Essendon = Entitlement

There but for the grace of god go us though.

We were very keen to grab him. Thankfully the Bombers stood up to the plate.
We were keen around 2012-14 from memory, but he turned us down to stay at the Giants. Then we tried for Treloar, who chose Collingwood, then we got Dion, who is obviously much better than either of them. Shiel went to Essendon at the end of 2018.

It all went downhill for the Bombers when Dodoro and Sheedy headhunted Ty Zantuck:)

We would have turned him into a good player. All he has learnt from the Giants and the Bombers is to do beach weights and chase easy kicks.

When does Dimma come of contract. Essendon will offer him the world to go home, he's their only chance.
reverse sheedy. Classic shoe is on the other foot situation. Dimma is not the kind of person to fake interest to jack up his deal like Sheedy though.

I think he'd also look at the way Essendum has been run for the last 20 years & say No Way thanks very much.
 
Only 2 ways this now goes… all the attention and negative press galvanises the group and they knuckle down and improve or it results in a full blown implosion… watch this space

Mcgrath has put his contract negotiations on hold. Cracks opening.
And their three big picks from 2020 are the only three players of the top 10 from that draft not yet re-signed by their club.

At least one of them wants a shorter term than the club would prefer.

Trust issues?

Dadoro went after Dunkley in the off season. He certainly has an eye for a player. Although I suspect he gets a lot of his inspiration from playing SuperCoach.

It's funny that an arrogant flog like Ben Simmonds barracks for a club that is renowned of having its own head ups it's ass.
