Non Lions Discussion 2024

[Nathan Barley]

I mean, they did replace Brodie Grundy with Tom Fullerton

Is Tom still yet to record a hitout in the VFL?

Averages about 10-11 per game at the moment I think

What is kind of ironic for Tom (in hindsight of course) is that had he stayed, he actually would've played at least 5 or 6 games for the Lions I think, whereas MFC and Goodwin just haven't rated him despite all of there issues. Weird.

I don't recall that we were looking to keep him at all to be honest, though I might just be projecting my opinion there.

He was out of contract this year after signing a 1 year extension for 2023 in 2022. Probably would've been delisted anyway.

I’ll admit I wasn’t an advocate for retaining Tom either, but for some reason I thought we’d have kept him on for another year but I say that with no conviction and he elected to try his luck elsewhere.

BT, your area of expertise is draft picks. Mine is crazy trades. Please cease and desist.

 

[T Rick]

Can't understand why we didn't try to develop Tom Fullarton as a Key Back...it might not have worked but it seemed like it was worth trying.

 

[Section 5]

Who do we want to win Swans or Bombers
Maybe the Swans giving them a thrashing is my thoughts.
That way they should be out of finals calculations when we meet them next week.

Bombers for mine. Just to give us hope of another (back door) avenue to a top 4 spot.

Flight got delayed multiple times but hoping to get to the ground before the Swans are 10 goals up

It would be peak Essendon for them to be in with a chance of making the eight in the final round and getting slaughtered

 

[Section 5]

20-10 inside 50's to bombers.
But no real purpose just bombing it in.
Still the Swans need to get their hand on the ball to start with.

 

[Ceebee]

What a terrible game .

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

We're Sydney really that good last week or were Collingwood just horrible?

Sydney are always terrible in 1/4s this year. They improve throughout the game

 

[Nathan Barley]

Getting a bit late in the season for Sydney to turn this form around

 

[Mr Ripper]

Plenty of competition these days, but this might be the worst game of football ever played.

 

[Viceregal]

29-22 at half time - is it pouring down rain, incredible defensive intenstity from both teams, both sides channelling the Lions kicking spirits or just a bunch of blokes seemingly playing kick to kick ... ?

 

[Grasshopper17]

I thought the game last Friday was of a pretty ordinary standard. And the little I've seen tonight (about half of the 2nd quarter) is of a similar, if not lower standard.

Mind you watching from the bottom tier is absolute balls. Unrecommend.

 

[Elixuh]

Cmon swans ffs

 

[Grasshopper17]

Funny looking "edge".

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

We really shouldn't be dropping a game to these losers next week.

 

[luthor]

Essendon now doing Essington things
