[RPCB]

Always great to see a player with years to run on the contract he signed, wanting to leave and it ends up blowing up in his face. Even better when the club he selects to go to is one of your current clubs biggest rival.

Congratulations Zach Merrett, you’re officially the tool of the week.

I did attach my signature to this for the lols.

It gets even funnier. Whoever started the petition wrote an impassioned call to arms to the Bombers faithful.

Edit: I like the way he or she downplays the whole drugs scandal thing in the sentence i highlighted in bold font.

No.

The prospect of James Hird again being in charge of the medical futures of 17 year olds isn't particularly funny to me.

If Essendon* win a wildcard game there will forever be an asterix against their asterix (especially around here) - Essendon ** .

ElevenDon? Is that a thing?

 

[Dramoth]

A typical Essendon season... come out of the blocks hard, look like premiership favourites after 3 games, according to the media, win a few more games before the bye... then start losing after the bye and miss any chance of a final by the last weekend of the season.

 

[jj1978]

Now I really don't like the top 10.. giving * even a miniscule chance of winning a final from 9-10th... I'm vexed.

can't see them finishing in the top 14 let alone top 10. They're awful.

Recent media article claiming the Victorian minister for women was groped by * players in the 90s.

They're going to bottom out, try and fill their list with first round picks next year and try and bounce back in 27. And finish in the bottom 4 in 27 so they can get Bewick cheap(ish).

Andrew McGrath to take over, lol. Number one draft pick leading from half back, no doubt hodge like by the start of the season.

 

[jj1978]

Don’t see McGrath as captaincy material, but each to their own.

 

[BlueLocke]

Was questioning why they picked McGrath but after a look at the 26 list for * and they are in for some pain unless the crop of draftees from this year really come on quick; the next best options for skipper are Mason Redman

and Peter Wright.

I'm guessing Merrett will phone it in next year, too.

It makes perfect sense. He’s *’s second best player after Zach Merrett.

I know. Sad.

 

[jj1978]

If * have a bad start to the season can see Merrett just phoning it in, doing nothing much, resting his body to be let go for 1/2 the value they would’ve got during trade period. He should be phoning Charlie now for pointers, e.g. ride to the G in your slippers.

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

They could have used Archie Perkins for home games.

Merrett will fake an injury just like Daniher did in his final season with *.

A less inspiring leader than McGrath I'm struggling to come up with? He must talk well to the group. He's never even placed in their BnF (against little competition) something even Will Snelling was able to achieve!

Even ShortStHeppell was a better leader than McGrath.

That’s just so ridiculous and unlikely.




He would be wearing Hawthorn PJ’s!!!!
