Opinion Who Should Lead Us?
But “the kids” are pretty much all we have. The responsibility is as much on them as anyone. So let’s back them. Build together as a group, with a young leader (Roberts) who from all reports is extremely well-liked and who the entire club (and supporters) would all get behind. (and who has... -
Opinion Who Should Lead Us?
Give it to Roberts… especially if we refuse to budge and Zach stays. (he obviously can’t remain captain if he stays…) If we’re truly going all-in on the youth thing, then we use this to make a statement, and give to a guy who looks the goods, has the right attitude, is going to be around for a... -
Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham
Oh, ok… I guess that settles it. I could just as easily post one of the many messages Hird sent where he basically said (and I’m paraphrasing as I can’t be bothered trawling the internet for them) “as long as everything is above board, then let’s do it.” So you’re basically saying that you... -
Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham
I’m all for Hird coming back. He’s the best coach we’ve had since Sheedy, hands down. Unfortunately, Dank ****ed him (and the club) over 12 years ago, and people STILL don’t seem to be able to move on from that… However, this “story” is nothing more than just another typical Caroline Wilson... -

Opinion 2024 The good, the bad and the ugly
The good: Merrett Durham Caldwell Dodoro finally gone The OK: Forward press working… in a way… but more on this below… Only 3 games, but Roberts already looks like he belongs Bryan finally showed something Caddy could be anything Duursma seemed to fit in nicely Draper, although inconsistent... -

Can’t blame Jones. He’s one of the few who works hard all over the ground. -
Game Day Round 24: Essendon vs Brisbane Lions - Saturday 24 August - 7:30 PM - The Gabba
Gee whiz.. I actually like Stringer (I just think he’s being played in a position - FF - that is completely wrong) but that was poor. That was one of the only times we’ve ever kicked to the forward’s advantage… great kick by Draper… and Stringer, despite getting hands to it, still couldn’t mark... -
AFL Autopsy Season done, thanks Swans
Re our forward line woes… Tony Lockett and/or Jason Dunstall would struggle to take a mark in our forward line at the moment. Why? For a number of (related) reasons: - We have zero movement in our forward 50. Absolutely none. Go back and watch that first half again, ant555. Nobody is... -
Game Day Round 23 - Essendon v Sydney, Marvel Stadium, 16/8/24, 7.40pm AEST
Why are we so scared to make a lead in the forward 50? Even if it’s just to drag your opponent with you to help create space for somebody else… -
Game Day Round 23 - Essendon v Sydney, Marvel Stadium, 16/8/24, 7.40pm AEST
We just are so static in the F50. Merrett with the ball at about 70m out earlier, and there was ZERO movement in the forward line. Who’s our forward coach? Tapping? Must go. Get one or two leads going… which maybe creates space for someone else. But we all just stand there like blonks waiting... -

And Martin shows us again why he shouldn’t be at half back. -
Game Day Round 23 - Essendon v Sydney, Marvel Stadium, 16/8/24, 7.40pm AEST
Roberts lowers the eyes and finds a target. I wonder how long before we beat that out of him… -
Game Day Round 23 - Essendon v Sydney, Marvel Stadium, 16/8/24, 7.40pm AEST
Good to see Bryan has also joined the “bomb it aimlessly to nobody in the F50” party. -
Game Day Round 23 - Essendon v Sydney, Marvel Stadium, 16/8/24, 7.40pm AEST
McGrath two turnovers in the space of a minute. And we’ve signed him for many more years…?
