Yeah swap Roberts for Martin. I do like Roberts up the ground tho.
That is my argument with people who want to just line up the low hanging fruit but do not realise the top end is an issue as well. How many stood with me two years ago whenSpeaks volumes of where the list is at when there's no all australians selected and one guy who made the squad who might be a bit unlucky.
Yeah it is depressing every year when we struggle to even get players in the AA squad.Speaks volumes of where the list is at when there's no all australians selected and one guy who made the squad who might be a bit unlucky.

I said trade Parish for a top 10 pick?
Decent players who had a good year rather than guys consistently shooting the lights out. When that’s your upper echelon it’s a sign the list is not greatYeah it is depressing every year when we struggle to even get players in the AA squad.
There are players in our team that i was hoping to be AA by now. Redman (2023 AA Squad), Langford (2023 AA Squad) and Ridley (2020 AA Squad). It doesn't take much to turn it around. If you look at some of the names this season and there are plenty that you wouldn't have imagined getting in the AA team.
In the end the reason our guys don't get in this team is because of their inconsistency's.
All you need is your core players to lift at the same time and who knows what the future holds.
I guess you can look at it many ways. We have had plenty of guys make the All Australian team after leaving Essendon.Decent players who had a good year rather than guys consistently shooting the lights out. When that’s your upper echelon it’s a sign the list is not great
Anyone else find it weird how our players are somehow smaller than other teams. Like Archie Roberts, Jye Caldwell, Matt Guelfi and Ben Hobbs are all roughly the same height as players like Zach Guthrie and Lawson Humphries. Yet I'd rarely expect our guys to be as aerially competitive as the Geelong guys are consistently.
What is that? Limb length? Running capability so they're are closing the distance more and jumping from closer in? Pressure on the ball carrier so they can read the drop zone better?
