In surprising news Hille has been appointed skipper for the rest of the season in view of Lloyd's injury.Would have thought the Bombers had better options.Hille has been very inconsistent & I think has just come back from suspension.
 
I admire the way Sheeds thinks outside the square and the whole committee had the gonads to go for a youngster.

On that note, I hope we beat the *smile* out of them.
 
Sheedy regards Hille very highly.  

As for alternatives, of the senior players, the Johnsons are both out of form, Mark Johnson is probably out of favour as well, MacPhee, Lucas and Fletcher probably don't want the job and Hird probably doesn't either.  Peverill is struggling for a game and Rioli would be just a silly appointment.

Who is left? Hille? MacVeigh? Bolton?

Hille , it is!
 
Bit wierd. Hille is OK, has his moments, but not captain material. I thought Lucas was an obvious choice. But both say a lot about Ess slide.

Yeah thats fair enough, but it has to be a champion youngster, Judd, deledio, Ball etc, Hille doesn't wash with me.

Agree,would have thought Lucas a better choice.
 
Hird hands the reigns to Louganis then onto  Hille.Pretty much sums up the Bombers demise.

Happy dayze.

:hula

Agree.
But who cares and why has this been posted here? :hihi

Get stuffed. ;D
mb's thread not your post prettyboy. ;)
It's about Essendon not the Tiges but still I suppose it makes a change from a Hawks thread.
 
and we better watch him - he can be very damaging in the goalsquare on his day
Sheedy does these things to bring the best out of people, also takes the pressure off Hird who will probably destroy us
