    Review 2019 Leadership Group - Changes for next year?

    Bring the youngsters along by setting elite standards on the training track, hating when Dons lose, respected and not being a Prima Donna. This is not necessarily the best players.

    If our window to win finals is now, I am disappointed we didn’t get an extra forward and a big bodied, aggressive mid fielder. Jenkins and Bonar were there for the taking. Can’t rely on Browns soundness, McKernan’s inconsistency and Joe who doesn’t want to be there. And we don’t appear to have...

    Reckon Browns major issue is soundness. Limped off early in final after starting well. McKernan’s issue is consistency. Jenkins is completely sound, has a big tank and consistent.

    Reckon Bombers are too accepting of guys that have average to poor disposal skills. Would be nice to get some silk in that department. Don’t reckon we will ever threaten until we get that.

    AFL Player #15: Jayden Laverde

    Reckon Laverde really started to show something in the 2nd half of the season. He started kicking more accurately... looked much more relaxed. And he won a lot of one on ones. His handpass to Walla against North to win the game was an example of his class. Reckon he is on the up big time...

    Team Mgmt. Talk about the makeup of our list - midfield balance, height profile, endurance runners

    Not true about Jenkins. Reason why he gets in behind the defence to score goals is that he is a gut runner. His defender cant keep up. McKernan improved a lot this year, but his final against West Coast was a freaking disgrace. We were relying on him so much to play well. He had 1 possession to...

    Review 2019 Leadership Group - Changes for next year?

    We had no chance of succeeding in 2019 with a rabble of a leadership group. Heppell, Merrett, Myers, Daniher, Fantasia Seeing Hurley play with a sore shoulder and literally cry when we lost (as did Hooker), those 2 are the first selected for 2020. We don't need any prima donnas in 2020...

    Exactly. He is definitely leadership team material. We need replacements for Myers, Daniher and Fantasia. We need players that don’t give a f#ck about the club to maintain our high standards.

    True, but Howard put his hand up to ruck when Ryder didn’t come up due to injury, and Howard did a really good job at it. Lycett was also injured. That game was the end of Paddy at Port. Pretty sure it was against Collingwood.

    Isn’t Howard the guy that kept Ryder out of the Port team. And now he wants to join him at the Saints to see if he can continue to terrorise him.

    Cox averages 1 goal a game and Jenkins 2 goals a game. If Pies remove Cox, reckon they would immediately sign up Jenkins. Because Jenkins gives them a greater chance of winning a flag. As he would improve Essendon’s chance of winning a flag.

    He rucked mainly deep in the forward line with the Crows. So Jacobs usually stayed outside forward 50 for a breather. I thought Jenkins went OK getting ball to Betts etc. The opposition ruckman usually stayed with Jacobs. So Jenkins would often compete against a non full time ruckman.

    Any thoughts on Jenkins on a 2 year deal. He is 200CM and can run all day. Most importantly, kick straight and consistently kicks an average of over 2 goals a game. And he has winning finals experience. Apart from the big one in 2017. He can also pinch hit in the ruck. Hurley's best mate...

    Need a mature aged bigger bodied midfielder that can play a heavy tag role similar to Clarke and run both ways. Any chance that we could get Jacob Townsend?

    Draper does heaps around the ground... averages 20 possessions. Agile, quick, nice hands in a marking contest. And he plays equally as well in the 4th quarter as the first. It is little wonder that the SA clubs are trying to get hold of him. He averaged over 50 hit outs in the VFL finals and...

    Based on Dodo's previous quality late picks in the draft, I reckon he would already have his eyes on a few good young players. Draper is a beauty as an example. Essendon Draft picks: 34, 66, 84

    What time does the Shiel bizo close? Can't stop thinking that McCartney is absolutely hell bent on beating Dodoro at any cost to GWS or Shiel as payback for the embarrassment he went through over Stringer.
