Going into this season there was talk we were a team on the way up with an outside chance of making the finals. Our plan of going hard at the draft was supposed to end and the worst was behind us. In my opinion the best thing that has come out of this season so far is the clarity that we need...

Was at the game yesterday. Obviously disappointed not to get the win. There were obviously areas where we did well other that we struggled in however it is undeniable that goal kicking accuracy was the difference between the two teams. The conditions were perfect for goal kicking. Essendon won't...

I haven't seen many proposed trades so here is my one. Wondering if we could pull off our own Mega Trade and get 4 round one picks plus McCabe. Seems like a pipedream but looks possible if we are flexible on which players we want at the pointy end of the draft and McCabe won't go before 15...

Plus Scrimshaw via a trade so not all doom and gloom. The point does stand we overestimated our squad and burnt a lot of trade capital. To be fair most supporters were on board with our strategy at the time (myself included). The best part of the story is we have 2019/20/21 in the rear view...

We need to add as much talent as we can to the team for our next premiership tilt. Personally I don't care who we pick with our next two picks as long as they are quality footballers with a really good work ethic. Maybe they won't have the potential ceiling as the athlete types but you are...

One move I would love to see the Hawks make is to trade down with either Richmond or Freo for an extra 2nd rounder. The guy I really like is Erasmus. He is an elite sportsman, still only 17 and a tall goal kicking midfielder with awesome hands. Just looks like a genuine football talent.

This is the definition of fake news. It is setup so that regardless of the outcome we appear to lose. Fortunately anyone with a brain can see through this nonsense.

Hopefully the club is considering other options other than trading key olders players (i don't mind but the juice might not be worth the squeeze). I would look at simpler solutions like: Cegler and future 2nd to Cats for 34 and 41 Pick 5 and 41 to Tigers for 7 and 26 (assuming there are 5...

Trade week is the perfect example of why we have the term fake news. A narrative gets set and 'journalists' throw whatever crap they want in its direction. They don't care whether it is accurate or not as they will face zero accountability. When the narrative has run its race they a new one...

Can't believe we aren't in MacPherson's ear. Give him the choice of North vs Hawks. Gold Coast want him out and we could easily jump on the pick 19 deal. So no reason why we can't get pick 19 instead. That would give us 4 picks in the top 25 and all we give up is some salary and a later pick...

Regardless of how poorly this succession appears to be handled the silver lining is we have been crying out for a serious shakeup. A new coach like a new CEO will make the hard decisions early in their tenure. It will be easier for Mitchell to clear out the deadwood than Clarko.

Really disappointing I was hoping for the fairy tale finish. If Clarko is finishing up early then Jeff has to go. Poorly handled and to be honest he has past his use by date. We do need an honest explanation of how things went from a few teething problems to finishing up at the end of the...

__________ Everything we read and hear from the media is pure speculation. We don’t know whether Clarko will coach somewhere else in 2022 or follow through on the succession plan. Only time will tell. Since we don’t know any different it makes sense only focus on what we have been told until...

DGB might be a bit on the lean side at the moment but so was Dustin Fletcher when he first started out. Fingers crossed. https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/nsw/skinny-kid-dustin-fletcher-who-arrived-at-essendon-in-1993-still-skinny-and-going-strong-ng-2d3dc1fb4b9517da38db9bf8f64f374c
