I will dispute one part of the article. Melbourne were putrid yesterday.

Put together - both teams would stink it up.

Notable players (in a good way) - Shiel (18 contested possessions), Saad, Smith (mainly for 2nd half)... Langford kept trying. Heppell was OK.

Sad shit day

Tippa giving away a free for getting a headbutt in the groin is just the icing on the cake of a bad day

At 3/4 time, the following players have 10 possessions or less TBell 4K 2HB 16% accuracy Stringer 5K 3HB 62% Ambrose 1K 3HB 100% Tippa 2K 2HB 75% Brown 5K 3HB 75% Francis 5K 2HB 62% Myers 4K 3HB 71% McKenna 6K 3HB 88% Guelfi 3K 2HB 80% Fantasia 5K 2HB 42% McKernan 2K 1HB 33% Baguley 3K 3HB 83%

Well this is f****** shit... Held scoreless for 2 quarters... And the bastards are puffed out at 3/4 time

They are unfit and their skills suck.

Anything different this year?

FFS groins....!! What do these guys do in their spare time? And yes, was hoping for Stewart to show his old club up. Another tragedy I guess. Went OK in the JLT but have more faith in McKernan's abilty to shine when the chips are down. McKernan seemed to be a bit put out when dropped for JRT 2 and ...

McKernan being named and Stewart not even making the extended bench should send him warning signals.

Pity, as he looked like he had some talent when he first arrived.

Z Merrett. Doesn’t take a backward step either... Yep why not? He's certInly got attitude as well as grunt. When Jobe stepped down, I was calling for Zerret to be made skipper...I still think he should be... Any more seconders anyone? Count me in. It's a bit bare for potential captains at the momen...

Toxic culture over there. Maybe Bennell has brought some of that shit with him from the Gold Coast? Still, there has always been some sort of fuckwittery going on around Freo over the years. And all the club does is “support” or “defend” that sort of rubbish instead of trying to stamp it out. Three...

I'm not quite sure just what a "high half-forward" is.

Likewise is there a low half-forward?

There are some players in the AFL who would benefit hugely from having a day job.

If only to see just how privileged AFL players are.

you would have to think Smith, Francis and Walla are certainties. Who do you think will be the 4th interchange?

Has to be out of Laverde and Guelfi yeah?

The coaches have a lot of time for Guelfi.

Nice to see Zerk-T get named on extended bench.

I know I nominated Brenton Tarrant, but Fraser Anning would have to win hands down most months.

Just men in general. I’m ashamed to be one. Virtually all atrocities on earth have been done by men. We are a c*** of a species. Almost Fully concur. There have been some good men,but sadly they seem to be the exception rather than the rule. A good example of an unlikely alliance from an outsider’s...

Well Joe's Mo starred in today's Captains Picture (instead of Hepp's locks).

As my mum would say, "at least he scrubs up well".

Brenton Tarrant ... rot in hell

** BREAKING NEWS **

Essendon Football Club has changed the name of its headquarters in Tullamarine to ‘The Hangar Hospital’.

The club is calling for patients.

Lag 1: What you in for?
Lag 2: I'm doing 3 for butchering the ball. You?
Lag 1: I'm a patience patient.

In my time supporting the 'dons, we have won 5 premierships... but Carlton has won 8 :x Don't care for the fluffy excitable reportage or the reassurances from the club designed to keep suporters on side. I note that the real turnaround last year was when the club swung the axe at the selection table...

I'm not sure that our "inability" to learn the new defense from Richmond can explain how we got belted in the guts and the standard Essendon breakdown of play in and around the forward 50. How this new thinking will change our propensity to kick to two on one marking contests or kick over their head...
