Was there too - restored my faith in the club and the steps it is taking, direction it is heading. Gotta love Greg Westaway & his clever quips throughout!

Not unexpected, but still very sad news... RIP

"He's also making them (unusually) all attend the AGM, where the nature of the bollocking they're going to get will be outlined... apparently." Good move by Westaway and the club! Hopefully the members who attend absolutely give it to the playing group and show them a taste of reality. Th...

Zac is one of my favourites but gotta say, feel really disappointed and kinda let down by this...

Zac & Jack share a house - with Bakes! Following Bakes' & Zac's tweets, you get to realise they give Jack a lot of sh*t about his preferred movie selections and say that he is a baby!

You talkin' about Dash there, Eastern?

Picked up my copy from the club at lunchtime today - looking forward to some Christmas reading!

I really hope they do arrive by christmas because if they dont its going to cost me more money on buying them somthing else because the membership department has failed on their promise of having them before christmas. My friends family are all Essendon members and their membership packages have ar...

So's BJ...

Funny Maxstar - I feel the same way as you! As a 3rd generation supporter, all I can say is that it's in the blood. It's like family - you pretty much support them no matter what! And given pretty much my whole extended family supports them, it also becomes a family thing - a common ground, somethin...

Reckon it's Schneids too - obviously an MCG game, so that cuts out Geelong mid season (Roo didn't play) and Coll as we were wearing away guernsey. Perhaps 2nd qualifying final against Geelong - Schneids was wearing the 'skins' in that game...

So basically, the same questions that they asked last year!

Bad luck Calais. Jim Stynes tweeted yesterday that he is overseas at the moment having some radical treatment that is appparently going well, so perhaps he will be out of action for a while. Maybe there is someone else Reach can put you in touch with - Jules Lund? (who made his doco)

The filth are not better than us.

I agree with this - some days everything works, others it doesn't. It was just one of those days...

Had a Bulldogs stirrer hang a Magpies 2010 premiers poster above his desk where I had to see it when I walked in. Kept very quiet all day (those I work immediately with are great) but this Bullflog w*nker came in and tried to start an argument - I yelled at him that it wasn't his team and he could p...

I thought we wanted pace - a reason why Lions are keen to trade him is he's too slow!

I would say he just means for the season!

Ha ha - that's exactly what I'm doing! Just downloaded a whole heap of faves - fingers crossed it keeps me going for a while!

Thanks Rooey - ditto!

Never a truer word spoken... I'm still on board.

I'll be there. Like others, felt a bit of 'closure' going last year, and definitely need that today.

Feel gutted, shattered, tired. BUT, this club is family, and you stand by them through thick and thin. That's what STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY is all about. No one said it was going to be easy...

Article in today's Australian: "The Magpies have won 14 premierships, but have also lost 25 grand finals, including 10 of its past 12 tilts at the windmill, thus giving the English language the word Colliwobbles: to choke in a grand final. It has also played in two drawn grand finals, last week...

Well done DSG!!!

And as everyone else said, what a GREAT omen for tomorrow!!!!

Having been born the year of our only (so far!) premiership and living interstate as a child not returning to the 'southern states' until mid 70s, most of my life I have only known St Kilda as a cr*p team. Teenage years in Canberra where only the best game was shown on a Saturday afternoon (never us...
