Re: Round 3: Ess vs St Kilda
Well, if Weideman cannot crack the team with Wright missing, he may as welll climb into the skip bin right now. Not even an emergency. He just needs a bit of luck and continuity. Form and confidence will follow. good ol blind windy hille. weideman is horrible. hes been horrible at melbourne and not...

Re: The Club is a Toilet
It has been moving towards the outcome, rather than the action, determining the penalty for a few years now. Cunningham was knocked out, stretchered off and immediately subbed out. So Tribunal and big penalty. I’ll ask again… what if Wright collided with Gresham and the same outcome occurred. Would...

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 ...

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.

The latest from Brad Scott. According to the Herald Sun. Essendon coach Brad Scott backing long term stability over short term thinking to return Bombers to finals success. Matthew Lloyd has feared Dons fans could ‘tear down Windy Hill’ without finals wins soon but coach Brad Scott says he prefers ...

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, ...

Looking forward to seeing how they look in match condition.

Re: Injury list 2024 pre season.
Is it me or are we just having an unusually high incidence of navicular injuries at the club? Are boots made out to be what they need to be? This injury never existed in the past (to my knowledge). Boots in the ye ol’ days were built for pounding the pigskin. Today, they go for the pizzzazz look of...
