Where tf are our small fwds?? Everytime the balls hits the floor we’re all at sea.

 

[Bombermania]

Nice reminder of the value of home ground advantage in the old days.

 

[Petrify]

Martin and Durham are such a nice wing combination for the future. Love it.

 

[Jobe Watson]

The quicker guys like Laverde and Kelly are out of our best team, the better.

 

[TheUnicorn]

yay

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

5 tackles for Menzie up forward is good so far.

 

[Shanghaistu]

On the upside there must be plenty of learnings on offer today…

I think it’s more along the lines that we can’t play both.

Have not seen any of it as I am at Penrith for the NRL . As long as they finish out the game with some effort I am not super concerned. Saints may be having a bit of a reset as well so the are likely to be around 8 to 10 wins.

How did the Cats go?

We may well be shithouse in 2023, but the pre-season isn't the insight for it

comparing Essendon to Geelong

Can‘t play in the wind, can’t play in the rain, can’t play with a weird oblong ball

 

[Mr Sasquatch]

Just pretend to care is all I ask

 

[eth-dog]

always an excuse, when has poor effort and skill execution been acceptable in praccy's in preparation for round 1? Country footy clubs are more focused than this rabble! Only at Essendon...this club is so full of s**t talk from everyone associated its become normal to be s**t

Of course. You're right, we're bottom 4 for experience and average age in the AFL.

The sky is falling.

I don’t think I’ve seen a team where team mates spoil or get in each others way more than this side, players have zero awareness of team mates let alone opposition

Your brain must've stayed in the eighties if you think that's what my point was.

 

[bennyg12]

1 and done for Martin

 

[eth-dog]

Oh Zerk

 

[Call Me Cake]

No injuries. That's the only thing I want out of this.

 

[Lore]

I mean you can realistically not believe that this is a top 8 side, which is the line that Truck was pushing last year and Scott has pushed since he arrived, while also noting that the nonsense we put up with at the end of last year was precisely because the powerbrokers at the club believe the team is better than that.

The powerbrokers can be wrong. That’s also a thing. They’ve certainly been wrong plenty of times before.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Losing with the wind too. Nice.

Sun in Perkins eyes? wtf was that awkward shit.

 

[eth-dog]
