AFL Player 31: Zach Reid
This is not the BigFooty way. -
AFL Player 16: Archie Perkins
A couple of weeks of good form in the VFL do not undo the previous months of elite-level crapshows. -
AFL Player 41: Saad El-Hawli
That timeline is for no surgery. Surgery where they put in a plate and screws can bring it to the 4-8 weeks range. -
AFL Player 13: Nik Cox - Returns to AFL level after 630 days out due to concussion
I didn't see the point in the role he was asked to play. -
AFL Autopsy Round 8 loss to the Lions
Then everyone has done all that they could do. Delist him now. -
AFL Autopsy Round 8 loss to the Lions
On a positive note, some young players look like they have something to work with. Robey, Sharp, Nguyen and Day-Wicks got involved and looked to make some things happen. Durham had a good game. Some players need to get better, Reid needs to be better 1:1. Not sure what Cox's role was masking... -
AFL Autopsy Round 8 loss to the Lions
If Brisbane really wanted Curtin to kick a goal should have just let him play on McKay. That's on you Brisbane. edit: they did. Nothing more to be done. -
Game Day Round 8: Essendon vs Brisbane - Marvel Stadium - Saturday 02/05/26 @ 12:35 AEST
Guy in the crowd behind Peter was fast asleep. 😴 -
AFL Player 12: Will Setterfield - not injured - 21/4
What are you counting exactly? -
Preview Round 8: Essendon vs Brisbane, Docklands, Saturday 02/05/26 @ 12:35 AEST
I watched Parish chasing, I think he was already self managing. -
AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay
Said Nick Riewoldt. It worked for Peter Wright, because they are exactly the same player. -

Bombers: 10% discount forever. I like it. -
Preview Round 8: Essendon vs Brisbane, Docklands, Saturday 02/05/26 @ 12:35 AEST
Out: May, Kako, McKay In: Nguyen, Unwin, Johnson. Edit. 2 small pressure forwards to come in. Blakiston goes back to replace McKay (both were bad, but it fixes one problem). -
Preview Round 8: Essendon vs Brisbane, Docklands, Saturday 02/05/26 @ 12:35 AEST
I can’t believe how many people calling for Cox in and I’ve even seen Perkins… Neither are AFL standard, although Cox has improved a little bit. Leave them in the VFL IMO. -
AFL Player 10: Isaac Kako - back stress fracture, TBC
And then Jesus did say unto the supporting multitude, verily, I shall lay upon thee a plague. Neither the tall nor the short shall escape it... Essendonians 3:15 Thanks, so locusts next? -
Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2026
If we get a MSD pick is there a good small forward prospect to support Kako? -
AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay
I'll quote this, as it fits my comment. I think McKay also suffers from picking the wrong option (low IQ). So throw that in the mix with all the other debuffs; fumbly, uncompetitive, led to ball... -
AFL Player 46: Lachlan Blakiston
He seemed better when he was rucking for longer, and Wright was more forward. The last couple of weeks haven't been as good as the previous, shocker ANZAC Day. He is a backup in a couple of positions and does an OK job. If Bryan can't come in in the next couple of weeks and be an improvement... -
AFL Player 5: Elijah Tsatas - dropped 😱
Ouch!!! that's gotta sting. -
AFL Player 12: Will Setterfield - not injured - 21/4
He has gone from 13-14 games at the highest level. Hang on, scratch the highest level part, I'll count VFL games too. Hang on, scratch the games part, I'll count VFL games where he is recovering or spends time out injured, hang on, scratch the games part entirely, I'll count games when he isn't... -
AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay
Only McKay could make McStay look like a bonified star. -
Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVIII
So far, the games this weekend are not close at all. -
AFL Player 3: Darcy Parish - 'managed' 😱
He is frustrating, has a good couple of games, then serves up nothing. You'd hope that someone with his experience could be more consistent (I mean not consistently bad, but more like the last few weeks). -

VFL Round 5: Essendon vs Collingwood, 2.05 pm, Friday, 24 April
He pushed others away, and went to ground as he kicked a goal. Got to his feet, but was holding his head... kept playing. -
VFL Round 5: Essendon vs Collingwood, 2.05 pm, Friday, 24 April
Playing forward and has kicked one. Floating in and out of the game. -
VFL Round 5: Essendon vs Collingwood, 2.05 pm, Friday, 24 April
Silly Guelfi - after a good patch. -
VFL Round 5: Essendon vs Collingwood, 2.05 pm, Friday, 24 April
Should have passed to Nguyen then. -
VFL Round 5: Essendon vs Collingwood, 2.05 pm, Friday, 24 April
Bryan a late in for tomorrow or injurred? Not playing in the VFL.
