It's a farce the no.1 pick and tanking. The bottom 10 should be allocated numbers 1 to 10, with 18th being no.1 and 9th being no.10. From there a horse race at Stony Creek with a field of 10 is identified. The winning horse number gets no.1 pick in the draft, the last place horse number gets pick 10.
Whoops, there goes another year. Whoops, there goes another pint of beer.

If i didn't love Port Adelaide so much, Essendon would 100% be my team on the back of my weekend,

It commenced with SAPN clients taking me to the Essendon function upstairs at the Rydges (Southpark) On stage was Kevin Sheedy, Mark Harvey, Bomber Thompson, Dustin Fletcher and Nick Cox. Sheedy was in some fine form, been at a Richmond reunion all day then flew to Adelaide he was on fire, Fletcher and Bomber spoke really well and Mark Harvey told a few great yarns. They sang the Essendon song and i stated it'll be the last time you freaks hear that for the weekend, Harvey hears me say it and laughs, comes over to me i says i instantly like you, that was quite funny.

Harvey, Fletcher and Bomber then come over and has multiple beers on our table, i was in form (had a fair day on the piss) i proceeded to tell Fletcher i'd kick 8 on him for something to do, Bomber was very level headed but everytime Harvey spoke i'd rip in to him about getting sacked twice and once by Freo! It was all light hearted banter, at which stage they started going back at me! They then asked where i was heading after the show, i replied the casino, we'll meet you there Harvey says.

I get to the Casino and sure enough they rock up, massive night singing dancing and carrying on as you do, at 5.30am i call it, Lads, I've have to go i've got SAPN clients in our corporate box tomorrow. Harvey says 'what's ya box number? I'll pop in with a couple of the lads' i thought yeah yeah, I'm sure you will but told him the number and said my goodbyes and left. I get to the box about 11.45am Sunday morning (severely under the weather) within 10 mins they all rock up, (except Bomber they couldn't find him! lol :lol: ) Sheedy had commitments couldn't stay, Fletcher stayed 3x 1/4's and Harvey stayed literally the whole game and it was full on banter, we stood drinking all day talking shit and ripping in to each other, i loved it.

Absolutely ripping blokes, I couldn't speak higher of any of them. throughout the night and day they told some amazing stories yet were all extremely humble and great blokes to talk too.

Who knows where Red Dog plays in 2024, wherever it is he's going to have a very good Christmas and maybe a few more down the track.

I think he stays. Sounds like the group really like Brad and there does seem to be some signs of stability at the club which is rare.
Whatever he does though will net him a very pay day

We have changed logos before just as every other club has. Don’t have a issue with it as long as the final product is ok.
I’d rather win games than worry about a logo TBH

I read that it was under review whether a wartime bomber is how they want Essendon to be represented

Just tell people it's a peace time bomber and everyone will be happy.

What did they have before this one?

“At the centre of the planning for the future is the new headquarters,” John Olsen said.

“This is about cementing the Adelaide Football Club as a destination Club, rebuilding towards finals with an excellent culture and a great player and member facility."

Any coincidence this comes a day after the Crows announce Murray is out with an ACL for 12 months.
