    AFL Autopsy Round 6: 36 Point loss to the Demons

    I know people are getting angry with Worsfold, but every coach for the past 15 years has taken the club nowhere, whereas Adrian Dodoro has been a constant. Maybe changing up the position of list manager needs to be looked at. Also, something that's killed us, our forward line. Changing from...

    Carbon copy of last year's game.

    Recruiting Trade & Free Agency V

    Draft position means nothing if you can't develop those you select. Gumby was pick 2 and Hooker was pick 54. Look how those careers panned out. Nothing is certain, plus if as a club you believe your ready to win a flag, then kids become a secondary need. Hawthorn were the prime example of making...

    MLB 2017 SEASON

    I'm shocked, that my Twins have claimed the second wild-card in the AL. Amazing achievement and exceeded all expectations. Yanks (seems likely they play in WCG) have torched us for so long but whatever, going to be a one game playoff and see what will happen.

    Recruiting Draft Watch - Jones, Bryan, Johnson, Cahill, Hibberd in

    In regard to Cassidy Parish and our potential to draft him, I'd prefer to take a teammate of his, Harry Benson. Although smaller, each time I've seen him play this season, been impressed and the kid loves to do the dirty work, tackling pressure is first rate. In addition, he has more...

    Universal Love Imported Players - who has been your favourite in the modern era?

    Preview Elimination Final: Sydney vs Essendon, SCG, Saturday 09/09/17 @ 4:20 PM

    Looking back, I know it sounds slightly ridiculous but that last quarter against Melbourne in round 6, shows how important it is to play out every game to the end. After the 3rd term and being down by 33 points, we could of really dropped the bundle and let it slip out to 50+, but we remained...

    Preview Elimination Final: Sydney vs Essendon, SCG, Saturday 09/09/17 @ 4:20 PM

    Who cares what timeslot was allocated. Still going to be 4 quarters and goal posts at either end of the ground. We may be underdogs, but that's fine with me. Crack in hard, make them nervous and see what happens.

    Retired # 2: Tom Bellchambers - Knocks Cam Mooney the **** out - 24/5

    Outstanding today, put his stamp on the game and absolutely flying with the solo ruck duties.

    Delisted #15: Josh Green - will not be offered a contract for 2019 - 10/9

    Jeepers Greeny is unlucky as he has played his role in the team really well this season, outside of his average goal kicking which had been a rarity at Brisbane. They'll keep him around next season However from that, it gives Begley every chance to take up Greens position in the team, not just...

    Preview Gold Coast vs Essendon, Carrara, Saturday 19/08/17 @ 7:25 PM

    Retired #47: James Kelly - Retirement announced - 16/8 - Essendon Performance Coach - 19/9

    Ripping servant for the past 2 seasons, was extremely fond of him as a player at Geelong and to carry himself in such a manner for us, is a credit and the level of respect has grown even more. Cheers Kel. Agree he gave us more than, Chappy, however Chappy did kick 4 vs Norf in a game, which...

    Retired # 4: Jobe Watson - Now coach at Xavier College 28/11

    Best of luck to Jobe, for the future. Gave tremendous service to the club that went above and beyond. Also 2018 will be only the second time since 1967, that either a Watson or a Fletcher isn't on the list at Essendon, the other season being 1992.

    Team Mgmt. 2017 Team selections, injuries and availability

    Won't play in 2018 group Jobe, Stants, Hocking, Morgan, J. Merrett and one of Bird or Howlett. Allow for Raz/Tippa to flow through the midfield at times as their pace can allow for effective outside running Make Begley become a full on inside mid, which I believe he can be, whilst sneaking...

    AFL Autopsy Round 19: 5 goal loss to Western Bulldogs

    what might've been eh? Felt the game was played at a tempo too quick for us and tailor made for the Dogs, I know we are a fast team and all but we need a certain level of control with our play, which occurred and allowed us to get a sniff in the final term through gaining more controlled...

    VFL Past #65: Shaun McKernan 🐴 - Returns to the Dons

    Played good and think he deserves a run in the team, but I am dreading the fact he is likely to get dropped when he shouldn't. Fingers crossed he stays on, if not I think it may be an indication of favourites being played.

    AFL Autopsy Essendon 11.16 82 def St Kilda 11.14 80

    We got the points but it was so hard to watch. Something that ticked me off was zakka kicked a good running goal to tie it up in the last and barely anyone went to him, it was a good goal and important for us to stay in touch, need better team spirit, should be getting around him in such...

    Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

    Well with two days left, once again we are seeing clubs wanting the earth and not wanting to give up a thing. Then once 2:05pm on Thursday rolls around all we will hear is "oh we didn't have enough time". Port won't budge, so it is either pick 17 or walks, they know the AFL will side with Ryder.
