Re: Benevolent Bombers v Scum

Looks like the rain will clear for the match today which is a big bonus. Hurley seemed to be playing with an injury of some sort the last two weeks and I was surprised he wasn't rested this week before the big game next week against Crows forwards. Rumoured late out last week wonder if he may be a l...

Re: Benevolent Bombers v Scum

Can people just be happy for me that I can at least have one last game with my favourite player of the past few years... :wink: I've got to know the guy and his wife quite well at VFL games, sponsor nights and the Crichton and have heard it all from their point of view. From my point of view it's a ...

Re: Benevolent Bombers v Scum

Not unhappy with the ins I feel like they make sense. Obviously very happy to see Benny back in on what looks to be his last chance in the seniors. Over on the other site they seem to be upset he's in, but last time he played seniors in Sydney he was stiff to be dropped after a better second half. W...

Re: Finals chances

You know what I've spent the weekend on ladder predictors and cheering on other teams to lose and then shit like today happens. I'm done. Whatever happens will be. 9 wins in our comeback year far exceeded my expectations. We are victims of our own capabilities and there's still a long way to go to ...

Re: Blitzing Bombers v Footscrap

Positives: - Joe D 6 goals. Continues to consistently kick a bag and will only get better and that's exciting - Darcy Parish will soon be our best midfielder. Negatives: - Cale Hooker from go to woe was putrid. Learn how to f***** kick from 20m out. And don't get me started on that play on the goal ...

Re: Essendon VFL 2017

No rail past Cranbourne. Casey fields is about another 5-10 minute drive from the station. Agree with BERT the lighting was appalling.

Re: Blitzing Bombers v Footscrap

Can't play like we did yesterday against them. Feel like we should be up for this game even though we're probably favourites. Nows the time to start showing the competition we are hitting some good form leading into September. One month of games left to show that we would be worthy finalists. But in...

Re: Norf next. Here we come.

Positives - We won a game we normally drop when we play like that - Three in a row for the first time in a long time - I agree to some extent that winning ugly is good - The midfield stepped up in the last to get us over the line as they should - Thank You Mr. Hooker Negatives - That air of complac...

WCE were shit but have equally a pretty decent run home. Just have to keep winning. Going to be a dog fight to keep our spot.

Re: Essendon VFL 2017

There's a "grandstand" side which has limited seating, canteen, Casey's gym and clubrooms and away rooms. Otherwise the remaining 3/4 is exposed to the elements. The wind was going straight down the ground. Felt like an open paddock.

Re: Essendon VFL 2017

Went down to the game as it was close to home for me which was nice. In summary - f***** freezing with a howling breeze to the southern end of the ground. - We lost the toss and didn't have it in the last - We just wasted so many opportunities in the first and third to pile on the goals - They score...

Re: Trav Colyer

Totally agree. He's been a favourite of mine for years but he's becoming a liability at times. Scuffs so many kicks and fails to steady before he kicks. Raz is a perfect example of how to straighten up before you kick. Then when Trav bends over to pick up the ball it's butterfingers time after time....

Re: Norf next. Here we come.

Bird very stiff. But it's Jobe.

Laverde deserves spot and works well with Greene going out.

Now just pummel those c****. I want a first quarter Gold Coast Suns 2012 style. And to continue on after that.

Re: Brown

Leave Benny alone [-( you are probably right about him being delisted though. Not dead wood imo. Surprised by this one too. Maybe as others have said just for back up. Was good last year but so far off the senior squad and hasn't done much in VFL for mine when we was playing. I read the email that h...

Re: Big JD

The scary part about Joe is that there's still so much improvement to be had. He has come such a long way in the past 12 months and is really thriving having the additional support this year. He has the marking down, the kicking is improving overall but what impresses me most is his work around the ...

Called for him to be sent back to the VFL and to never play AFL again at start of the season but wow where did this player come from. Still f**** it up a bit but does more good than bad. Glad they didn't listen to me. I also said Kelly was done too and look how that's going. McKenna's goal on Frida...
