train even though I only planned to visit the shop. Not too much to report..there were only 8 of us there watching! They did basic drills for half the session, just basic kicking star drills, Lenny, King and Baker didn't take part but were there. - Bakes just ran l...

Ross Lyon did recruit Lovett yes, so lets all shoot him down because he can't see into the future. :roll: Lovett is the fool and fool alone here. If there is one person we should be blaming here, it is Lovett. At different environments players can change. We thought we could do to Lovett what we did...

2001 hey... not much thankfully! I remember meeting a tall blonde boy and his extra tall mate at family day..new kids on the block.. got their autographs while everybody else seemed to leave them alone..they were a couple of unknowns but easy access so eh, why not say G'day. Who knew they'd be what...

Are training sessions open again now?

2005 holds one of my ultimate favourite memories. Round 22 v Brisbane. Milney was amazing kicking 11 goals and it was incredible to chant his name with the rest of the stadium. I've even moved the game to DVD and had it signed. And as much as people say 11 goals is no big deal when we won by 139 poi...

Congrats Milney and family Hope all is well.

1995-97: Nicky Winmar 1998-2001: Robert Harvey 2002-current: Stephen Milne Pffft. Given the last name on your list, I assume you go and live on a kibbutz for a month at the end of August. Hard to split Roo and Lenny. I'd almost turn for them. Ah no i have attended every home final since 2004 includ...

1995-97: Nicky Winmar 1998-2001: Robert Harvey 2002-current: Stephen Milne So what did Harves do wrong to make you jump ship :wink: He didn't do anything wrong- Milney just came along! Harves was always loved and still is. I think Harvs was pretty much everyone's favourite in a way just because of ...

Grammy's best game was definitely the Grand Final without a doubt. He really stood up and surprised me a bit, i hope this brings him some confidence and he continues to improve. He's been a great pickup and the Lions could have really used him now. Oh well bad luck, you could say we owe them one - m...

No surprises there. I'd be interested in seeing the top 10.

Ah 2002, arguably the last year of our real ordinary years. 5 wins and a draw, although two of those wins were against the Blues which I guess you could call a highlight of the year given how few there were. As for the draw - I remember Milne kicked a ripper that I was sure to be the sealer.. only t...

I'm not really feeling as though the "Milne has been figured out by better opponents and isn't strong enough to compete against bigger bodies" argument is entirely true. Maybe 2-3 years ago, but not now. In the Grand Final, the biggest game of the year against the toughest opposition, he d...

Yep, huge Ross fan from day one. Partly well ok 100% due to the fact he took Milney off the trade table. But i've remained a fan ever since. He's taken us places and really should be the 2009 Premiership coach if not for inaccurate kicking which he had no control over. I like how he demands the best...

Yep every time i walk past Geelong supporters at work. Every time i walk past the AFL store and see all the navy and white and think damn those lucky b@stards..and then it suddenly hits you where you get this massive wake up call where you're like hang on a minute..that was against the Saints. Blood...

I don't really know if "going missing" is the correct term when he had 3 goal scoring opportunities. What is clear is that he missed these opportunities. It's a matter of whether you can go in to a game when you know a player suffers the anxiety that goes with these high pressure situation...

I said that's what i would be most likely to attend - because it's the truth.. If i'm going to fly interstate then i'm going to go to the after match function - provided we win!

Eagles- Wee girls/ weagles
Hawks - dorks
swans - swines
pies - fagpies/ maggots/ *inster most insulting name you can think of here*
blues- carlscum/ scum/ wogs
cats - girlong
freo- poofs/ shockers
port/ adelaide- ferals

They're all lame but i've enjoyed using them over the years

I've said it before and i'll say it again. When you don't get on with the head coach and others it makes it hard to stick around. Just look at the Best and Fairest results for a hint. Tell me how exactly Lovett, Essendon's 2nd best player imo and definitely top 5, did not finish top 10 in Essendon'...

When you don't get on with the coach and other head coaches at the club I think that plays a big part.
Welcome to the Saints Lovett, I hope you, Ross and the boys create something special.
