Oh by no means did I mean to undersell Rampe! He's unreal. I agree with you for the sake of our list profile (and premiership hopes), was more a question of whether we can get really excited about the two of them?

McGovern would be so good. He hasn't quite broken out but if we're really changing up to cut through this turnover-based footy, having him to take Rampe-level defenders and take marks on the lead would be excellent. Not that we need to prioritise youth with our list profile and I'm not being a...

The club may have taken exception to the apparent party culture to which he belonged (I say if he turns up, keeps fit, gives a damn and performs, who gives a damn how he spends his days off?) but I really think this is a business call. He's a slow, small inside midfielder that doesn't distribute...

Feel invigorated by the club's hard line on this.

In that five game purple patch Lonie stuck a grand total of eight tackles. Can also barely run, kick and is tiny. Disregard.

Depends on his salary, but after two knees and his 2017 I don't think he'll be in our top 25% of earners.

The Fergus Greene rule.

I don't think outside wings are easy to find. Polec can torch the ball and he doesn't kick many goals but having a speedy player who can spread and open up the park is gold - we were told we'd blinked giving Johannisen (who has the same issues) a $3m contract but I'd do it again and throw...

Dangerfield took less than he was worth to go home, and Selwood is a bruised and battered 30 year old. If Polec is the player they believe will lift them into contention, why err because of what Player X is being paid? Dogs fans should know this better than anyone.

Assuming Dahlhaus and Wallis go, FB: Wood - Naughton - Morris HB: Williams - Cordy - Crozier C: Hunter - Liberatore - Johannisen HF: Dunkley - Schache - Suckling FF: Dickson - Boyd - Gowers R: Trengove - Bontempelli - Macrae IC: McLean - Richards - Daniel - Lipinski/Dale Refuse to be seduced...

Thought I’d get pulled up on this. I didn’t mean to bracket the two, Honeychurch is dreadful, but I’m not a huge Gowers fan. He can sniff a goal, there’s no doubting his heart and he has the tools to be around for a while (and he’s on the right list) but he makes some seriously poor decisions...

I sympathise with your faults with the selection but I disagree with “devil may care.” He organised a side that he believed gave us the best chance at a result, and putting two of our best defenders in the forward line doesn’t scream long game to me. He’s completely entitled to rip into his...

Was a bummer. Felt like Trengove made the right call in a situation that never should have been forced on him and it just didn’t break our way. A pity the brilliant efforts of Boyd, Naughton, Richards, Crozier etc weren’t rewarded with a morale boosting win, but as a club we’re better than to...

Spent his days off licking the walls of the oven and it was still the best Essendon coaching performance of the post-Sheedy era

I really like Lipinski. It's crushing to generate opportunity after wasted opportunity inside 50 only to concede a goal at the other end, having a rotation who goes when it's his turn, can put pressure on and consistently converts chances is refreshing. Hasn't struggled to find the ball at...

Jong, Daniel, Wallis and Redpath for Honeychurch, Crozier, Naughton and Liberatore. Beveridge sounds humbled. Pity we'll spend the year making up the percentage. We'll win.

I like to think Danny Del-Re has a little Bulldog beanie baby with #26 stitched on the back and 63 pins sticking out of it.

I really like what Suckling brings to our side. His poor one-out defense and occasional howlers are wildly overstated relative to his strengths, imo. Plays on a wing in my best side.

The lad just needs a decent cut, that's a brilliant shade of red. Was Biggs up there for the draft?

Give him Liam Picken's number and they can share their disappointment at missing out on the Buckley years.

You're right, insofar as I can't find the quote where he said we'd have won by four goals had the game gone longer, but at least he was lucid enough to admit the Giants weren't good enough: Also I don't know what fantasy you're referring to, the history books tend towards acknowledging that the...

Surprised Leon Cameron conceding they'd have been blown out if the prelim went any longer hasn't quietened the Giants fans who cling onto the belief they had what it takes in 2016. Wait, no I'm not.

People looking at the bottom five or six players in a team and calling it the worst premiership list of the modern era? Get the * outta here. There were some seriously ordinary players who tagged along for the Brisbane, Geelong and Hawthorn dynasties too. (Most) modern premiership sides...

The constant aggression. Mouthing off, shoving players and looking to start scraps when the ball goes dead. If it's how he fires himself up more power to him, but I hate that hypermasculine crap

I reckon Viney's one of the most detestable players in the league.

Yeah? I felt that way about Bruce to be honest. It isn't an easy gig but he just can't put together a coherent sentence anymore. Lots of positive but meaningless sentiments with "ay?" tagged on the end too. BT has his doubters and rightfully so but I think he's been okay when he isn't dicking...

Beveridge can be as clever as he likes, he just has to be more prepared to give it up when he's wrong or when the players can't pull it off. Look at the first Brisbane game. We pressed really high and generated that many turnovers. If we had the skill by foot of the great Hawthorn side he...

Cometti ******* nailed the Grand Final call apart from the final siren. So flat.

I like Mullett. Wanted to sign him after we made the decision not to elevate Roarke.
