Longer version is even better.
He ran 150m and did like a dozen pressure acts in one play.
They say Bont deserves a Brownlow, and he does, but this bloke, for pure brilliant consistency must be second in line.
That's a big dongNah 180cm

I get emails for thatIndefatigable
Would be an awesome start to the last 12 years of his careerCharlie, Norm and AA Captain in a single season. Take a bow
Really awkward to watch. Felt like he was going to tear shreds of me just for watching itHis post game interview was something, he is pissed. Not just disappointed but genuinely pissed off, he needs a few others in the side to show that same desire.
Weve been waiting for that for years though. Durham and Caldwell cares, Langford cares. Outside that not sure many others really do. Just have to look at the effort of our backline, all senior players, and all put up pathetic effort. Mcgrath is a disgrace, putting in a performance like he did, should hang his head in shame, merrett probably couldn’t stand to look at him in the rooms after the game.His post game interview was something, he is pissed.

Was about to post similar…. Caldwell and Durham are genuine hard edged, competitors….aong with the skipper that’s about it. Maybe Ridley in his own laconic way, maybe the best version of Redman.Weve been waiting for that for years though. Durham and Caldwell cares, Langford cares.

You say you want tough guys but then say Maynard in the same sentence. Doesn't compute.we've had so many soft players for over a dozen years now. would love to have players like butters/maynard, sam powell pepper etc
When you compare him to the backline we've had for the past 15 years...You say you want tough guys but then say Maynard in the same sentence. Doesn't compute.
He's faux tough. Always willing to "fly the flag" when it's a small player but whenever it's someone bigger than him, nowhere to be found.When you compare him to the backline we've had for the past 15 years...
edit; i'm just venting at how soft essendon has been since i started following afl (2003)
He was furious with McGrath in the first quarter.Copped a hard tag from Stocker in the second half. Battled on but got no support.
Poor bloke was furious last week, wouldn't blame him for checking out now.
