    Delisted Adrian Dodoro - Leaving EFC. #putoutyourjackets

    J.Davey on LTIL so costs us nothing in terms of list spots. People forget that Stewart was one of our better KPDs in 2021 so no reason why he can't get back to that level, especially if BZT isn't up to the task. Tippa will be an invaluable mentor for Davey twins, Munkara & Tex up forward. If he...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency X - Club has elected not to fill list spot - Davey returning from injury?

    The below 'current state of play' opinion piece found on another site, seems about right. A few points to add: 1. Ham, Eyre & Waterman appear to be the three most obvious/likely NOT to receive new contracts IMO, potentially creating two additional names to our Seniors list outs (see below) + 1...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency X - Club has elected not to fill list spot - Davey returning from injury?

    Am gonna press a case for Stocker here, an obvious upgrade / replacement for Ham. Stocker is taller, 15kg heavier (doesn't get bumped out of the way), stronger, and a better pressure player than Ham. Fits the Brad Scott mould (tough and fearless) & can play all over the ground if needed. Carlton...

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    Brad Scott took North to 5 finals campaigns in the 9.5 years he coached, and his best home & away season was 2014, when North had 16 wins. That year they beat both grand finalists Sydney and Hawthorn. The last time Essendon had 16 or more wins was 2001. Brad Scott is exactly what this club...

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    Agreed, Brad Scott coached Norf to finals 50% of the time during his tenure (inc. 2 prelims) and with an ordinary list (on average) over his 10-year period as well as being hindered by the club's financial woes throughout. Norf also finished inside the Top 10 80% of the time during their H&A...

    North to Clarkson: "No rush Alastair but we would just like an indication as to what you are thinking at this stage?" Clarkson: (replying with a selfie)

    Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

    Comparing Rutten to Hardwick is like comparing a marshmallow to a diamond in the rough. Bottom line: In order to achieve premiership success, we need to be ruthless on & off the field. Clarko (if not too late) is our man & I reckon right now he would favour our list (in terms of 3-5 year...

    Opinion Get Clarko to The Hangar - 5 year deal done says Heppellfreak (post #334) - now with poll

    I think “Yeah look” Rutten looked lost, dazed & confused toward the end of West Coast’s first 100+ point game in 27 matches! Defensively Essington were an utter disgrace. That alone shows that there has been no on-field progress since Truck became the sole head coach in 2021. Main problem for...

    AFL Player #22: Sam Durham

    Agree, the kid could be Perko's brother. Also quoted as 190cm by AFL.com.au mid season draft prospect article. Error? Or maybe he's grown a few cms this year.

    Preview Round 6: Collingwood vs Essendon, MCG, ANZAC DAY, Sunday 25/04/2021 @ 3.20pm

    Heppell's performance against Brisbane was uninspiring at best I thought. Saw a lack of real effort (no desperation) and therefore our Captain had zero impact on the game. Shouldn't be captaining the side on Anzac Day, give that honor to Zerrett whose work ethic exemplifies the meaning of ANZAC...

    Coaching Staff Former Coach Ben "Truck" Rutten - Sacked for real this time - 21/8

    Dear Truck, Love your work ethic, attitude & intent. However, when being interviewed can you please, please oh please begin your reply with any choice of words other than 'Yeah look' :eek: Same goes for Hepp ! Thanks in advance.

    Prediction Name your three players to watch this season - break out candidates

    Hmmm, the dark side clouds everything right now, very hard to see the future it is. Split prediction into two groups I must. 1st or 2nd year players for the club 1. Caldwell - shows grunt where others his size have failed. True mid bull he is, the ox may not be huge but he is strong! 2. Cox -...
