AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay
Said Nick Riewoldt. It worked for Peter Wright, because they are exactly the same player. -

Bombers: 10% discount forever. I like it. -
Preview Round 8: Essendon vs Brisbane, Docklands, Saturday 02/05/26 @ 12:35 AEST
Out: May, Kako, McKay In: Nguyen, Unwin, Johnson. Edit. 2 small pressure forwards to come in. Blakiston goes back to replace McKay (both were bad, but it fixes one problem). -
Preview Round 8: Essendon vs Brisbane, Docklands, Saturday 02/05/26 @ 12:35 AEST
I can’t believe how many people calling for Cox in and I’ve even seen Perkins… Neither are AFL standard, although Cox has improved a little bit. Leave them in the VFL IMO. -
AFL Player 10: Isaac Kako
And then Jesus did say unto the supporting multitude, verily, I shall lay upon thee a plague. Neither the tall nor the short shall escape it... Essendonians 3:15 Thanks, so locusts next? -

If we get a MSD pick is there a good small forward prospect to support Kako? -
AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay
I'll quote this, as it fits my comment. I think McKay also suffers from picking the wrong option (low IQ). So throw that in the mix with all the other debuffs; fumbly, uncompetitive, led to ball... -

He seemed better when he was rucking for longer, and Wright was more forward. The last couple of weeks haven't been as good as the previous, shocker ANZAC Day. He is a backup in a couple of positions and does an OK job. If Bryan can't come in in the next couple of weeks and be an improvement... -
AFL Player 5: Elijah Tsatas
Ouch!!! that's gotta sting. -
AFL Player 12: Will Setterfield - not injured - 21/4
He has gone from 13-14 games at the highest level. Hang on, scratch the highest level part, I'll count VFL games too. Hang on, scratch the games part, I'll count VFL games where he is recovering or spends time out injured, hang on, scratch the games part entirely, I'll count games when he isn't... -
AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay
Only McKay could make McStay look like a bonified star. -
Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVIII
So far, the games this weekend are not close at all. -
AFL Player 3: Darcy Parish
He is frustrating, has a good couple of games, then serves up nothing. You'd hope that someone with his experience could be more consistent (I mean not consistently bad, but more like the last few weeks). -
