Who is the Glamour Side of 2018?

[Trav 20]

OK.

Essendon lose to rubbish sides and occasionally beat a good side having an off day.

Our record against good sides wasn't particularly bad - about what you'd expect for where we finished. Big wins over West Coast and Port at home. Closer win vs Geelong where they came home strong. Only Adelaide consistently beat us up last year. Most of the other top 8 games in the H&A were close eg vs Sydney/GWS. Obviously got spanked in the final though.

We definitely do lose to rubbish sides. I think we made up a decent proportion of Brisbane's and Carlton's wins for the year.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Essendon have the right credentials

 

[electricfeel]

I thought this was going to be a hot AFL players thread

Gil has been actively promoting Essendon for some time, to try to cover that stigma associated with their disgraceful drug taking culture.

He handed the MOTY and Rising Star awards to them, even though players from other clubs were far more deserving of the awards.

'The Pharmacist' apparently received a please explain email from Gil the other day, stating 'if we are going to bend over backwards to help clean up the public's opinion of you and your rabble club, please do at least try to be competitive in games'.

Expect the Herald Sun, the AFL's media arm, to print a lot of headlines like, 'Brave Essendon in Narrow Defeat', yet, in the game, the Cats would have smacked on 10 goals in the last quarter to win by 89 points.

Lol MOTY is voted for by the fans.

It's amazing how Hawthorn supporters are so salty about rising star.

Well yeah, winners of awards and the like are usually handed trophies to physically signify their success. You'd know this being a Hawks fan?

Is all that salt for that massive chip on your shoulder?

Essendon don’t need promotions mate, especially from Gil. We are already in everyones head, especially yours. Go dons

Melbourne will be the Showtime Lakers of the AFL.

Ahh McGrath's Rising Star. The gift that never stops giving...

 

[TheKanga]

Melbourne or Collingwood.

 

[roacheee]

Definitely Melbourne

Don't rubbish your own team mate, that's what we're here for

 

[iGNITER]

Port or Essendon

If glamour means high scoring with no substance it will be Essendon.

They'll beat up on rubbish teams and lose to quality teams because they have zero grunt in their midfield.

It certainly won't be the Dees, who were the second best contested team in 2017.

We actually struggle against the s**t teams because they set up to defend against us, We like teams who attack us.

 

[Franc de Borges]

According to the media it's Brisbane. Despite a threepeat of last or equal last finishes, you'd think they'd assembled the greatest teen brigade since the Hitler Youth.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Geelong now with Ablett returning

An exceptional amount of pain, and the season hasn’t even started yet!

The rising star comment though

You’ve won 4 flags in the past decade and you’re still melting over an irrelevant award

Headf****d

 

[Beerfish]

The rising star comment LOL

#head*ed

Literally just edited that in lmao

 

[SCRAY72]

Essendon

 

[donkeypunchd]

Biased here but could be WCE.

Typically high scoring with a great forward line that could become something else if Ryan and/or Rioli light it up.
New look mid field isnt the best mid field going around but looks to be quite solid and definitely more dynamic than last year. Backline is one of the best and if Jetta has a big season of HBF then there will be some immpressive displays of rebound defence to compliment the huge intercept marking power already there.
They only just snuck into the final 8 last year by smacking the grand finalists then turned on the game of the finals with Port so might be an improver against the odds this year.

Melbourne and Essendon are my other picks.

Yeah, nah.

 

[HBF]

Melbourne or Essendon for me.

McGrath deserved the Rising Star.
