Re: Dyson Heppell

How good has this bloke been in the past past of weeks?

Injuries cruelled his career in the key years - he is now showing his class.

Re: Essendon v Melbourne

We couldn't break the game open and they managed to strangle our movement. Poor decision making going forward. Walla and Hooker had shockers. Hooker has stopped to a walk the past couple of games. Sammy Draper got a lesson and dropped marks he should have taken. Gawn did as he pleased at the hit-out...

THIS

Our midfield is too depleted. And, sorry folks, but our defence is still suspect.
Probably......
But if we can get our hands on it first and move it quickly....
Draper and Stringer are mighty in the guts.

Re: Harry Jones pick 30

Tim Watson reckons there's a lot of Neale Daniher about him.... Can't disagree. I thought he said that about Ridley :-k And I kinda agree with that - the coolness, the exceptional reading of play, the ability to make something happen etc Yeah - so hid did..... But he does have that coolness and poi...

Re: Essendon v Melbourne

Just like in 2016.....They might look tired! God I loved that win! Was it this game or the Carlton game when all the players and coaching staff walked down to the Bombers end to thank the fans for the season. i really though I was going to explode that moment!!! The Carlton game was the last game o...

Re: Mid Season Report Card 2021

Great stuff Benny. Have seen every game - but reckon Langford deserves a little more credit. Also, in hindsight, the Carlton and GWS losses are really disappointing. Very average teams. My apologies - that should read haven’t seen every game! To Round 13 we've had 7 interstate games.....be nice to ...

Re: Rd 13 Essendon Vs Dawks

This team has a lot of 92 and 93 (I may I say 82 and 83) about it!

Haven't been as enthused and as proud of our efforts for a couple of decades.
Win, lose or draw - I just want this to continue..

Let's boot this baby home boys!!!!!

That's more than Zerrett. I like Darcy but he's done it for half a season.
Yep - good pick up.
2.75 to 3 for 4 years....

Re: Lost players: the fallout.

Merrett and Parish are proving themselves to be elite. No surprises with Merrett and Parish is finally being played in his right position. Three years of Worsfold held him back. These two are definitely priority signings and the word is that they are both happy and will stay. Amazing what culture, o...

Re: Snelling........???

We missed his forward pressure on Saturday night.

With Walla on one leg for most of the match they were able to set up with ease from their backline and sweep the ball through the middle easily.

He may not be elite - but he offers grunt and real blue collar effort....which is our new DNA.

Re: R12 Essendon v Richmond

Its simple. If you are tackled and had time to dispose of the ball and fail to dispose of the ball by a handball or Kick.(the only 2 means of legal disposal in our game) It should be holding the ball. Not given a consolation prize simply for "attempting" to dispose by calling play on. Add...

Re: R12 Essendon v Richmond

As proud as I was for 3.5 quarters. That last 10 mins was abysmal, we folded badly. Yep. We were dead on our feet. They rallied and got the run, the better of everything, were more composed and experienced...which happens in this gloriously, frustrating indigenous game. 39 points flattered them. Bu...

Re: Podcast

Will give it a crack.

I enjoy ''The Sash'' and ''Lunchtime Catchup'' - particularly when we are winning.
I do miss The Windy Hill Windsock.
