To be honest I blame Scott. We are trying to implement a game plan that seems to be easy to breakdown. Once Port went man on man we didn’t trust our players to win a contest. For a start can we get back to some footy basics. Forwards GET IN FRONT and lead. Tackle with intent Tag the opposition best ...

To be dropped:

Parish, Cox, Menzie

To be moved from backline: Martin

That was rubbish. We will slaughtered next Friday.

Those on big contracts better start earning their dough.

3. HEPPELL

We looked a bit gun shy and timid in the first half. Couldn’t hit the side of barn. Very very happy with grit and determination to put their collective bodies on he line and refused to give up. I think we really did see the Essendon edge in the last quarter. Heppell , McGrath were bloody good in the...

What I want this week is Essendon Edge x 100. I want a take no prisoners approach to our footy all year. I want Marvel full to brim with Bomber supporters who want to see that hard edge we’ve been known for in the past. I want to stick it right up the AFL for continuing to use our club as the test c...

Exactly. Even Redman last week should have been challenged for insufficient force. Brad Scott thinks he’s still working for the AFL. We should used the same biomechanics experts as Collingwood used to get Maynard off and the same lawyers Carlton used to get Cripps off. We gave up without a whimper. ...

Well let's gets so same biomechanic experts in gor Peter Wrights defence.

He effectively had less time than Maynard.

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 t...

We are having a crack. That’s a good thing.

Some players are doing very nicely a couple are as dodgey as all f***.

Hind and Heppell are are way too loose.

Not convincing in the first half but I really liked how we dug in and did some better tackling and pressurising in the second half. Hawks are not that ordinary even with their injuries. They knocked off a number of good side last year. Had a very enjoyable day and it’s ALWAYS good to beat the Hawks....

Looking buffed is my man Menzie

I’m okay with Todd Goldstein coming over to Bomberland. He’s a damn good ruckman and he can teach Draper and Bryan a thing or two.

Why would you get rid the one guy in the entire club other than Menzie, who knows how to kick the football accurately?

1. Dodoro will be Goneski

✔

My reply to their price hike email! Seriously? 9% That's twice the inflation rate. You've got to be joking. This is an absolutely ridiculous decision. Bomber fans have stuck fast for the last 22 years and been very disappointed out the lack of team success. After the finish we had to the season thos...

Very happy about Kaine Baldwin is getting another year.

Now bloody well play him.

The guy can kick the footy. Something we sorely need.

Back GWS. They can beat the lot of them.

That ain’t going to be happening next year. 1. Dodoro will be Goneski 2. Ultimatums to players about their condition and conditioning are unconditional. I get the impression Scott has said shape up or ship out. He needs to channel his inner mongrel as he was as player and harden up the list 3. If we...

The important news is My Man Menzie is staying.

Should have got 2 years. Offer him 3 next year if he gets even better which he will.

A tough game and well won by our Bomber girls.

Loved Sophie Alexander's work today.

Paige Scott tried to take the best hanger of all time on a number of occasions.
