I had an argument with an Essendon mate who said the only reason Stringer is unfit is because of injuries. I had to disagree and say he is injury prone because he’s overweight and unfit.
Good win Saints but hold your horses ..they started 8-3 last season ..won five of their first six. Long way to go
No excuse for Essendon they played against a very depleted StKilda

jeez so inexperienced
as they always have been
we have 5 players left in the VFL who can play
I'd say 7 for us based on the past, but not sure all 7 would play under Ross
Steele
King
Membrey
Billings
McKenzie
Coffield
Hayes
and maybe even Jones possibly although I don't want him
but still, 2 of our 2 KPF's have 4 games of experience and Cordy has been a backman all of his career and is helping Marshall Ruck and Owens has 10 games exp Higgins and Butler only players with experience
Brad understands that leadership like Hepp displayed on the 150th celebration night doesn’t grow on trees … he’s a club icon and still has plenty to offer

Essendon supporters should be disappointed but proud and excited after last night. They did fight back well and certainly showed some good skills and ball movement at times and they certainly are looking better than last year. Alwyn Davey Junior is going to be unbelievable! Will be better than Eddie betts and Charlie Cameron combined. I’d had never been to a St Kilda v Essendon game before, the supporters were fantastic, passionate and loud, but also respectful.
I don't understand sans a weight condition or metabolism issue, how a healthy young man training within a professional regime with top notch nutritional can be overweight? Even with injuries, diet can be controlled to control weight. The big issue with injuries is muscle joint atrophy and strength loss due to not using those body parts as much or at all.I had an argument with an Essendon mate who said the only reason Stringer is unfit is because of injuries.

The bloke clearly doesn’t care enough to be a top AFL footballer. Even if you are injured there’s no excuse for an elite athlete to get fat. He’s just lazy.
Absolute bloody ROAR!If it was Brad Scott he'd already be heading to the board for a contract extension.
A big part of the reason we dropped off in the 2nd half of last year was that we lost some key personnel to injury (in particular Steele for several weeks, and also Howard, which left us very short down back). This year we’re already smashed with injury to very key personnel and yet we’re still winning.Good win Saints but hold your horses ..they started 8-3 last season ..won five of their first six.

They are not on the injury list. Actually both are playing today.Guelfi

There was nothing to be proud or excited about all i saw was the same farking mistakes being made that has plagued this club for years. Players turning it over,kicks going straight to a St Kilda player under no pressure etcEssendon supporters should be disappointed but proud and excited after last night.

What's the best 22 look like all fit?A big part of the reason we dropped off in the 2nd half of last year was that we lost some key personnel to injury (in particular Steele for several weeks, and also Howard, which left us very short down back). This year we’re already smashed with injury to very key personnel and yet we’re still winning.
It augurs very well for how we could go if we ever get remotely close to full strength, later in the year.
It’s very hard to say now, as some guys have really stepped up. Eg Stocker would be hard to drop (9 intercepts, 88% DE, 0 turnovers last night), Caminiti and Owens would be dangerous on lesser opponents with King and Membrey taking the best defenders. Plus we haven’t seen how the injured crew outside of Steele will go under Ross.What's the best 22 look like all fit?
All true.Good win Saints but hold your horses ..they started 8-3 last season ..won five of their first six. Long way to go
He can start the coaching and stop the playing earlyView attachment 1647100
Fantastic for the dons that Hepp will be on the payroll for at least 2 more years after this season.
Leaders like Hepp are hard to find
It’s not the wins it’s the style.
