    AFL Player 37: Nic Martin - Re-injured ACL, see you in 2027 - 28/11

    He underwent surgery yesterday - did you want a live stream of the operating table or what? Fan entitlement is crazy.

    AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett - Stepping down as captain for 2026

    So fans took it personally because we've been sold lemons for 25 years but it only took 10 for him to see through it?

    AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett - Stepping down as captain for 2026

    Most of the Vic clubs just aren't contenders, if Zach is leaving for success why would any of them put their hand up? Pies finished top 8 but they're going the other way. Mum won't let Chris take Brads toys and that leaves the Hawks. In regards to some of the broader conversation: I don't...

    Live Event 2025 AFL Draft – Pre-season and Rookie drafts, 3pm Friday

    Big believer that Essendon needed to shoot for talent that could fall into that A+ tier. I am ever so happy we went with Robey as he fits that IMO. To a lesser extent Farrow does too (personally would've taken Taylor here but I like Farrow). Fine with Sharp to fill out the trio but I was very...

    Pick 25 = 590 * .9 = 531 Pick 36 = 317 441-317 = 214 point deficit Means from pick 4 on it would push us back. If I've done the math right/thats how it works.

    AFL Player 9: Sullivan Robey - 192cm mid-forward, Welcome to Essendon!

    Still can't believe he fell to us. This is the most excited I've been about a pick of ours.

    A real shame we miss out on Sweid - the benefit of these NGA guys is you do get the discount (despite it being a touch reduced now) which we have forgone. If it was going to effect next years first it had to be done though. At least he is going to a competitive team straight out of the gate...

    And they will tell us they're actually first rounders

    Bump - glad Rosa and the team are shooting for upside. Robey and Farrow both are the prototype elite player. Very happy regardless of what happens with the draft from here.

    Dyson Heppell doing the jumper presentation for the dons tonight. Dyson Sharp started following Essendon because of Dyson Heppell. Make of that what you will

    Yes but he will have made up for that by reaching about 10 picks to get him.

    Most likely to draft: Sharp. Clean skin, private school boy Lindsay. Same as the above + Vic country which he prefers over interstate. Least likely to draft: - X Taylor. Didn't go to private school, has tattoos, doesn't take himself too seriously.

    I wouldnt call it arrogance as much as the confidence to speak the truth even if its not popular. Have a feeling there isn't enough 'radical candor' at the dons over the past decade.

    very much agreed - pairing those two (or Robey/Dovaston) would be excellent

    If it somehow resulted in us getting CDT + Robey I would love that!
