Alright Essington, let’s see if we can do this...
He’s not a wingman
He’s not going to be a ****ing wingman
Him and we are not changing the entire game of football overnight.
Get that out of your heads now you hunch of non-developing, clueless ****s
Can we PLEEEEEEEASE not spend three years on some stupid ****ing experiment and turn him into a new Kepler Bradley
So he’s mobile and can run. Nice. Sounds like a good attribute for a KPP.
Work out - QUICKLY - whether he’s a forward, ruck or defender, put him there and leave. him. the. ****. there.
No Ryder please. No 6 years playing him in ****ing defence and deep forward when it’s clear as ****ing daylight he’s a ruckman.
We’ve ruined hundreds of youngsters, let’s not try it again.
Forward pocket. Don’t need to chase playing there for Essendon eitherWhat's the most bruise free position on the ground?
Looks like that's what he is.
It was right in front of where I was sitting on level 2 and he clearly had no idea where he was for a bit. Redman tried to lift him up and he just flopped back down and he had the jelly legs going. Did not look like much at all but he was clearly concussed.I keep looking at the video and still can’t see any contact! Maybe Andrews arse caught him on the side of the head, but I think he just quit. If he did piss him off.

Yea, I think you’re right. Maybe I was a bit harsh, but I doubt very much that he is going to make it. Wouldn’t matter where we play him he uses a lot of short steps and is allergic to contact.Laverde round house punched him straight in the forehead.
Jackson did nothing on him last week and Andrew only popped off after he went off the ground. Perhaps going back has stripped away some of the complexity and just allowed him to play.

The footage would appear to show that the only thing that made contact with his head was his own right hand.![]()
He is scared of contact and footy is a contact sport, He's a bust.I think in this era of kids coming in and dominating straight away such as Daicos, Ashcroft, Reid, Sheezel etc we forget that talls always take time. Especially talls drafted during COVID and talks that get terrible development like Essendon does with talls.
Cox is either a defender or a ruck. Blicavs is the blueprint, just stick to one plan and make it happen Essendon.
I think also with all the media attention on the draftees who can come in and dominate from day one everyone forgets that clubs usually have a bunch on the slow burn in the vfl.I think in this era of kids coming in and dominating straight away such as Daicos, Ashcroft, Reid, Sheezel etc we forget that talls always take time.
