    Preview Round 1 v Carlton MCG Thursday March 12th 7.30pm - Sam Grlj Debut

    Isn't that the point I just made? The team is too tall and lacks running power. If Nank is rucking 85% of the game (which he will), where do you think Gray plays for the time he can't play ruck?

    Nank will be rucking. Gray will be in the ruck for 10-20% of the game at most. So majority in the backline.

    Preview Round 1 v Carlton MCG Thursday March 12th 7.30pm - Sam Grlj Debut

    Broad, Miller, Balta, Gray and Gibcus all in the same team vs a team that has McKay up forward and not much else. Are we tanking? That team doesn't inspire much hope. Get healthy please Hotton and Cumming.

    Player Watch #45 Thomas Burton - 2026 SSP Signing

    Way more accomplished ball winner as a junior. Just racks it up. Also more burst. I'd put him closer to the Priestia archetype.

    Player Watch #16 Josh Smillie - Setback 6-10 Weeks Unfortunately

    Match play by Feb. Lol Serpell should be out of a job. He's butchered this kid and a number of others. Constant reoccuring soft tissue injuries to the same body parts for all our young players. At some point we need to stop excusing it's just bad luck when it continues for such a long period...

    Player Watch #10 Taj Hotton - Out Up To 4 Months

    People will keep defending serpent weirdly but the proof is in the pudding. I have next to no faith he can get any of these young kids out on the park consistently. They'll all broken down constantly under his training methods.

    Player Watch #16 Josh Smillie - Setback 6-10 Weeks Unfortunately

    I questioned the match play in February comments when he first had surgery that seems quite serious. I'm not sure anyone really believed the club on that? I don't know why they try to spin us on fancical timelines as it just backfires on them constantly. Fast forward to nearly March and look...

    SSP Rookie Spot - Thomas Burton Signed

    I doubt Burton just went "I'm leaving for Essendon" and that was it. You'd think his manager would go to the club and talk through it given he was already at the club. They would've already had a good look at him at training so would know if he's a can't lose prospect. I am just guessing...

    Player Watch #33 Patrick Retschko

    Wing is a quite demanding position at AFL level with all the defensive running they have to do. I'll be surprised see Grlj starting there initially from game 1. Retschko seems a good bet given we still lack wing options and his extra preseason.

    Training Pre-season 2026

    Club has been reading socials. Lalor up on the instagram shorts. Seems like he's not injured and training.

    Review Winners and Losers 2025 draft

    The kid that played a handful of good junior games and that already has back issues because he's so tall? When the game has been trending away from tall inside mids for years to smaller agile Daicos, Butters, Ashcroft types. Oh he also runs a really slow sprint time and bad endurance testing...

    List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - Draft Analysis

    Twomey basically did the same. His smug grin carrying on about Essendon being so happy we passed on Robey and they got a steal etc. His whole article the other day was basically a hit piece on Grlj and how he would've slid out. Massive flog

    List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - Draft Analysis

    Still think think there's room for one of these types in a midfield but not more than that. Ideally they have versatility to push forward to kick goals or back and intercept. He was good off half back with his kicking in the juniors when he played there and also pushed forward to consistently...
