Opinion Essendon - where are they at?

[Grin]

If they bring Hird back I can see them bringing Dodoro back too. That's if the coterie groups get their way.

After grifting a wage out of Essendon for over 20 years, how much did the great Dodo sue them for?

 

[Bipolar Bear]

Essendon fans used to walk into games with a "Were gonna win this" attitude, regardless of ladder position. Even as an opposition fan, I miss that swagger.

I remember being this way. I see it in Hawks and Cats fans. Toothless stuff. Hoping that Andrew Welsh and co bring it all back.

It was reported at the time that the amount was in the high six figure range. I'm guessing $6-800k.

I wish I really sucked that bad at what I do.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Marto out for the season.

It’s ok …we’ll get Setterfield back in to fill the void .

I mean, the urge to kick essendon when they are down is in my heart, but what shit luck for the guy. He's the only guy I imagine on your list who could hit the elite tier of AFL players

Drafted well but sheesh they can't take a trick.

Is it really drafting well if you use a top 10 pick on a kid who you haven't done your due diligence on?

Pre-existing significant back injury.

Just Essendon things.

They knew about the injury.

How do you know they drafted well? All they have done is drafted…

Won’t know if it’s well or not for years..

Thanks Captain obvious .
Obviously I don't know for sure.
They appear to have drafted well.
Sharp looks about 30 so should be ready to go now if he's any good

 

[Former Decathlete]

They knew about the injury.

Yep.
Not that unusual for a bloke to have back issue after a huge growth spurt.
Par for the course.

don't let common sense get in the way of agenda posting from head****ed oppo fans

 

[THE_GUN]

Merrett , Caldwell, Durham, Martin, Sharp, Robey midfield

We are so back

You forgot Parish , Surely he will play in 2026

Still makes zero sense… why do they appear to have drafted well

Who appears to have not drafted well… you have zero idea about any of them

Well I've seen Robey play live for starters.
He's something.

[CobberRodgers]

Not good enough for you captain expert?
You can only have an opinion if you have been inside the rectum of a player or something?
Did you hide under Sam Lalors bed or something you creep?
You said I know "zero" and thats bullshit. You are wrong
Ive seen him play and formed an opinion he's definitely something.
Now come back at me in two years if he's shit otherwise **** off.

inside the rectum got me

Gone way over your head… I really hope you’re a kid..

Incredible. They must have promised him a job for life for that amount to be true.

We expect Darcy to regain his elite form this season and once again dominate the competition in all facets of the game.

 

[jdisc]

bring back dank

 

[Shane Heard]

bring back dank

He’s in Russia now. Diplomatic immunity.

That's how Jon Ralph interviews Richmond players

Jordan Ridley is the only other not inside the recent draft crop I'd say had AA potential. Merrett is elite.

I thought that was South Africa.

 

[Shane Heard]

Nope. Russia. Assad lets him stay in a guesthouse out the back.

Caldwell is better than Ridley.

Archie Roberts came runner up bnf this year after only 27 games second season.

He’s definitely one who will become elite for us.
