Seriously. f***!

Why not Shiel?

You're making it up as you go BD

I doubt we will be playing a percentage style of game. Every game has been tight. I can’t imagine next week will be any different. Spot on MH. Our game is built around shutting down the opposition. Not around us being high scoring. We have a defence-first game plan, not an offence-based one. In my ...

Selectors nightmares are looming for the back 6. Ridley will be a definite when he's ready. Reid maybe too as his height could be invaluable. McKay won't drop out. McGrath won't drop out. Redman won't drop out. Martin won't drop out. That leaves Kelly, Heppell, Cox and Laverde. Cox has Duursma's sp...

Probably Caddy's best game so far, but he needs to repeat that for several weeks before he's a chance at AFL level.
Same goes for Jayden Davey.

Gonna have to edit this again BD. Draper is goneski

Draper pulled up sore after training today (again). Even though yesterday the club said he'd be a "test" for this week. The club has said “After consultation with the medical team this afternoon, the club will seek further specialist advice in the coming days to decide the next steps. The ...

Who gets to put the brakes on the Harley. After Caldwell’s job on the Bont, he would get my vote HR Stats. 5 kicks 2 clearances. I don’t think we even tagged him!!? Nah. Reid had 14 disposals, 5 tackles and 2 clearances. It’s true though. He only had 5 kicks :wink: Oh, true that. Didn't have my &qu...

Nah.
Reid had 14 disposals, 5 tackles and 2 clearances.

We just don’t win easy. We had a 9 day break, they had 6. Should Jones have played? Davey needs a spell. Thank goodness for Zed! Jones - 3 Kicks, 3 HP with 3 clangers - clearly gunshy Davey - 2 Kicks, 2 HB, 1 tackle. with 1 clanger. Spent 41% of the time on the bench. You could argue he had an exte...

I haven't watched the presser yet, but apparently Brad said Caldwell reported tightness and was subbed purely as a precautionary measure, but he's fine and will play next week.
Translation: In the EFC injury parallel universe, it means he'll be out for 3 weeks.

Yay we won.
That's it.

Votes: 3 - Cripps, for reversing the kick to Waterman.

Why the heck is Weideman an Emergency???
Anyone??

Try to beat that you lot!

Many fans speculating he's not playing this week as punishment - rather than the alleged injury.
But apparently he was seen after last week with a bandage on his knee, and he hasn't trained this week.
On clever wag suggested they ought to have put a bandage over his mouth too!!

This is in relation to Champion Data… ”Jade Gresham has been a great pickup for Essendon, hats off to the Bombers. He's the biggest improver," Hoyne began. "He's gone from 222nd in the comp to 33rd. Now I have no idea how Champion Data works, but Gerard Healy was raving about it tonight o...
