    AFL Autopsy RND 12: Loss To The Suns

    Game really showed where we are at, and to be honest I think we are ahead of where most were expecting. We didn't make the most of the early dominance. Then GC had the game on their terms for a long time and we were soundly beaten until the last quarter. The defence hung in there and kept us in...

    AFL Player # 9: Dylan Shiel

    I think you should keep him if you can. Pick 53 won't give us what he can as midfield depth if he stays fit. I agree he probably isn't best 22 right now. But as coverage, he is a senior body in a pretty young midfield mix outside Merritt and Parish. I would understand him wanting to go, but for...

    AFL Player #41: Saad El-Hawli - Welcome to Essendon (Pick 13 in 2024 MSD)

    I like the pick. Speed is one of our clear deficiencies. Ready to roll, versatile, upward trajectory of improvement. 6 months to impress. Hopefully makes the VFL a bit more dynamic off half back too. Welcome SEH!

    AFL Toast Dreamtime Winning

    Try to remember what you thought of this team before the season started. Everyone unhappy at 8-2-1 give me a spell. If your unhappy you don't understand what over achieving looks like or how to be happy with your lot. Bloody brilliant to be sitting 2nd after 11.

    AFL Toast Rd10 vs. North Melbourne - Medium Win against Little Brother

    North smashed us in the middle and its probably a wake up call they needed. Nth lack the experience and class across the whole ground, but credit that they cracked in and made us earn it. Tbh nothing wrong with that, and probably better for us in the long run. The most genrous of supporters...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

    Theoretically, would anyone swap Perkins for Stengle?

    AFL Player #14: Jordan Ridley - Wins Yiooken in first game back - 25/5

    Bring him in and get some game intensity into those legs. The defensive unit will need to adjust, maybe with Kelly or Cox changing roles.

    AFL Player #33: Alwyn Davey Jr - Lindsay Griffith Rising Star

    I don't think he is playing in his position. I also think the coaches know this but want to expose him to the standard. Looks more like and outside mid to me. I think he needs a tank and some muscle, but those will come in time. The skills and speed are there.

    Preview Round 10: Essendon Bombers vs Oliver Twist Kangaroos, Marvel Stadium, Sunday 19th May, 1:10pm

    I went to the Nth - GC game with my boy as he loves all things footy. It is hard to overstate how poor North looked. It was a humid night and skills all around low, but they just all seemed very low on everything. Confidence, energy, and belief. While I don't trust our team just yet, if they...

    AFL Toast Nailbiter against The West Coast

    I'm with this. We get more out of a good contest than a roll over anyway. Lots to work on, but definitely the better team in the end. Get the points. Well ahead of anybodies predictions. We should be proud and look at the improvements that have been made, while embracing there are plenty more...
