AFL Autopsy RND 10: Beaten by the Dockers
If someone could explain to me the logic of bringing in setters just to park him on a wing on a wet day, that would be much appreciated. Let’s bring McKay back next week and get him on ball. -
AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay
an absolute space cadet. 0 desire to compete. Its not his fault, his bro is the same. Just a genetic predisposition to be a timid / spineless footballer. -
AFL Player 3: Darcy Parish - wins the 2026 Yiooken Medal - 22/5
the problem is, if he's not getting the clearance, he's an absolute liability. its all or nothing, more often nothing. -
AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett (c) Wins 6th Crichton Medal - Congratulations Zach
Spot on. Merrett has done everything in his power to lift this club out of the doldrums. It hasn't worked. it won't work in the next 2-3 years. Get something whilst he still has value, and pray to your respective Gods that we improve. -
Free Agent 2: Sam Draper - Off to Brisbane as a free agent
its going to be refreshing not watching his under 8s kicking style. It always felt like we were squeezing a round peg in a square hole. Not a natural footballer bone in his body. Decent athlete though...- Words: 37

Hot Topic The Rebuild
The problem is, the EFC has a penchant for overrating the list / players. Unwilling to make the tough calls on players that are internally perceived as high end talent. I would consider the club to be innovative if they offloaded the likes of a Langford, Parish, Draper, Mcgrath. Players... -
Hot Topic The Rebuild
then why is the article referring to the lions/ crows blueprint? clearly they're doing something different / right. something we haven't done for a longgggg time. -
Hot Topic The Rebuild
TBH, if you're not forging your own path/innovating, you're always going to be a step behind the comp. Time to be creative , not just walk in the shadow of successful teams. -
Preview Round 19 - Essendon Bombers vs GWS Social Media Team - Thursday, July 17th 7:30pm - Marvel Stadium
would love to see Johnson go through there. -
AFL Player 22: Sam Durham - Concussed early in the Dreamtime game - 22/5
probably the umps for the number of BS HTB decisions against him. No longer is the player first to the ball rewarded / protected. -
AFL Player 46: Lachlan Blakiston
Sorry Cal Twomey. Don't have the contract specifics at hand. lets say 1m. aka the highest paid player in the team. -
AFL Player 46: Lachlan Blakiston
Look, I get it — he’s not on McKay’s level, but nor should he be. He’s only two games into his career and was drafted primarily as a ruckman. The upside is that he's fit and playing and not costing the club 1.4m a year.... -
Roast Our general lack of fitness, strength and conditioning - Head of high performance sacked - 18/7
You cant trust a skinny chef. You can't trust a barber with a shit haircut. You cant trust a strength and conditioning coach built like Murphy. -
AFL Player 3: Darcy Parish - wins the 2026 Yiooken Medal - 22/5
Unfortunately he won't be. The EFC is forever overrating players, unwilling to trade & just has a general lack of self awareness. We walk him back into the starting mid like he's Gary Ablett Jr, but I'm hard pressed to see another midfield in the league he'd be a walk up start for. -
AFL Player 16: Archie Perkins
Not sure the vfl can solves his complete unwillingness to put his body on the line at any point. He's the Prince of Portsea and he plays accordingly. It's a shame.
