Probably with Sheedy as well in fairness

Long live the king

Geelong's doctor says hi

Someone will be done for HTB whilst having their arm broken at the same time soon.

They put someone on the defensive side. Not rocket science. The disappointing thing is Draper either trying to thump the ball or grab it to make a rushed non targeted kick. Virtually all the time.

Well, obviously it’s because, er, I mean clearly it’s due to, um, I mean when you look at it, you can see that…. Ok?

He has played at least 2 already. Looked ok but nothing sensational. Kind of how you want to see it with former players that didnt quite get a break at Ess.

Was not much in it at all. Surprised he got 1 week and expect he will get off when they appeal. Nice for us re Rankine too. And Gawn.

Are you differing about difference differential?

Yes but kind of helps us if they win (I don’t realistically think we good enough to finish above them).

8 tackles for Shiel. Impressive.

Doesn't have the fitness base as 1st year player and we had shut up shop anyway so ball not getting to our F50.

Do also bear in mind that was in wet conditions. Not sure what he normally goes at.

Dillon (emphasis added) says umpiring is as good as it's ever been. What else is as good as it's ever been? I will start us off Essendon's transition defence is as good as it's ever been.

I can kind of accept the Ridley decision since they changed interpretation mid season (don't get me started) but the Stewart one has to be HTB. That was more HTB than Ridley (who actually had no prior but because the tackle held his arm to the side, it is somehow looked at differently). There...

Why do we have 4 umpires?

Worst quarter of umpiring. Ever.

No.

Naturally

Should definitely get 1 week for that. Out of curiosity, what did he do, btw?

Am not conflicted at all. Dismiss the appeal and hang him good. Well, you know, give him 1 week.

We got killed out of the centre by a crap side that had no Kelly or Harley.

I think Scott loves guys like Laverde that always try their hearts out and have a crack. He isnt the best player on our list by any stretch but puts the effort in. Real good game against WCE. He isn't going to be dropped this year.

Parish to the Cats makes total sense. People can go from complaining about him at Ess to complaining about him at Geel as he becomes a superstar

Not sure I would be celebrating that win if I was the Dees

Exactly. Very poor. Should have been off being examined if he did hit his head but instead takes an important mark a minute later.

The solution:

I think the issue is that they have looked like they could win a premiership and at times the media have gone as crazy about some of their players (Rozee, Butter et al) as they are now about Warner, Gulden and Heeney. It is the failure to take their decent chances that is working against Ken...

Ess now favourites with the bookies against the Cats next week. Would there have been a time in the past 20 years when we were favourites against them?

That’s a shame
