    AFL Autopsy Round 8 loss to the Lions

    He celebrated when Cox kicked his goal too.

    AFL Player 29: Max Kondogiannis - In the side to face Brisbane

    I say it a lot but would like to see him go through the middle. We showed last week that guys in there lacked size, ability to cover ground and pace, while Robey and Sharp might solve the former, the latter will still be desired. This guy has shown in his glimpses at AFL level that he likes to...

    Preview Round 8: Essendon vs Brisbane, Docklands, Saturday 02/05/26 @ 12:35 AEST

    This might be my favourite selected side in 20 years. Unwin instead of Gresham would have been perfection.

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XIII

    Culture stuff is overstated. If you were to break down our senior players into categories of ability to kick, run, win hardball, mark overhead they would be below AFL average for starting mids in most categories. Can have an amazing culture but not have players who are physically suited to...

    Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2026

    Really a best case scenario in my opinion. He’s a beautifully skilled player with a bit of toe and can play anywhere. Say he has an underwhelming campaign and goes way later, could still be a Murphy Reid or Gulden and we still get a player before him. Hopefully 2. Even better if the fan base...

    Team Mgmt. Makeup of our team II - Strengths & deficiencies, player development

    Problem is definitely starting at the midfield. The guys can’t hold tackles or spread defensively, really poor defensive iq and it just collapses the shape, the wing pushes in to apply pressure once they get outside and cascades down the field.

    Game Day Round 7: Essendon vs. Collingwood ANZAC Day Game, MCG, 24/4/26 3.20pm AEST

    The Occassion getting to a lot of the players as it’s not that hot to be as fumbly as we have been. Parish’s hands the worst I can remember from him.
  8. Red Black and Blue

    Game Day Round 7: Essendon vs. Collingwood ANZAC Day Game, MCG, 24/4/26 3.20pm AEST

    Yep that selection looking strange, one of Gresham or Nguyen should be in.
  9. Red Black and Blue

    Game Day Round 7: Essendon vs. Collingwood ANZAC Day Game, MCG, 24/4/26 3.20pm AEST

    Not looking up for it the fight atm. No composure down back and some not body lining the ball.
  10. Red Black and Blue

    VFL Round 5: Essendon vs Collingwood, 2.05 pm, Friday, 24 April

    His body work before the marking contest is getting so much better.

    VFL Round 5: Essendon vs Collingwood, 2.05 pm, Friday, 24 April

    Is Nguyen still out there?

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 7 - Dogs v Swans Thurs April 23rd 7:30pm AEST (Marvel)

    That’s a grab
  13. Red Black and Blue

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 7 - Dogs v Swans Thurs April 23rd 7:30pm AEST (Marvel)

    Busted leg Bont is a new mythical footballer.
  14. Red Black and Blue

    Unofficial Preview Anzac Day vs Collingwood Sat 25th

    If not Saad, maybe play Durham a bit deeper. Thought Nguyen would be right in if we wanted to keep the same balance.
  15. Red Black and Blue

    AFL Player 1: Andrew "Pidge" McGrath (c)

    He gets a lot of his touches defensive side as is. Generally wraps around the stoppage and cuts back through traffic. One of the reasons he’s so good is he’s not a defensive liability despite being a ball hunter.
  16. Red Black and Blue

    Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2026

    Some very suitable talents available for what we need. Butler, Neocleous, Williams all suit forward half creative types, which is our biggest weakness.
  17. Red Black and Blue

    AFL Player 5: Elijah Tsatas - dropped 😱

    It’s not a matter of just giving him a shot and now Scott being made to look silly. Even as a long term naysayer I thought the timing was right, as he had showed significant improvement in the two vfl games before being selected. Selecting him before his disposal and composure ball in hand had...

    AFL Player 9: Sullivan Robey

    Had a massive contest with Collins and only just came off second best. You could see big Sammy was feeling it and it didn’t look like a sensation he was used to.
  19. Red Black and Blue

    Game Day Rd 6: Gold Coast vs Essendon, Carrara, Saturday 18/04, 1:15 AEST

    Robey tackled in a marking contest.

    Recommitted Zach Merrett [UFA 2027] - Wanted a trade to Hawthorn, but it didn't get done

    A pick that you deemed the talent wasn’t worth taking there…

    Game Day Rd 6: Gold Coast vs Essendon, Carrara, Saturday 18/04, 1:15 AEST

    Tsatas beautiful kick.
  22. Red Black and Blue

    Game Day Rd 6: Gold Coast vs Essendon, Carrara, Saturday 18/04, 1:15 AEST

    Day Wicks has quickly gone from fringe to key player. His work is immense.
  23. Red Black and Blue

    VFL Round 4: Gold Coast vs Essendon, 9.30 am Saturday, 18 April

    i think we collectively underestimated how much development that 2020 class needed. A bunch have only elevated to good AFL standard this year. Cook, Berry, Bruhn*, Pedlar, Angwin, Sharp, Rioli jr.
  24. Red Black and Blue

    VFL Round 4: Gold Coast vs Essendon, 9.30 am Saturday, 18 April

    O’Neil captains goals.
  25. Red Black and Blue

    VFL Round 4: Gold Coast vs Essendon, 9.30 am Saturday, 18 April

    Terrible work on the goal line for Nguyens shot. We continually don’t have representation there at both levels.
  26. Red Black and Blue

    VFL Round 4: Gold Coast vs Essendon, 9.30 am Saturday, 18 April

    Need another still. They will come hard late.

    VFL Round 4: Gold Coast vs Essendon, 9.30 am Saturday, 18 April

    Good man marking Gerryn from the quick play on.

    VFL Round 4: Gold Coast vs Essendon, 9.30 am Saturday, 18 April

    Nguyen, my god. What a quarter.
  29. Red Black and Blue

    VFL Round 4: Gold Coast vs Essendon, 9.30 am Saturday, 18 April

    Cox has been excellent. Definitely signs of life in his career. Looking a little stronger too. This was also the role he should have been playing since season 1.

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVIII

    Gotthard is a talent. GWS have a real eye for small forwards.
