Hey guys, Haven't been to Princess Park since '92. Can i ask the most convenient place to park reasonably close to the ground (15-20min walk) is fine. Paid Car Park also fine, just dont want any hassles/stress driving in. Apologies, couldn't find the relevant VFL thread. Cheers...

Laverde is a competitor, though i feel he is down on confidence. He struggles on taller opponents with reach, thus has had some bags kicked on him in the past 12 months. McGrath is beginning to use his running to provide drive out of the backline (keeping Hind out of the side). I'm not sure if...

Those match ups look pretty spot on. Phillipou is a strong kid and will need a Kelly type body on body match up. Owens must prepare to work up the ground and be on alert, as Redman loves a goal and his team mates use him anywhere near 55 out.

We don't have all that many options for tall defenders ATM with Zerk going down. Reid is getting over injuries and barely played any senior footy. Stewart is injured again, and we are trialling Baldwin as a defender in the VFL. The selectors would have deemed he needs more time at the lower...

Really, really poor from the Essendon supporter above. Should have posted this pic....

Your initial commentary is all one way, used to drive a narrative. Case in point, you describe the Bulldogs as on the way down when we played them. In reality, they came in with good form and on top of the ladder. They also had Bruce playing the whole game. WC were also playing much better at...

We could quite as easily split our 4 losses to Swans & Giants, 1 of which was our home game switched to a neutral venue. The 11 point loss to the Demons could easily have been a win. We've only been opened up by Port & Bris on their grounds, and the Cats put a gap on us late at GMHBA. As has...

Relax, just having some fun. As if real Essendon supporters post on Bigfooty !

Sorry, but that is utter tripe. Hawks were playing for an opportunity to make Finals, still requiring a significant upset (Crows def. WB). You guys are/were right in the Premiership mix in the Top 4. Miss Top 4, which is now likely, and you need to travel to Melb/Bris in Weeks 2,3 & 4, and that...

Yep, spot on. No hate filled bile being directed at Ess players. No drugs references. No referring to Ess as * Just respectful, considered, fair and realistic discussion. Well done Crows board 👍

We'll give a little more than that to maintain a good relationship with the Giants, who gave us a great deal last year with Devon Smith. I have a feeling we will offer Michael Hartley as 'steak knives' also, since the Giants appear short of KP defender depth.

Is an incredible player to watch. Was disappointed he didn't play against his old side the other night !

No problems with the Swans resilience. Amazing effort to make Finals, and almost Top 4. My original post that you had issues with, was that Hannebery's contract is a problem given his diminishing level of output, and this is likely to worsen. As good as you have been, there have been some poor...

Don't get narky, the points I raised were measured and fair. You cheekily pull a disingenuous figure of 1.2mil for Joe, when everyone knows he's playing for far less at Essendon than what he could get on the open market. And despite his accuracy issues, he still kicked 65 last year at an...

Obviously, I'm not privy to the exact amounts, only what I've heard which usually gives a good indication. Dan's current contract is problematic given his inability to get on the park consistently. Buddy has what, 4-5 years to run ? Tippett ? You lost Mitchell because you were looking to free...

I don't know exactly, but it would be a fair chunk of money. Why don't you tell me ? I'm sure you would have a fairly accurate range.

Honestly think St.Kilda would be crazy to bring him in. I notice him getting massaged on the calves over the boundary, or being in the hands of the trainers, more than I notice him on the field lately. Don't make him your problem. Make Sydney pay for their player payment mistakes !

That 4 on 4 looks quite evenly matched, but we will definitely have the following players providing meaningful midfield minutes also.... Myers, Langford, Zaharakis, Stringer (relief ruck), even Tippa will start at a few centre bounces. Fantasia will often push up to the Wings/HB at centre bounce...

Except last year against Carlton when he clearly had confidence to take the set shot to put us in front, despite kicking poorly earlier. Or, in Rd 1 this year when he put us in front against the Crows very late in the game. Or, last year against the Crows when he kicked 4 goals in the 2nd half...

Hooker went over the top with the treatment of his young opponent after kicking a few goals. He was definitely on the angry pills, but I'd prefer he dial that aggression back a fraction in future. He's an AA Backman being asked to play forward, and our forwardline functions partly because of the...

I personally would go Ambrose on Caz, as Ambrose has been our best stopper on the talls in the first 2 rounds. Hurley on Weitering, and Hartley to pick up the other tall, whether that be Curnow or McKay. Whilst I realise Silvagni is 191cm, he's only a kid at 19yo, so we'd match him up with 1 of...

He won't play in defence unless someone like Caz starts plucking everything. We have 3 tall defenders in Hurley, Hartley and Ambrose, and Hooker forward gives us structure that we've lacked for a while.

Really pleased for Roughy. Seems like a top bloke, and it might be a nice gesture if one side of our banner is dedicated to him. Now to the game... Round 1 games are always difficult to predict, but this game is harder than most. No Mitchell, Lewis, Hodge and Hill is a massive slice out of the...

Good luck guys. Never seen the Doggies in a GF, and that's from following VFL/AFL since 1979. Really hope you win the whole thing, despite me having money on Sydney for the Flag. Your team is great to watch, and the Bont could be anything in the coming years.

Toby f**ken Greene.........WTF You mentioned Egan which proves my point. There is always the risk of Drafting someone who will become perennially injured. Whether they be at No.2 (Scott Gumbleton), or No.10 (Chris Egan). The Draft is still a gamble.

You can't say "a few" and then say he isn't worth Pick 10. FWIW, I agree that he is a sook. The injecting regimen was hardly Jake's fault.

I agree with some of your points. He is a very immature 24yo in the AFL system. Now, he's possibly the 2nd highest paid player at his new club (maybe highest). He needs to pull his head in pronto. Have to strenuously disagree with you that he isn't worth a Top 10 Pick though. Have a look at...

I think it's probably a joke. The thing with Jake is, and Jobe has mentioned this before when asked in the media, he's a bit of a different cat. Even though he should know better at 24yo, he strikes me as being quite immature, as evidenced by his on field comments to opposition players this...

I can't be arsed reading thru the 10 pages, so this has probably been mentioned, but..... Picks 23 + 44 + 57 minus Sydney's 14 = a gain of 198pts Sydney lose Bird, but if it assists them with Cap space, a list spot, and more points for their Academy players, then I could see the benefits. The...
