We could have one of those "come out breathing fire because the coach got sacked" games that other teams have...

What? From our lot of soft, meek, mental pygmies? We are the epitome of the Sam Newman “oh well”

It was firmly tongue in cheek.

I probably should have elaborated.

If Norf can do it... and it was against the Tigers too.

Play the kids. Play the kids.

You can not just drop them after one game.

We have to play Bryan or he will leave.

Bryan out.

Make your minds up.

Love the play the kids rhetoric then drop them after a game

Essendon’s highest ever loss vs Richmond is 74 points. I’ll be surprised if Richmond doesn’t pass that.

Maybe the new coach bonus will save us?

Eyre is barely vfl standard

I see a bit in him
not sure if it’s rose coloured glasses but I like his size and his competitiveness
i am tired of the 190-193c/m backman who are not big enough or fast enough

 

[Cold Sober]

Heppell and Hurley deserve a send off game

 

[JT_the_Man]

In - Hurley
Out - Don't really care tbh, as long as it isn't Heppell who is also a decent shot to be playing his last game here

Wouldn't mind seeing some combo of Menzie, Voss, etc. also.

Who should we drop after last game?

Agreed. Very good down low for a bloke his size. Obviously need to hold his marks but is getting better. Reminds me of a Sydney style defender that they persist with and eventually becomes a stud.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Really looking forward to this. Should be great!

Who should we drop after last game?

Reminded me how much I love that film, and Oldman!

 

[bombreys]

If Hurley comes in and looks good, is there any way in the world he gets a spot next year? Rookie list or something?

Or is this 100% it for him?

Suspect a retirement announcement isn’t too far away.

I legitimately forget there’s a game on this week

Crazy, isn't it?

In case anyone was wondering, I couldn't be ****ed doing the preview when all the shit went down
