I just think these days, teams are so good at coming off their man, going third up and spoiling, it just doesn't work. All the best teams are able to find players in space, not necessarily on the lead. WC are probably the one team that does a bit of bombing to Kennedy and Darling, but they also...
Disappointed to hear that if it does turn out to be the game plan. Other clubs seem to find ways of hitting up players in space inside 50, and it doesn't have to be leading forwards. It can be mids dropping back into space, small forwards finding space, shouldn't be that hard...
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Actually, I do have a question. My biggest frustration over the last umpteen years has been the incessant bombing into the forward line. I asked this question early in the pre-season...in the match sim, what does the delivery into the forward...

Anyone able to repost that photo of Kemp running laps at training, where he looks like he's had 8 pre-seasons? My Essendon mates are saying that Cripps is a beast (as a compliment, you can imagine how...
Off topic...anyone able to repost that photo of Kemp running laps at training, where he looks like he's had 8 pre-seasons? My Essendon mates are saying that Cripps is a beast (as a compliment, you can imagine how rare that is from them), want to send them the pic of Kemp so that they know what's...
I'm just happy that the wing has become a thing again. For a long while, they were just two more spots in the midfield rotation, but in the last few years, the winger seems to have made a comeback. The game is better for it I think, and it's great that we have some seriously talented young options.

Thanks to all those posting reports, much appreciated. Question to the track watchers...
Any sign of the game plan going inside 50? The last few years have been infuriating in the way we have bombed the ball inside 50. I know the three talls haven't been out there, but any sign that the mids...
Thanks Aph. Does anyone else have issues with viewing the training galleries? The tops and bottoms of pics are sometimes cropped out. In todays, I can't see the heads of players in the first few pics (stopped viewing at that point as they are usually posted in here).
I had a root canal done in my teens, about 35 years ago. Have had some infection in the tooth this year, so they did another root canal a few weeks ago. Endodontist found some cotton wool that had been left inside from the first procedure.
Updated injury report:
Siegfried (tooth) - 35 years.
Interesting that in the brief highlights packages, Kemp, Philp, Ramsay and Honey were all prepared to use their non-preferred kicking foot when required. Being able to kick both feet is massively underrated I think.
RE: Martin...
From what I can tell, GC used all 5 of their picks, so cannot use a pick in the PSD.
Melbourne used 3 of their 5 I think, so they have 2 spots available on their senior list?
The Fox coverage was disappointing. They kept showing clubs' recruiting boxes AFTER they'd picked their player. They should have been showing the recruiting box of each club before they picked ie discussing their pick, on the phone etc. Fox missed all the drama. Whether this was a directive from...
Wasn't thinking PSD (that will be Martin). Was thinking we might want to leave a spot open in case of injury or for the midseason draft next year, in a similar way to how we picked up Gibbons. Suspect (no inside information) that's what we'll do. In which case, only one more draft pick (43).
Anyone else notice that Liddle wasn't with SOS and the gang in the draft 'box' tonight? Was definitely there last year. (Not saying Liddle's going anywhere, just an interesting observation.)
Didn't we have 5 list spots available before tonight Jim? If that's correct, Kemp, Philps, 43, Martin and a spot open to add a player later. Wouldn't have used 55 in that case.
