The parallels between them now and West Coast 2007 are remarkable. Granted they do lose these players and fall to the bottom four.Melbourne looking into an abyss, if petracca left the free fall would be something special to watch!

Luke Ryan mate.
To be fair to the Gov though, he's slimmed right down over the last couple of years.

Correct. He was a late bloomer because of his conditioning but has consistently improved in that area. Luke Ryan has gone the other way.
Seems like Essendon are finally getting their shit together in respect of a couple of stalwarts responsible for their perpetual malaise.
We often forget that even though Gov was rookie drafted in 2011 that he didn't even play his first game until 2014, ehen he was 22. I flicked through his Back Chat interview with Schofield a few days ago and he didn't take his fitness or pre-seasons seriously until Simmo banished him.

Chris Scott of swinging a weekly late change fame. Porkins will come in and rip us a new one now.
I think the longer the season goes the more that question will hang over them.David Zita

There’s no room for sentimentality in football, of course but if ever a guy deserved a farewell game for services to the club he’s one. His back end to the career is as good as it gets for a key forward, really.
But, the end comes quickly, and he’s been out of form even before the injury and it’s not coincidental their rise in form happened after he was injured and they got a better structure in place.
Apparently one of the nicer guys in footy despite his fame and footballing name from everything I’ve read (including our very own Xavier Ellis) if anyone at Geelong to kick a bag on us I’d prefer him over Rohan or Cameron.

Cameron is a massive jerk.
Dildoro finally out at Essendon. End of an era. Hopefully Rosa has learned how to fail directly from the source and the Bombres continue to be balls for many more years.

I might be misremembering the interview but didn't he say he was in Bali chugging piss and eating everything up to a week before that infamous run when Woosha beat him?
He has Vozzo with him so i doubt it.
Something to that effect, yes. Had a very good offseason in Phuket and didn’t put in the work he should have.
Simmo probably taking a leaf out of the old managers playbook - “fire someone on your first day so they’ll respect you” , but it was obviously the wake up call he needed. What a player he has been.
And RoB.
Looks like another big Vic needs WCE to bail them out. 2nd time for Essendon too.
Should've kept Woosh

Didn't Woosh beat "Doesn't bode well" Murray Newman?

Murray Newman and Brad Dick are the heroes we need in 2025
CEY worth a late pick?
Jarrad Oakley Nicholls as the cream on top?
