So instead of Bonts & Crameri, we would have had Dom Sheed (11), Crameri & Zac Merrett (26)

Bonts is a special talent, but that wouldn't have been too bad

It would be if we had to watch Bont play for the Bombers and wish we had him!

I had a magical plan to marry Jen Hawkins after wooing her with my charismatic persona and devilish good looks but then I woke up.

You should keep a note pad and pencil next to the bed.

I was fuming when I read this pile of garbage. Another story how the masterminds at Essendon could have, should have. Essendon believe that McCartney was interested? Of course they bloody did! The lowly Dogs will bow down to the great Bombers and give it all to them. They're delusional!

Hey Jay Clark you probably stop in here from time to time to get some info for your pathetic articles in that piss poor excuse for a newspaper. How about writing something more about how successful we've been hitting the draft over the last few years? Simon Dalrymple is the man behind it all, maybe he should get some recognition once in a while.

I'm giving myself a pat on the back for not using the F word in this post because I bit an Essendon's supporters head off for carrying on about this and how unlucky they are. I hate that club more than anything I can possibly imagine.

Are you sure? I think he said Fyfe.

Yeah - he definitely said Fyfe. Bonts name only came up when Bevo was talking about the type of attributes of Fyfe's that Bont could add to his game. By the sounds of it, the conversation happened before Bont was in the league.

What a rubbish article - IMO absolute garbage to think we were trading pick 4 for Crameri

Re: How Essendon lost the chance to draft Marcus Bontempelli

What a load of bunk.
My favourite part of the whole thing, is the man who cost them all those picks is still senior coach. It's nuts.

Re: How Essendon lost the chance to draft Marcus Bontempelli

Exactly right. They lost a first and second round pick 2 years ago and lost a second round pick last year and had their first pick bumped down a few places. To suggest two 19 year olds, and an 18 year old picked in the 30's, would be making them more competitive is about relevant to where they're at as whether Demetriou tipped off Essendon about an imminent drugs investigation. It's a pimple on the arse of the actual issue.

But one of those 19 year olds is the Bont - he'd make any team competitive. He's copping a tag as a 19 year old!

The funniest part of this whole thing is the Essendon supporters on Facebook who actually believe they're better off with Zac Merrett than Bonti.

I just want him now so all my Essendon mates melt.

I'm beginning to think the Geelong 2007 premiership was brought about by talent first and foremost, rather than intellectual forethought:

Cameron Mooney said in his Geelong Advertiser column this week that Carlisle had the “sooks” and was suffering from horrible body language.

Poor old Jake, crippled by body language and the "sooks". I can imagine one of those home renovation charity shows going around to Jake's house in a warm and heartfelt effort to help him deal with his sooks and paralysing body language. Jake's quote would be, "thanks for fixing my bathroom and installing an outdoor woodfired pizza oven, I'm sure to forget about my sooks and poor body language now, even though they are the major aspects of my professional career that are holding me back".

OK, I've indulged myself enough.

Is the wood fired pizza oven in the new bathroom? If I could just ask this one indulgence.

Who am I to get in the way of dreams. The bathroom can of course be outside with a pizza oven as its main feature.
