    Nobody actually wants to stay at Essendon, it was signed under duress and can be annulled.

    Pass, we don’t want more midfielders with poor kicks

    Mid Season Draft

    We’ll be picking middle of the MSD, so maybe 5 or 6? Either we have to take best available. We have gaps everywhere, I don’t get the argument that we need to select for a specific position.

    Game Day Match Discussion: Round 8 vs. Hawthorn, Thur 30/04 at 7:30pm (MCG)

    Best way to combat that is for others to step forward and agitate.

    He’ll be fine to play out a full game. I suspect we’ll know early as they will want to do a heap of media ahead of the milestone. We will need to improve out clearance work against the Hawks, not sure who comes in to resolve that major gap that we have. I like the idea of bringing Buller in...

    Toast Round 7 = Essendon 60-137 Collingwood

    I can’t say that wasn’t enjoyable, but I wouldn’t be crowing just yet. The bombers are not credible opposition. If we had relegation they would be in the third tier of competition by now. We may be humbled by hawthorn off a short break next week. The pressure was good, our intent to carry the...

    VFL VFL Round 5 v Essendon - Anzac eve - Friday April 24. 2:05pm @ KGM Centre

    I felt like Buller in the seniors was getting in the way and unsure, understandably it takes quite a bit of time to build chemistry with your team mates and to learn the convoluted game plans of today. Given we run a similar system in the VFL I feel like he’s ready for another go following...

    Time to right the ship, we have been insipid…let the bakers bake the bread.

    Agreed, but at the time Darcy was made captain it should have been Maynard.

    My comment was about our backline, that article is talking about our Defence which is an all team thing. Our defensive strength is related to our strategy, the way we move the ball and the way the players further up the field pressure the ball and plug the holes. We sacrifice our offense for...

    Alex Condon (Future Cat B Candidate?)

    I still think he goes undrafted…

    Player Watch Beau McCreery

    And that would be a great outcome for us. He has some strengths, but also some weaknesses…he’s not worth that amount in my book.

    He’s being asked to play tall, when clearly his size doesn’t allow for that. Our backline is not functioning very well generally, so I think as a result both he and Maynard are more on lockdown and leaving the run and carry to others.

    Would be great if our captain was more consistently on the field…Maynard should have been captain.

    2026 Trade / FA Thread

    Absolutely, but if you look at most premiership midfields they are stacked with A grade talent. We really only have Nick as a full timer in that under 30 category. I guess what I’m saying is we are further away from completing our midfield than we are our forward line. You can get away with one...
