Exactly right about list turnover. Also opens up more opportunity for others. Langford and Wright will be better with more space and Caddy will get better week by week. The biggest problem for me is forward structure. It doesn’t matter who is down there if we have the same set up as this year...

If Qatar is true, why haven’t they already gone there. Reid could have gone 6 months ago and Ridley about a month ago. It’s obvious we can’t get them right. There are lots of excellent facilities overseas and there is no excuse for us not to use them. To only go as a last resort is not being...

The problem with Stringer is you never known who is going to turn up. The Package or the Baggage. If we give him two years, history says he cruises through year one and then goes hard in the contract year. We need to stand firm on one year even if it’s more performance based. Keep him on the...

2025 will be career defining for half our list. If we don’t see improvement across the season, there will be immense pressure on coaches and the board. We are Essendon and are not renowned for patience, I hope Barham has the strength to keep us on this rebuilding path, even though it’s not the...

To sell the farm for Petracca would be foolish. He’s 28 yrs old, coming off some horrible injuries. Of course Scott and the board probably think Petracca would open our premiership window. That’s the sort of delusional thinking we have every year.

Norf would have him and Harley Reid if they were not so incompetent.

I would love to see that. It would mean he has had a great pre season.

Anything is possible if he stays on the park. He is obviously a very talented player, but I have said it before - the best ability is availability.

Love this bloke. Hardly missed a game since we picked him up in mid season draft. After 60ish games he is still going to get better. I remember Mark Harvey saying that he felt he had to play hard every game because he never wanted to be dropped. I think Sam has the same attitude.

Realistically, if Hayes isn’t playing senior footy next year, it means we don’t rate him. If Reid can’t get on the park we can’t afford to keep him either. We are placing a lot of faith in two unproven players.

He obviously wasn’t playing for a contract last night. Hope we trade him.

Didn’t realise Jones and Nostradumbass were playing. Great goal assist to them Draper, you great big f wit.

End of season trip has already started.

Please, no16 at that shit shirted club should never be named again on this forum. He is dead to us.

Most clubs already use these methods. We are only playing catch-up. When John Quinn was at the top of his game we used worlds best practices. Years of incompetent administration with no funding has left us way behind. Everyone can put shit on Sheeds, but he was able to get the best out of...

Barracking for the mighty saints this weekend.

I think the six year contract is going to kill us. I can’t see him getting better at all, so hopefully he can stay healthy and still play good footy, but six years is a long time.

Rachelle would fit in with a few of our boys. They could all grow a set of balls together.

Who was the superstar we missed in McGraths draft year?

I hate him even more when I think of who we drafted ahead of him in 2016. McGrath, Begley, Mutch, Clarke and Nyuon are all superstars.

I’ve asked this question before. Who should we have picked instead of these three? Max Holmes is the only one I can think of.

I don’t think the coach is a spud, but we have too many spuds on the list.

If he hadn’t been such a high pick, he would have been out of the league long ago.

Great effort to half time against the top team. Sydney are always a low scoring team and the super flood tonight has kept it tight.

Nah, too much hard contested footy for him.

There are no farewell games or getting games into kids because we still have a chance of making finals. This is the biggest problem I have with Scott’s coaching. It was the same at North, where they needed to make finals and be competitive every week. We are still in a half hearted rebuild...

If we keep Nostradumbass, he needs to grow some more brains. Maybe a big bucket of water and a truckload of fertiliser.

Great fella with a 250 game career at the club he barracked for as a kid. Not his fault he got drafted by the most incompetent club of the last 20 years.

Hardwicke started at the Tigers in 2010 and it took 7 years . First 3 years where 15t-12th-12th before 3 years of finals then 13th and then their 17 / 19 / 20 GF wins. Richmond already had Riewoldt / Edwards / Cotchin / Rance / Martin / Astbury / Grimes on the list before Hardwicke took over...
