Not sure what more you want him to do - has been named in our best 5 of our 6 games. His stats this year is nearly identical to Touk Miller with much less support.

They were every bit as bad as us on the weekend. Comben is a great match up for Chol and Ginn has kicked more than 2 goals once in the last 20 games. This is not Cameron and Stengle we are talking about. Their midfield is the worst in the comp. Send Greenwood to Sicily.

After having the hardest start to the season in the AFL we finally get a chance for a win.

Seen enough of Stephen’s. Phillips has to add more value.

Lol if you think Rosa has final say then you’re new to the ess way.

Doubt ess will have a top 5 pick but Smille would have to be at the very top of your draft board. Do you think you will try to trade down? With dodo still there you will also have a small HBF that could potentially play midfield at the top of your draft board.

It’s Smille for me. We don’t have a Cripps, Green or Bont sized mid. It’s the biggest point of difference for our midfield. We have plenty of small, med mids.

It might be a case of the number 1 being the better fit. Smille should be 1 on our board as he bring something completely different to our midfield. Where as WCE might go for O’Sullivan - as they have the grunt with Gibney and Reid and would also have a good replacement for Gaff.

Ashcroft is a big chance to go in the top 3.

Gary Ablett Snr was 186cm.

I hope this is the case - he is meant to have great hands and is hard at it. It starts to give us some real marking fire power with Duursma, Zurhaar, Curtis & Ford along side Larkey.

Why are we turning him into a defender? Play him in his natural position and if that doesn't work out - Comben - then switch to defence.

This is the latest update I have. Roos: 2 Carlton: 2. Essendon: 1. Footscray: 1. Brisbane: 1. Tigers: 1 Crows: 1 Freo: 1 Hawks: 1

100% Agree - even with Comben learning the role he is much more ready to play key back - Pink is more a 3rd back. Send Comben to Hipwood - that will help build his confidence. Larkey is also in need of help so Sellars in for me. I would prefer to see Phillips in as well. Send Tucker to the...

He is a superstar - it just gets interesting to see what happens when Darcy returns.

Wright braced for contact - it wasn't incidental - he plead guilty to making careless contact - not incidental contact. Players don't get suspended for making deliberate contact let alone incidental contact with a team mate.

Of course not. But this was not friendly fire. This was 100kg forward knocking a smaller opposition out. You elect brace/bump and KO a player it has to be a suspension.

Cunningham - like all backs dropping into a hole to intercept expect contact - they don't expect to be KOed and suffer memory loss.

Wright pleaded guilty to it being careless, severe impact and high contact. How else can it be anything other than 3-4 weeks? Ess asked that he be suspended for 3.

Easiest 4 weeks ever. That got this spot on.

IMO Smille won't get past us - that will put him in the top 3.

Agree - O'Sullivan is the Gaff replacement.

IMO Smillie is a better fit - we don't have an 190 plus midfield bull. Powell 1.84 Simpkin 1.82 LDU 1.88 Wardlaw - 1.82 McKercher - 1.80 Sheezel 1.85 Phillips 1.80 Tucker 1.84 Lazzaro 1.80 Smillie 1.94 V O'Sullivan 1.82

Can't kick, can't tackle - his ceiling is C grade.

Agree - the only mid we really should be looking at. We don't have any mids over 190cm. Smille is the same height as the Bont at 194cm.

The teams and players were told. Punch to the head no where near play will be graded intentional. They got it correct - it’s why ess didn’t challenge.

Funny Redman got a week. Ess posters are having a sook due to Hewett the week before. Very similar - but 1 big difference. Hewett was in play - Redman wasn’t. It’s why 1 was graded as intentional and 1 was careless. Hewett a fine and Redman 1 week. Ess posters are seeing red or on drugs and...

A lot to like.

There will plenty that will stir him up if he left - team mates included. But with a big fat pay day i'm sure he will shake it off. Rich goose >>>> poor goose.

Clarko did something wrong and received a fine last week. Cam had a joke - no fine, no suspension, not even a please explain. Laugh at something funny - wasting time sooking is a waste of time.
