    Game Day Round 13: 150 Years of EFC - Essendon v **** Carlton, Friday June 10, 7.50pm AEST - MCG

    Our goal conversions throughout the year have been awful. Not only is poor kicking poor football, but the impact of missing shots you should get to the team morale is demoralising (hope that is spelt right...). Not saying that this is the only reason for our losses, but it would be nice if we...

    Game Day Round 14: Essendon v Hawthorne, Thursday 27/8/20, Adelaide Oval, 4.10pm ACST

    We would have to have the most players on an AFL list with the least amount of skill or grunt. We fail to hit handpasses that are relatively easy and we simply cannot kick to the advantage of our own players at all - bomb it long. It is OK to have these types of players in your team if they...

    Game Day Round 11: Gold Coast v Essendon, Wed 12th August, 7.10pm AEST, Metricon Stadium

    Our list is in very poor shape for the bottom end. Forget the first column for fantasy football, but the other columns are Goals, Behinds and Disposals. Tippa, only 8 touches and looks unable to get into it Clarke - play him around the ball Tbell - he is truly a liability Cutler - should not...

    Game Day Round 11: Gold Coast v Essendon, Wed 12th August, 7.10pm AEST, Metricon Stadium

    I have thought for a long time that our coaches do not appear to be angry when they should. Look at Hardwick, Clarko, Fagan, Hinkley etc - they all get angry and show the team when they should. Our coaches = its all about learnings... nothing changes. Last coach we had that showed any anger and...

    Not sure who in this team apart from Ridley, Saad and Tippa i feel comfortable with ball in hand. Everyone else i do not believe can hit a target 20m away without any pressure. Francis - used to be a beautiful kick, now, he looks so rushed.

    AFL Autopsy RND 10: Down to the Giants

    Completely agree - i was just mentioning names on people who are probably on their way down now and as much as i want Hooker to be around when we win a flag, i am not sure that he will be in the current way our list is

    AFL Autopsy RND 10: Down to the Giants

    Perhaps i am spoilt as i have seen our club go through some successful times in the past, but right now i would say i am at the lowest point of enjoyment with both Essendon and the AFL. The problem is the club never questions anything anymore when it comes to the AFL. When does our CEO come out...

    Recruiting Draft Watch 2020

    Is Brayden Seir contracted at Collingwood does anyone know? He seems to be on the outer at the moment and perhaps he could be a player that helps us in the midfield as a big body type. Must admit, being overseas, i am not up to speed on all that is happening in terms of recruitment etc, so...

    Preview Round 8: Adelaide vs Essendon, Adelaide Oval, Sunday 26/07/2020, 1:05 PM AEST

    Anyone playing injured, needs to be rested where possible. We cannot carry players into games - see McKenna. I actually havent seen any Adelaide games this year, so not sure how they actually line up. If we come with pressure and intensity, then we should take the win over a side that appears...

    AFL Player 1: Andrew "Pidge" McGrath (vc) - The skip we didn't know we needed

    I agree with this, it is almost like they have or are being taught to just bang it forward when under pressure. That being said, he is getting to the right spots to begin with, perhaps he needs some of his team mates to provide some support or clear some space other than just trying to get stats...

    Delisted #28: Ned Cahill - Not offered a new contract, thanks Ned! - 13/8

    Haha - agreed, give it a couple of weeks and he will be blindly bombing it in there in true Essington style

    AFL Autopsy Round 7: Taken for a walk by the Dogs. Again

    Where were our so called senior players when it counted (those that are playing anyway) and where was the spirit, we looked flat. I love this club and will always support them no matter what, but it does get super frustrating at times. Lack of genuine effort and consistency week after week is...

    Game Day Round 7: Essendon v Western Bulldogs, Metricon Stadium, 17/7/20, 7.50pm AEST

    I know im getting old, but what happened to going man on man when you are getting flogged. Is that not something that is worth trying anymore? Bulldog players are everywhere by themselves

    Lucky for our defense actually being half decent, could have been 100+ easily otherwise
