    AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer

    Very up and down season for him. Started like a house and fire, but looked like a burned out shell by the end. 10 goals in the first 3 games and looked like he could be one of the top forwards in the comp 24 going in to the bye 18 after the bye, but half of them cam in 2 games against Freo (4)...

    Apparently most of the support staff and cheer squads for Nth v Hawks didn't make it ro the ground on time (source is mate who was a plane with them that got turned around and sent back to Melbourne)

    AFL Player #23: Harrison Jones - Clocks up 50th game v Gold Coast - 5/8

    To be fair, some of those millennials got to experience some or all of 4 GF wins in their first 20 years on the planet, and 0 finals wins at all for the last 20; so they might be turning to stats obsession because they have nothing else football wise and have forgotten what successful...

    Preview Round 24 - Essendon vs Brisbane Lion - Saturday 24 August - 7:25 PM - The Gabba

    Pretty lacklustre changes after an uncompetitive game, but that's been our our go to for most of the year. Might be for the best that the younger guys can go into the off-season not coming off an absolute thrashing by the Lions

    Opinion Worst commentators in your time

    BT by a lot Bruce by the end was pretty bad but his prime was excellent That guy who ended up being a local politician in WA was shit Der-wayne ain't great At the other end, I've really enjoyed Matt Hill on the few occasions I've heard him call a game

    Analysis Why are we s**t?

    I don't want to hang shit on Hawthorne because they are a much better run club than us (not hard), but there is nothing in that mission statement that screams 'different'. There may be something in the 5 year plans, but the overarching statement is the same wank-word bingo that us and every...

    Preview Round 24 - Essendon vs Brisbane Lion - Saturday 24 August - 7:25 PM - The Gabba

    Lions are playing for either a top 4 spot (if the Cats somehow lose to WCE) or a home final, so I'd expect them to look to put us to the sword early

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

    Only seen a shitty twitter replay on the phone, but does Houston hit Rankin high or does he basically hit himself hard that he folds Rqnkin in half and Rankin smacks his head into Houston? And if it's the latter, does the AFL care about 'principle point of contact' or is it just if the hit leads...

    AFL Player # 1: Andrew "Pidge" McGrath (VC)

    How do you spend 8 years in an organisation with the resources Essendon has and not really improve on a fundamental skill of the job you are employed for? I know there's a lot more to footy than just kicking, and AFL training isn't meant to be skills development because it assume a certain level...

    AFL Player #10: Sam Weideman

    He reads the play well, he covers his man pretty well, but when it's time to get the ball or impact the contest he just doesnt have the instinct/mongrel/call it whatever you want to actually get in and make a difference, so he gets you bodied at the contest, or he loses a ground ball fight and...

    AFL Autopsy Season done, thanks Swans

    New week, same shit. Backline is dangerously under-skilled. Forward line is one paced and can't kick straight. Midfield doesn't understand defensive running Noone understands how to successfully kick the ball into the 50. Good times all around. Shield, Martin, Draper, Caldwell and Roberts...

    Why not just let Bryan run out the game? Surely the more footy he can play, the better?

    I still say Wright is sitting at home wondering just what has changed since rnd 1. You see a lot of guys getting cleaned up in pretty unrealistic marking contests and nothing comes of it
