    AFL Player 8: Brayden Fiorini - back injury, return to play TBA

    Going in for back surgery. MSD pick?

    AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay

    Actually thought he was ok, would have been a very bad week if we were coming into a game against the Cats or Dockers and a match up against someone serious but his man didn’t do anything and he at least killed a lot of contests in the air. It’s a start

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    Yeah on field, I would hope they do by pure osmosis but during the week you can’t just play the tape and put your feet up. I don’t see him as particularly good at teaching and developing, so how he unpacks it and ensures they actually do take something from it and make it worth our while is...

    AFL Autopsy Round 8 loss to the Lions

    Effort and competitiveness was there, they are just fundamentally broken and playing without any discernible method or predictability with and without the footy.

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    In a class room setting, do the students set the curriculum, or do the teachers?

    AFL Player 30: Nate Caddy - "I'm leaving this club, definitely, for sure"

    He is an absolute ****ing animal

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    A bold, and I think quite flattering comment from Adam Simpson stating ‘they will learn from coming up against a good side like this’. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest he can effectively unpack the ‘why’ and take anything from this.

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVIII

    Brennan Cox just did something worse than anything McKay has done all year and I sure am looking forward to it being clipped up and shown on every form of media for the next 6 days.

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    McGrath will go to Cameron, he always goes to Cameron and often smashes him. Robey won't go through the middle at all and Sharp hasn't been going through the middle as yet.

    The downfall of Fox Footy.

    The David King and Jack Riewoldt combo is a genuine modern day beavis and butthead

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVIII

    Very quick assessment of the game is Collingwood are takers and Hawthorn are givers. Pies make a living out of taking what the opposition do off them and making them inert like they did to us last week. Hawks are good but their philosophy is far more like ‘we’ll take care of what we want to do...

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVIII

    Hawks are as good with the ball as they are bad without it.

    AFL Player 5: Elijah Tsatas - dropped 😱

    So if under normal circumstances, whether a draft pick is successful or not is measured by whether the player succeeds or not, if we want him to fail, is that also success because it’s the outcome we want?

    AFL Player 3: Darcy Parish - 'managed' 😱

    ‘lol, they will never drop him, what an embarrassment’ …. ‘Managed? Yeah right, they’ve dropped him’

    General Bombers Talk Hypothetical - 3 player bounty

    If it’s a here and now discussion I’m going Heeney, Butters, Xerri. If it’s a long play I’m probably tossing up between Rowell, Pickett, Duursma, Treacy and Mac Andrew.

    AFL Player 38: Rhys Unwin 🧅

    I would probably be dropping Robey and then bringing in Unwin and Nguyen given Kako is out as well. More zip and Robey still looks like he needs to build a bit of a fitness base.

    AFL Autopsy RND 7: Done by the Magpies

    They obviously created more chances, and like I said, the dam wall absolutely broke, but in the first half it was a pretty even, scrappy affair both ways. The standard was pretty shit in the first half, I think even Collingwood supporters would agree. It doesn't change the result but on the...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XIII

    It's amazing how attractive you can become as a destination if you outwardly look like you have your pants on the right way and your coach isn't the world's biggest uninspiring charisma vacuum.

    Can check them off as we go, that is Aliir Aliir

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XIII

    Keeping Zach Merrett didn't actually preclude us from doing any of the above, it's just stuff we didn't elect to do. None of these things are massive misses, but there is no Merrett/Non Merrett dependency on any of this stuff. We had the list space and the draft capitol to go out and get Serong...

    AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay

    He is quite clearly struggling but still giving it a crack but is he just a big, lumbering easy target? Each one of those rows represents a key defender this season, given the narrative, which one do we think he would be out of that list and more importantly, who do we think the other ones are?

    Analysis Why are we s**t?

    Losing to a pretty old and pretty average Collingwood side because Pendlebury cut us up while not getting out of a brisk walk is a pretty good microcosm. The period Collingwood manages to get their team 'up' is measured in months while the period we can stay up for is measured in quarters. At...

    Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2026

    Josh Tovey from Port Melbourne would be my MSD pick of the bunch. Not really sure why he is not the talk of the town. He’s 20 so he’s a bit older but he is popping off at Port playing as a goalkicking big midfielder.

    Or wait a week or two because that mix dominated the much vaunted Suns midfield 8 days ago.

    AFL Player 10: Isaac Kako - back stress fracture, TBC

    Critical role player in a team that makes prelims every year?

    AFL Player 30: Nate Caddy - "I'm leaving this club, definitely, for sure"

    Isn’t he doing, like, really well for a 20 year old key forward in a side averaging the least inside 50’s in the league? Reckon this is a classic example of the Essendon supporter base going into a doom spiral after a bad result.

    AFL Player 15: Dyson Sharp

    Reckon the only thing holding him back is his lack of affiliation with North Melbourne in the early 2010’s. A real pock mark for him.

    AFL Autopsy RND 7: Done by the Magpies

    This may not have been obvious if you were at the game, but watching on TV, it was quite clearly a skill gap, and then it probably got a bit out of control at the end when the intensity went out of it. Collingwood were just cleaner, it’s pretty simple. There were plenty of times where we either...
