Great game yesterday. But still gave away too many free kicks.
A couple of them were trademark dodgy frees against.

It's a shame we never saw him in tandem with Bellchambers, as they look like they could form a good partnership, in theory at least.

Just must be played before Ambrose, if he's needed as no.1 ruckman some weeks so be it but don't drop him when he's not required to be no.1 ruckman.

Yeah

Quick google search reminded how good Johnathan Simpkin (Box Hill/Hawthorn) has been this year.
("Bests in 10 of 18 games with a clear BOG in 4 of them")
Good argument that Smack was best on in the 10 or so games he played in the first half of the year.

It would be one of the club's bigger **** ups in the last few years if he wasn't signed as that article seems to be hunting is a possibility.

But I'm certain we would be jumping at the chance to have him for 3+

"
McKernan is yet to find out whether Essendon will extend his contract beyond this season, but he confirmed he wants to stay at the club in 2016.

"I spoke to my manager and he's been in discussions with the club but we'll have to see what happens," McKernan said.

"100 per cent I'd be happy to stay. I don't want to go anywhere.""

If the club doesn't re-sign him I will be absolutely livid.
