    Delisted #38: Nick Kommer - Delisted - 26/10

    Take out the absolutely crap free kick he got in the first quarter, I thought he was pretty quiet. And definitely played better footy most other games this year.

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread IX

    It really shits me that my membership money's going on about a 5th payout in 8 years. Given they already get 1-2 million a year.

    I'm with you that we would've taken him; I just don't think it was such a 'spanner in the works' moment. If it was a big structural issue that they were properly worried about, we would've taken a ruck regardless. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we don't draft a ruck this year. I think...

    There's this bloke called Bartel, plays for Geelong. Look him up. Nowhere near as good against Kommer as he has been every other week.

    ? We've had about 12 picks since, we certainly haven't taken a ruck & I don't even think we've looked closely at one?

    This is obviously, and unambiguously, wrong.

    Oh hai... Pies in 2010, Macaffer & Blair; Geelong in 07 & 09, Rooke. Etc etc etc. Plenty of good sides have had designated taggers in the forward line.

    Yes! Funny! Aren't I a big silly! Didn't realise! Almost like some guys are not tasked with only kicking goals. Nah, couldn't be it.

    When has he ever shied from that?

    Traded #17: Jake Melksham - Traded to Melbourne for pick 25

    Unlike the Carlton game, I don't think I really saw a glaring error. He kinda coulda maybe run away from the defender to get the ball to Joe for the running shot (but I'd normally prefer the guy with the momentum to take the shot, so that's hindsight heroics), and he shoulda (and normally would...

    Delisted #38: Nick Kommer - Delisted - 26/10

    More goals a game than Fletcher, Carlisle, Hooker & Pears though. Drop em all! Stupid line of reasoning. The issue is not that he's not doing what the club wants, your issue is that the club's not doing what you want. Kommer is clearly doing what the coaches ask more often than not.

    2012 Points against: 95 2013 Points against: 80 He's certainly not perfect, but he has been reasonably effective at stopping a half-back. Sure, our attacking guys have been more efficient, but let's give credit where it's due. Baguley, Howlett, Kommer, Hooker, Hocking & at times Myers have...

    Picking 2 trucks, who aren't going to offer anything, at any point, is precisely zero use to anyone. If Hille goes, we probably need a ruck. But you want someone with some ability. FWIW, our best side is Ryder rucking solo.

    Milne wants ban on all abuse

    No. He was alleged to have r*ped a woman. That is what 'alleged...' means, it's not being clever - an allegation was made, which has never been proven or disproven in court, or otherwise settled. The initial investigation foundered (as, I believe, a lot of rape allegations do), but sometime...

    Brad Scott signed til end of 2016

    I don't know if there's ever been a concerted effort to teach them how to play tempo, ugly, boring, zone football - and it doesn't happen by magic. Certainly a bit of it's inexperience, but a fair bit of it's coaching as well. He shouldn't be close to being sacked; but the 2016 deal is still...

    Milne wants ban on all abuse

    Agree. I'm always very careful to use 'alleged rapist' when addressing Mr Milne, as the evidence against magically "disappeared" & it never went to trial.

    Richmond V Essendon, season defining game.

    The ruck battle was a huge part of it, for mine. Tigs badly need Vickery to do something; both to take pressure off Maric and give defenders something else to think about. Just Reiwoldt & McGuane is too easy for defenders to double team Reiwoldt. If Maric breaks down, struggle street. That...

    Traded #17: Jake Melksham - Traded to Melbourne for pick 25

    I think they were all recruited to play footy. Skirting contests is just not acceptable, whether you're outside, inside, or upside down. Reimers was a consistent culprit, Jetta can go the same way at times.

    Richmond V Essendon, season defining game.

    You were missing your best tagger (I'll give you that one) and 2 kids & a journeyman who've played a combined 65 or so matches for you. If you think that's the sort of list of outs that explains why you were totally unable to conjure a score, please enlighten us. We went in without our best...

    Just to clarify, this is the guy who's been a relentless champion of Jetta & Reimers? Having a crack at someone who does put in, for 'not being physical'? Do you even read what you write? Spot on. Anyone picking holes in his form this year has really, really been looking pretty hard (read...

    Jeez, there is a massive, MASSIVE difference between his game against GWS & Richmond. Very good signs of 'getting it'.

    Delisted #7: Leroy Jetta

    Up until the Richmond game (and I'm not convinced it's changed for good, but at least worth another shot next week), he had exactly the same major issue that kept Kyle out most of the time. And something you won't find Melksham having a problem with... I just can't get why he was thrown into the...

    Except of course Sydney, who've lost (IIRC) 16 of their last 18 at the MCG. They'll never win a flag at the MCG with that sort of record, will they? If you're good enough, you'll win games on Mars.
