Off to a good start.
Goals to Bryan long range from outside 50, and Stewart has one too.
Weiderman has had 2 kicks straight to the opposition (out of 4 disposals). Can we just pay him out.
It's that time of year again, nuts have already been put on the line for who people want. Make your predictions here.
I think it's up to 6 selections in total. Just predictions please, comments go in the draft watch thread.
Pick #6: Riley Thilthorpe
Pick #7: Archie Perkins
Pick #8: Finlay...
Welcome to Essendon Zachary Clarke. Looks set to happen on the 1st December under the new AFL rules. I had thought it had happened already with no announcement.
Age: 28yr 7mth Games: 101 Born: March 28, 1990
Height: 203cm Weight: 96kg Position: Ruck
Last Drafted: Round 3, Pick...
Time to boot off the annual guessing game to see who we will pick up. Get to watching all the highligh reels on Youtube and fall in love with a player, so you can be dissapointed on draft day.

Pick #17 - Paul Ahern
Pick #20 - Connor Blakely
Pick #62 -...
If we had Gumby on the list still, we would have a LTI to promote Thurlow.
Our other option is to run with Daniher and Carlisle.
If Ryder doesn't get up next week, we're going to be in trouble.
Thought it deserved its own thread. I'm gutted by the events of today and am really trying hard to look forward.
Thompson would be coach you would think? What if he declines?
When one of our tall players is injured, potentially Carlisle this week. Some Essendon supporters call for a Daniher inclusion while others call for Gumbleton. At the start of the year TRB had Gumby clearly in front - then Gumby did his ankle and a spot opened up for Daniher.
Who is in front...
Now that the dust has settled from the GC game, and Bendigo have played.
Out: Carlisle (calf), Reimers
In: Hooker, Davis
(if Dempsey is out, then bring in Lee)
ESSENDON
B: Courtenay Dempsey, Dustin Fletcher, Cale Hooker
HB: Kyle Hardingham, Tayte Pears, Dyson Heppell
C: Michael Hibberd, Jobe...
Yes, it's that time of year again to try and guess our draft selections. The comp is just for bragging rights at the moment, unless one of our mods can sweeten it up a bit.
Right now we have 2 live picks and a Crameri upgrade. I'm going to include another live pick though as I think at least...

Anyone know anything else about this guy? Is he a chance for a rookie spot?
Finally get a game on the ABC.
Looking forward to seeing Gumby return. The riddle inside an enigma wrapped in cotton wool. Still, I can't help but liking Gumby and wishing he comes good.

Who would you vote for? Dustin Fletcher, Terry Daniher, Dick Reynolds or Bill Hutchison.

Would have liked another midfielder at least. Hird possibly wants new recruits that are already defensively minded.
Also note that we didn't take a ruck.
The new coach is going to inherit a list with some good young talent and also some ingrained problems. What are the things people think he should change?
The Game Plan: The players are pre-programmed to handball at all costs. Handballing to stationary targets should be the first thing removed...
In: Houli, Jetta, Hardingham
Out: Melksham, Lovett-Murray (ommit), Bellchambers (foot)
NLM also had Gastro during the week.
Melksham to find some ball in the VFL
B Hocking Hooker Fletcher
HB McVeigh Hurley Dempsey
C Reimers Watson Colyer
HFZaharakis Gumbleton Monfries
F Jetta...
Just interested if anyone is going out to skilled stadium tomorrow to watch the champs games?
Hopefully can jump on here tomorrow and have a bit of a chat about some of the players (and how much it will suck that GC will poach them).
After two games he has returned 0 goals. There are excuses I know, but he must be considering himself one of the luckiest players on the list to not be dropped this week. I don't want to pot the guy but he's got to do better than this.
What would be his 'pass' mark against Carlton so that he's...
Just a bit of fun, let's see who can get the closest to guessing Essendon's Draft Picks. 1 selection only per spot (no hedging your bets)
Whomb may be able to get a prize for the winner. :D Edit them as much as you like until the draft begins.
Mine are:
Pick 10:Jake Melksham
Pick 24: Ben...
Which Essendon player do you trust the most with the ball in their hands? Based on ability to keep a cool head and make an effective disposal.
I got the idea for this thread after reading a post that said that Dyson 'made them cringe' when disposing of the ball.
I know this could probably be posted on the main board, but I respect the opinion of Essendon supporters much more. Some rule changes I'd like to see for next year:
First Bounce: I think that the umpires should not be allowed to recall the first bounce of a game. It is such an anti climax. I...
Apparently fev's chest is directly connected to his face!
Did anyone else see the massive dive he took in the fourth quarter?
could he be any more of a massive cum dumpster?
With Scott Lucas looking like being out for a while is it likely that one of the Rookies will be promoted? I'm not sure if it is a likely scenario as we have a lot of young players in the team already. We at least got a good look at them in the NAB Cup. I really liked the look of Rhys Magin.
