[HirdsTheWord]

lol you wouldn't ****in read about it.

shows a spark of promise. Boom injured

Did he have lunch with Reid or something?

 

[Nifft]

No need will be back after the bye

Which year though?

 

[yodellinhank]

He must have stepped on the ancient burial ground during his introduction.

Surely they didn't have him out on the second oval?

 

[Vindicater]

Ahhh...

Welcome to Essendon.

 

[DapperDon]

Surely they didn't have him out on the second oval?

It's a rite of passage side stepping the landmines while doing drills

 

[ant555]

technically the truth

well that is the last time I try and stay positive. Like the song goes "should have known better "

 

[fairbump_playon]

At least him and Hunter can sympathize

Great VFL game then bang

 

[Beerfish]

yep - he’ll slot nicely into the rehab group

Nail. Head.

 

[jmoo wan]

Nail. Head.

1. Walla.
2. Saad.
3. tune in to the pod next week....

 

[TheUnicorn]

Insane

 

[Nicholas61]

Can't really trust the times the club gives just hope it isn't on the more severe end that stuffs things up long term. He was on fire, who knows how many he would have kicked had he stayed on - in any case after that highly doubt he will be delisted after 6 months.

Reid and Hunter. Ordered Eggs Benedict, got Florentine.

 

[naraku]

you could not make this shit up.

Speedy recovery to Saad.

Apparently without a contract for next year. All I can say is chop ****ing chop on that one, get it done quick sticks.

I'm sure re-signing Heppell is the higher priority.

I suspect Jones and Caldwell are a higher priority. He's more likely to be in the Hind, Guelfi, Setterfield block of contractsl

From the reports I think Jones may have triggered his extra year . If the reports are correct.

 

[eth-dog]

From the reports I think Jones may have triggered his extra year . If the reports are correct.

Triggers need to be agreed by both parties. He triggered it two months ago, I suspect they're in negotiations for a longer deal.

 

[yaco55]

Injury report says two weeks. If so straight in the team for the last two matches and to play a high half forward role.

If the injury report says two weeks then it'll probably be four.

Does anyone know how well El-Hawli defends the field up the ground?
Does he run both ways? Stick his tackles?

might have to wait a while for an answer

Runs the ground well enough from the limited time I saw. Tackles ? had zero in his last game .

 

[cavalcade]

In just his second game El Hawli established himself in the best 22. I don't even reckon it's close. He impacts in a way most Essendon listed players can't.
