If there is a big clean out happening does that mean Buckley is on his way.

They didn't even have to go on a camp!
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Whenever Adelaide take the mantle for Australias most embarrassing sporting franchise Esssendon scream.....hold my beer.

Those two clubs are in a league of their own.

Need to get some of the cronies out that have been long term power brokers. Should have happened years ago.

I vote Jim for Essendon board of directors.

Mainly as I want to see the term 'pea heart' in an official press release.

Madden and Brasher both have resigned from the board immediately.
Both were from the faction that lost and obviously don’t want to pull in the direction required.
Finance director Peter Allen will step down after the AGM in December, no doubt he is off to Rio ;)

Can't go too hard in one clean sweep, need to break it up gradually.

I admire you Jimbob, it must be a tough gig speaking on behalf of all of the Bombers supporter on here.

At least Dutchy has Spargo to help him out.

Nah, it’s all good. We deserve all the barbs thrown our way. The club has been mismanaged for far too long
