If the club are serious there'll be some 'She'll be right knackers' 250th t-shirts on offer.

But we all know this club is useless and it'll be another missed opportunity.

I dunno, after the do they put on for his 200th I can't even imagine what's in store for this weekend.

Maybe they should play on his Leongatha background and give it a farm theme?

Whole team should wear fake dreadlocks for the whole warm up

Great if he could play in a win next week.
He deserves it.
I do think he is just going.

I wasn't the happiest he was playing on again but he is running around like he is 20 and has copped some huge hits for this club. That is a great moment.

Snuck a Vespa onto the field to nip up to the attacking goalsquare at the end there

Surely it's Dyson's Lucky Jocks.

First goal since Rnd 1 last year.

Even though Moses wrote the Torah, led his people out of slavey, parted the Red Sea, extracted water from stone etc, he still says playing 250 games for Essendon is his personal highlight.

Well knackers, we just trust the process. We can’t control whether the water parts. Just play your role each week.

great news - we can probably reuse a lot of our posts from this time last year!

Think he should retire but if he wants to go around then that is fine the way he is playing.

Reckon he falls off a cliff next year though and we will need to be ready to tell him to play VFL.

I think the flag in a few months will be enough for Dys & he'll call it a day.

In we go - and we all drown!

Thank god. I get so tired of the pressure to constantly be so damn fresh.

 

[BrunoV]

I look forward to the next 50 games we supposedly owe him.

Agree with most of this but I think because the cliff likely to come next year would prefer he retire than move on Baldwin if it comes to that due to limited spaces.
