    Review Round 8, 2026 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

    I'd be at pains to point out that the "extra seconds" at the end of pretty much every quarter has been going on for YEARS. Basically as long as the countdown clock has been shown permanently on TV screens. So unrelated to these new software issues they've been having this year.

    One day it will decide a final. Possibly a Grand Final.

    2026 fixture wishlist/discussion

    Really surprised (although I probably shouldn't be) that we haven't been name-dropped at all in the AFL website or SEN's discussions today to feature in any Thursday or Friday night games. Sounds like a huge win for me... Won't need to burn any annual leave and hopefully all our away games are...

    Review Round 8, 2026 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

    I can't possibly imagine it would be electronic in any way. Those signals travel at the speed of light, which can travel multiple times around the world in a single second. Even the speed of sound travels from one end of the ground to the other in less than a second. If it's reflexes then...

    Review Round 8, 2026 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

    Maybe 🤷 Maybe the two timekeepers (I think there are 2?) do a verbal check to make sure both clocks (if there are 2) are at 0 and it's time to blow the siren?

    Review Round 8, 2026 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

    Songs were played after Essendon goals on Saturday. Perhaps not quite as loudly as for other teams. Portions of our supporter base also sang our songs acapella 🙂

    Review Round 8, 2026 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

    This is the case I reckon 80% of quarters. Once you see it a few times you will keep seeing it. Note how the clock always vanishes with 3 seconds to go? On both 7 and Fox? This is why. Because if it went to 0:00 and then the siren didn't go imagine the furore. There would be screenshots galore...

    Review Round 8, 2026 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

    I have seen this whiteboard and was shocked, angered and offended by what was written about me. Strengths: Ruthless. Throws toys out of cot when we don't turn a 70 point lead at 3 quarter time into a 100 point win. Weaknesses: Spoilt brat. Throws toys out of cot when we don't turn a 70 point...

    20 tackles in the 1st quarter. 7 in the 2nd. And 4 of those came in the last 2 minutes of the quarter with Essendon camped inside 50.

    We led 6 goals to 1 at quarter time in the corresponding game last year. 😬

    20 tackles so far to be fair. Probably the most we've had to quarter time this season?

    Clever folks I'm sure already know this, but anyway... How to get to the airport for 59 cents: 1. Make sure you have any auto-direct-debit turned off on your Go Card! 2. Run your balance down as far as you dare. I got it down to 59 cents. It took a while with the 50c fares because I don't use...

    The older I get, the more I come to realise that it matters little the industry... There are so many people who are doing jobs they lack both the qualifications and the intellect to perform adequately. Which presents a real opportunity to those who do, one no (currently existing) equalisation...

    Interesting to see we only averaged 72 points per game at the Gabba last year. Must have only won 2 or 3 games there yeah?

    See even that is still more complicated than it needs to be. You don't need to cap access at all. All you need to say is if you want to draft an academy (or father son) player, you need to have a pick within half a round (currently 9 spots) of where they are selected. Simple. So for Will...

    Non Lions Discussion 2026

    Hawthorn strike me as a team who are exceptionally well coached and well drilled and so generally play above their individual abilities. They are not the sort of team I would want to win a Qualifying Final against and then meet them again in a Grand Final. They generally have things up their...

    It has the Suns at #10, with a sub-100 "effective" percentage. They too, have had an easy (5th easiest) draw. So Melbourne's opponents so far, by my analysis are ranked #2 (us), #9, #10, #8 (St Kilda actually 🤔), #11 (Carlton), #15 (Essendon) and #18 (Richmond). Their % of 102 (which is low...
