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

I saw things a bit differently. The defence isn’t what it should be without the likes of the Riddler, Red Dog and even Kells. The solidness missing of that trio does makes us vulnerable. Throw in Doc Reid as well, and we are missing a fair chunk of our defensive capabilities. I was stirringly surpri...

Re: Mind your back!!!

One positive that has come out of the initial round is the apparent clamp down on blatant shoves in the back especially in marking duels. A couple of years ago, the appeared to be a softening of this rule and I could not understand what possible good could come of it, or why it was introduced. This...

Humdinger sizzle crisp in the belting sun! Cooked in the stands today, and threw down some cold beverages to cope. Great to have footy back.

I’m hearing 4-6 weeks (according to the fripples on SEN).

It’s a worry that he has history with the quad. Hope it doesn’t become chronic [-o<

Re: Practice match V Saints 23/2/2024

Quite unimpressed with what I saw. Whatever system they are trying to implement, it looks totally dishevelled.

Good to hear Jayden Davey got a run in the VFL.

Re: Injury list 2024 pre season.

Off the top of my head...Tex Wanganeen and Tom Hird. add: a search thru this site mentions Colyer and Pears. So not as many as some might think. Bellcho had it as well IIRC. Could be others. I seem to recall a number of “foot” injuries the have kept players out for an extended time - Stringer one, ...

Re: Contract Status 2024

Gotta stick by these creets. It’s Brad’s 2nd year so we need to allow settlements to take place in regards to new coach dynss as mics and standards.

All are worthy of persistence and contract extensions.
It will be good to see Jayden Davey finally on deck.

Gotta fly… [-X

Re: Greatest Pre-Season Ever

Some good news on the Doc Reid front as he is getting thorough preseason nicely. It’s probably the first time where he’s had consecutive weeks of hard at it workout and is looking good. Here’s hoping it stays that way and he manages to slot himself in the back six with Slasher McKay and The Riddler...
