Matty Knights will turn us around

Hi all,
Welcome to Big Daddy's first blog on footyonice, blogging Ben Cousins style (minus the police chases and the tacky tattoos).

Being the avid Essendon supporter that I am, my allegiances lie with whoever is in charge of this great club. Having only served under Sheedy for my entire life, I know no different - was the time right for a change, only time will tell - but in my mind Matty Knights was an inspired choice.

How have I reached this conclusion? Well every Essendon supporter that I have spoken to is resigned to the fact that we'll be no good in 08 and that Knights will lead a sinking ship. My philosophy is, why follow like sheep, I'm gunna be a shepherd and say that Knights will take us to the top eight and we will prove an admirable challenger in the first week of September.

Rarely do opportunities present in my life when I can say that I was right and the majority of the population was wrong - if we're crap it'll be a case of "I told you so..." So I'm going out on a limb, Knights will turn this club around - and I'll be the only one saying "I told you so..."

So Mr Jackson sign up Knighter for years, we're back.

If only I can convince myself.......
