We do have a 7-4 record in finals under Bevo. I'm very underwhelmed by our season in 2022 to date, but to say we are "so content with embarrassing showings in finals" is a stretch to say the least. Bevo has every coach except Hardwick covered with his W/L record in finals. On SM-A908B using...

Dusty is only 29yo. He has at least 3 seasons at the absolute top of his game in his current role, and then he could easily transition to permanent forward for another few seasons from 32yo onwards. While he is there Richmond will have a quite a few more opportunities to add to the trophy...

Rohan looked up and about tonight. He might have to book in some additional recovery time with the physio. On SM-A908B using BigFooty.com mobile app

He was just an ok player last week. Ryder especially and the rest of their talls killed us in the air. Ryder was sorely missed - 52 to 9 scores from stoppages foe the Tigers On SM-A908B using BigFooty.com mobile app

No he wasn't, but when it's your turn to go you take the contact, and tonight on a couple of key occasions he didn't. I rate Hill very highly, so I expected him in the prime of his career to really dominate this season. I reckon he's been well below par based on what he has done previously, and...

Apart from the the supreme awefuleness of Josh Bruce, there hasn't been a worse high profile recruit than Brad Hill this year. Been so disappointing all season and especially so tonight - looked like he wasn't keen on body contact on a few occasions. On SM-A908B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I'm not questioning the dubious events that followed Walters' clearing kick - I would be filthy if that was my team on the receiving end. All I'm suggesting is that Taberner had sufficient time and space to take possession and scrub a kick down the boundary. Game over if he did that. On...

Taberner should have taken possession and rushed a kick another 20m down the boundary. He had time and space to do so. On SM-A908B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Remember when Lloydy said that Libba wouldn't get a game in Essendon's midfield and wasn't worth trading for? Good times. On SM-A908B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Good news for the comp. Probably also opens up more possibilities for the Hill trade to happen as next year's 1st rounder can be used without a burining need to keep it in case King was still uncontracted. I know they can still trade for him next year but re-signing is a show of faith by King in...

If GC cave in and accept a lesser deal for King next year, what is honestly the point of the whole GC exercise? Surely they allow him to walk uncontracted to whoever finishes bottom of the ladder, which is some chance it will be them anyway. King with 2 years development in the system would be...

Somewhere in between the equivalent of pick 13 and pick 32 will get it done, and that's probably fair enough for all parties.

If you can do that whilst getting Hill and everyone else to the club this year, it will be an amazing result and I'd imagine there would be 17 other clubs trying to poach your list manager. Irrespective, I don't think that pick on its own or even packaged together with your 2021 first pick will...

There's a fair bit of hot air over Ben King at the moment. Surely the incumbent has a much greater chance of retaining him for 2021. St Kilda will have awful trouble facilitating anything resembling fair trade value with the high probability that next year's earlier picks will be needed to...

Of course Essendon has some percentage of accountability for one of their own players wanting to leave, seeing as they are his direct employer. If Joe was happy with all aspects of his life and career, he would not be nominating to leave his current club. I'd have thought this was obvious to...

He has publicly nominated a desire to leave your club - what on earth is far-fetched about that particular reality? He'll either be reluctantly granted his wish by EFC or he won't. My world won't change one iota whichever the result - EFC will likely continue to be an ordinary, middle of the...

Hill contract offer from the Saints is enormous and very comparable with Kelly, and unlike Kelly, Hill still has multiple years to run on his contract. They have as much right to dig their heels (as Essendon do with Joe) but the media are making them out to be arseholes. Meanwhile EFC are...

The media are largely working on your club's behalf, and by and large they have been since the club reset in 2016. Have a look at how they are treating Freo for their Hill demands if you want to see a coordinated negative media narrative.

It's all about the narrative EFC are framing with the help of the media lemmings. Daniher has family connections with Sydney, and irrespective to that plenty of F/S have been traded in the past without incident (Josh Kennedy anyone?). But the very idea of Daniher leaving Essendon (to go to a...

I love how the Daniher name is Essendon royalty, and the narrative being framed by the media lemmings is that losing him would be considered sacrilege. Yet Joe was eligible as a F/S for Sydney.

The most surprising thing about this photo is the scratch on Cameron's arm. How does one get a scratch when you avoid body contact all game?

Sam Jacobs will help them immeasurably next year. Mummy has been a great warrior but he was completely cooked for most of this year. Coniglio and Ward added to their midfield mix will obviously help as well. Salary cap squeeze is still a worry - Whitfield and Cameron will command massive...

Fish rots at the head. GWS simply followed the lead of their captain today. Richmond exuded complete and utter team ethos in everything they did today. Meanwhile the other mob indulged their captain to pissfart around with a fitness test barely an hour before the start of the game. Is it any...

He has terrible composure when the big sticks are near. But he has elite running ability and knows where to go to get the footy. Rookies tend not to have a complete skill set and he is no exception, but he can do some very important things extremely well that complement the Tiger game plan. On...

Jack's baby got closer to him than Davis did all game On SM-G930F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Phil Davis having a fitness test 90 minutes out from the opening bounce. Surely he's right to go or not. Will cost GWS significantly if he plays and breaks down. On SM-G930F using BigFooty.com mobile app

All depends on today. If GWS beat Richmond, IMO it will be the greatest finals series by any club, just edging out the Dogs in 2016 and Adelaide in 1998.

Saints 1966 has to be in the conversation :thumbsu:

Is it arrogant by GWS selecting a barely half-fit Phil Davis and dropping a like-for-like key defender Keefe, who destroyed his direct opponent last week? If Lynch or Riewoldt get off the chain because Davis can't go with either of them, will the media smash him hard next week for his...
