Who would you take if offered the choice between Will Ashcroft or Jason Horne Francis?

JHF

Watching that game makes you realise how far is Essendon is off being a serious finals contender. We would not have got within 15 goals of either side tonight.

We would have a different looking team if we had McClug kept the

Im pretty chuffed for Kai Lohmann. He will be the pride of Maryborough this week my home town. His dad was pretty happy with his mark.

Oh well then thank goodness

All fire and dragon energy. Everything is a million miles per hr and combined with talent.

There is no sport as chaotic as footy n the states. All their sports are much more controllable.

Timeouts and stoppages of play which lead to minutes of coaching instruction is not a good comparison to our game. I really dislike the final minutes of basketball and American football with how long it takes to actually complete a small amount of game time.

Yep. Geelong wouldn't really stand a chance without Danger and without Holmes at his best.

It's another year where I'm going to find the premier seriously underwhelming.

I'm still eying off a Geelong in 2026 (possibly even next season but I think it might take a few key pieces 6 months longer than next season to hit their straps). In some ways they were a 50 game Neale away from getting the result tonight. He just needed to pull down a few of those marks which he spilled. Only problem with 2026 is Danger can, surely, not still be at this level.

Did anyone else notice that he torched Neale every time their paths crossed? He's probably the most amazing athletic specimen to have ever played the game.

Without Dangerfield and the dodgy umpiring I think we beat them that night at the G. To keep his speed and power at that age and all the abuse he has put his body through is unique indeed.

His last month has been terrific. Has been everywhere and has good strength for his size too.

Yeah if it was cities not teams we would be Toowoomba while the GF is played btw New York and London

Also with no time outs everyone is absolutely running on fumes when the game is on the line.

You see some bad decisions because players are utterly rooted

Could you imagine time outs in Aussie Rules? That thought gives me the ick.

So happy with that result. As an aside, I was sitting next to McQualter, Choco Williams and Alan Richardson at the match

That’s the back of McQualter's head. Richardson in the beanie, and you can see Chocco. All three work for the Demons.
