Brandon Zerk-Thatcher or Ambrose for Hurley and both if Hooker isn’t right. Apart from Raz, who hasn’t been himself, who would you drop for Heppell. Seriously any player from the game on Saturday would be stiff to be dropped. We actually looked pretty mobile and speedy against North. Woosha gave so...

Hope the opposition tactics guy isn't too pissed off at being shunted out of the place...

Who?

"Opposition strategy coach" Rob Harding is "leaving" at the end of the year. As is our Forward coach Paul Corrigan.

Next year they are likely to be even lower - If you look at the age profile of the club, many of their key performers are at the end of their careers Age (* = birthday later this year so will add 1 year) 34 - McVeigh 33 - Grundy 32 - Jack 31 - Franklin, Smith, Kennedy 29 - Sinclair*, Rampe 27 - Menz...

Right. The team is in the 8 (at 8th), a game clear of Port and a game and % clear of the Doggies I expect port to lose next week (to rich at home) but the doggies to win (against the Saints) Same number of wins as Crows and GWS but way behind both of them on % - would anticipate GWS to lose next wee...

OUT: M. Hurley, O. Fantasia IN: B. Zerk-Thatcher, W. Snelling Time to give Razz a rest. Whatever is going on, just let him sit it out for a week or two. He has been ‘absent’ for 4 solid weeks now. I’d like both B. Zerk and Snell to get a game this week. Both debut on their home turf so to speak. Al...

Nods to Saad (massive last half) and Z Clarke (played OK [much better than anticipated] but got bigly outplayed by Goldy).

It didn't need to be that hard... but glad for the win.

Gleeson stood f****** tall that quarter. McKenna, Saad well played

Who the f*** told the team to play safe footy? f****** useless.

Three high kick and hopes from the North forward 50 followed by two OOF's is not just dumb footy - its criminal.

Langford and Brown lifted, ZClarke didn't give Goldy anything that quarter, not even a clanger. Saad 11 possessions that quarter, Merrett, Stringer and Tippa kept going. DClarke totes shut down Cunnington.

Keep it going!!!!

Now that was a goal!!! Well done Tippa!

Clanger Hangar

We have kicked into the man on the mark at least 4 times. Some when shooting for goal.

McKernan, Hooker, Brown, Fantasia, Guelfi, Saad having shockers McKernan 3 shots on goals that didn't go the distance. Running at 0 % efficiency from 4 disposals. 4 clangers including 3 frees against. Hooker kicking sloppy and high - one of his 3 disposals has gone to one of our players Brown 7 disp...

Gleeson on Zurhaar? Bad matchup.

Clarke not being used to tag f(well he can't from the bench) ... yes he is. Cunnington

No changes for this week Surely Snelling in...why did we bother recruiting him in a mid season draft intended to give sides depth to cover long term injuries. Snelling is the obvious replacement for Smith and now with Heppell out, we lack mid field options. Clarke in ruck, Heppell out, Ambrose put,...

On the one hand, he is a lucky bastard - usually you are caught with digital scales and plastic bags, you are done for dealing. On the other hand, he is an unlucky bastard - first time offender who the magistrate thought didn't own most of the drugs - should have been a diversion or a good behavior ...

From the AFL Website ESSENDON coach John Worsfold says David Myers is again available for senior selection, having omitted himself earlier in the season. And from the Essendon Website Zac Clarke's form "It wasn’t surprising that his best quarter was his last quarter (last week). He started to get in...

any word on Heppell?

Doubtful for Saturday. Could be season ending.

Ouch...that cannot be good

Apparently it's the genetic problem that put a knock on his recruitment prospects ... thank heavens we managed to squeeze 165 games out of him.

This is mischief making at its best. It’s just crap journos making stuff up. Orazio ain’t going anywhere! Where there's smoke.... His contract expires when he’s available for free agency. That’s the key. Restricted Free agency - so if he is in the top 25% of earners at the club - he is off the tabl...
