Re: Round 3: Ess vs St Kilda

Ins: Parish, Redman, Caddy, Kelly Outs: Wright (susp), Hind, Menzie, Davey Hobbs for the subs vest. Though he didn't set the world on fire on the SCG. Menzie had a shocker in Sydney... 6 possessions at 16% accuracy I doubt Parish will be available. Hamstring awareness 1 week ago. Caddy did very lit...

Re: The Club is a Toilet

This club keeps on producing shit. Why the f*** would Peter Wright plead GUILTY to his charge? Did the club advise him??? If that’s the case, the club can GAGF for being a completely weak, shit of a joint. All I know is, if this were Collingwood, they would go into today with all guns blazing tryin...

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

The same tranche of pundits that spewed out ad infinitum about Maynard “what else could he do?” have turned into hanging judges on Peter Wright. If you look at both incidents in normal motion , if you say Maynard had no other choice and had to brace you also must conclude that Wright had 1/100 the ...

Re: Essendon VFL 2024

Wow… if anyone thinks we have depth… it’s as deep as a puddle. Check my past comments. I've said for a long time - we have talent a mile wide but only an inch deep. And....we'll never be a real threat until our VFL side is competitive. That said, the result isn't as bad as it looks. We didn't have ...

Brad Scott addressed that during the week.
Says they got legal advice, looked at all possibilities, but there was no chance of winning at appeal.
Mostly because the rules state clearly that it's graded as "intentional".

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

Kicking (and even attempted kicking) is a dogs act. How they can possibly not get heavy handed on this is beyond me. Agree totally. Funny (not funny) thing though....I did a bit of googling for past kicking offences. And there's been a couple over the last few years or so, and all handed fines. Ver...

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

Essendon is not appealing/challenging Redman's 1 match ban for striking. But Hawthorn is challenging Sicily's ban for kicking. WTF? And just to put the cherry on top - Reid has a hamstring tear. Severity to be determined. I guess this means that Jones is likely to stay in the team.... with Langford...

Re: The back six.

I’m not a fan of Marto in defence. To me, it’s stupid having a guy with natural flair and skill to win the ball, create space, then nail passes or goals with precision, sitting in defence. Throw Duursma back there for drying out loud. Marto is a far better offensive player than XD. I have my doubts...

Re: 2024 Round 1. EFC v Hawks.

Harry Jones woefully out of sorts. Just needs to play games and get back his mojo. I reckon Harry is worth a shot. His first season was great but he seems to have become a bit lost. I reckon he should lead more and not just focus on flying in the big packs as he is not strong enough yet. Leave that...

Re: 2024 Round 1. EFC v Hawks.

Happy to take the win. Probably lucky in some respects - if Hawks had kicked straight we'd have been out of it before 3/4 time. Some good individual performances, but worrying that some of the "team" stuff looked just like the last few years - especially defensive transition - even though ...

Re: 2024 Round 1. EFC v Hawks.

My fingers are crossed for Jones and Reid. Not only to play well, but to avoid injury. Jones is in his 5th year and will play his 32nd game. Reid is in his 4th year and will play his 8th game. Time to repay the faith. Well Jones made it through without injury. Did nothing but didn't get injured. Re...
