BrunoV are you out there ???? I honestly can't wait for your assessment of his game today, please give us your thoughts..

Have been saying from day one, I like him in the team and he works hard but he needs to kick the ball more. His first intention with the ball is always to handball, blew a few certain goals yesterday taking the wrong option by hand. But he's best 22 everyday of the week.

Watching him live yesterday he monstered his opponent, he must surely be knocking on the door for inclusion next week....and please as a forward !!

Would be close to his best game for us, also I've never noticed how far he can kick the footy till today. I reckon he's a genuine chance to play in the AFL team before the season ends.

I feel a terrible sadness today not unlike when Warney passed. I hope whatever Walla does now in his life brings him the love and joy that he truly deserves. Watching all these awesome videos of him in full flight just makes me even sadder that we won't see him in the red and black again...

Serious question ,what does blue collar club mean ?, because what I'm seeing is anything but blue collar. We can't get it out of our back half, we can't keep it in our forward half and our mids won't chase, there's problems all over the place yet everyone seems to think that this style of play...

Yep keep the excuses coming, we have gone backwards which ever way you dress it. Good coaches will change the style of play if it's not working but hey nothing to see here, we are flying.

Yes it did but it's getting wrecked week in week out now.

Please, we made the eight last season so it worked, just tweak it to suit our list. They way we are playing at the moment is pathetic and we are losing supporters in droves, just read the comments on here. I refuse to go and watch that crap they're playing at the moment and I have been a...

I'd take that right now, wouldn't you ? We have gone backwards and quickly !

Well you have to play with the list you have unfortunately and as I've said previously it seemed to work last season, I thought we may have continued to implement that same style with a few minor tweaks ? Instead we are back to the style that Worsfold had us playing.

I 100 % agree with you, we played a very pressure the ball carrier style last season and then hurt them on their turnovers. We could see the improvement so why have we gone back to Worsfold's style of play where we allow teams to get from one end to the other without any pressure ?

Very new age of you.....Lets just keep playing the way we are then because we are really killing it.

For starters how about playing man on man and not let them have a squillion shots on goal ? This zoning off does not work for us we need to pressure the ball carrier or we will be slaughtered every week. Look at the difference from last week ?

It's an opinion game :cool:

Okay then, his decision making is poor, his disposal leaves alot to be desired and he gives up far too easily...hows that ?

Uncompetitive to me is , gives up too easily, doesn't put his head over the ball when it's his turn... I am harsh on him but I expect the same from everyone else. Look I want everyone in an Essendon jumper to be the best they can and I want them all to SUCCEED but you need to play to your...

He panicks with the ball in hand, has from day 1..What constitutes competiveness in your eyes ?

If they were in our best today we are in for a long year ! Who's best trait is competivenes in that list ?

Got nothing to do with today, just a fact that he's another uncompetitive player in our squad.

Add him to the list of uncompetitive players on our list...Ham, Cutler, Shiel, McGrath, Stewart, Cox, Langford, way too many to be a finals threat.

Things I took out of his game were, he's much fitter. Got to more contests and was still presenting late in the game. Crashed packs and played with aggression, he and Wright got in each others spaces but that is a work in progress. I really hope he goes on with it and finally fulfills his potential.

Straight off AFL.com today- The pacy, big-kicking McDonagh, 25, has bounced around the VFL system ever since first nominating for the draft in 2014

If the VFL guru say's he is slow then he must be slow... I will back him in to prove you and others on here wrong.

Slow ?..how many times have you seen him play ?? Most of his football has been played off hb/ wing, he often takes the kick out from behinds such is the penetration of his kicks. Look I'm not saying he's going to come straight in and star but FFS give him a chance, some comments are outright...

How about giving the bloke a chance ?? He's worked his butt off to get here and blokes are already potting the pick as a panic buy ?? Glad you and Bruno are no where near our recruiting department.

I've watched Garrett play since his u18's days at Northern Knights then onto the VFL at Northern Blues & Coburg then back to his junior club West Preston in the NFL and most recently Richmond VFL. He is a prodigious left foot kick, is a real dasher who breaks the lines and can kick the ball 60+m...

That's your opinion but you have to be joking, not there yesterday, today or any other day !! What has the AFL become, this and the dangerous tackle were pathetic !

That's great all he need's to do now is get the football, tackle, mark it and kick it as far as he can....

Probably the most frustrating player on the list for me.. One minute drops an easy mark then misses a set shot from in front... next minute takes 2 strong contested marks you couldn't make this up. Time to see what we can get for him in a trade I'd think.
