The reason why its meaning is blurring towards laid-back is that people who don't say much are often really laid back. Surfie stoners are laconic.
Also lazy, stupid football journalists and commentators who say stuff like - "he's run out of tarmac", "will this kick make the journey/ trip"?

FMD 😡😡👎👎👹👹

In at the Melbourne Marathon this morning at the G. Will keep an eye out for Dan and any cameras at Pie HQ.

I was there too, watching my daughter finish the marathon. Huge crowd but lots of fun for us spectators- not so much for her. She’s in the bath now, with some sort of muscle relaxing oil ha ha!
 
I wouldn’t be blaming injuries for his performances. He was beyond disappointing prior to any injury.

To me, it looks like he just doesn’t want to be there. He isn’t enjoying his footy, but seems to hang around because the money is just too good.

If he was to tell the club he wants to quit, I doubt the club will attempt to talk him out of it.
They rated him year 1. Gave him an additional 2 years and a debut.

I wouldn't be discounting the big concussion he had in his debut. Mustn't be easy to just shrug off concussion when surrounded by the Murphy concussion saga
 
Don't worry, he did. The scout coincidentally provides exactly the same information that Cal Twomey's twitter feed does. He's extremely light on for 'inside information' for a man on the inside.
Was it in the last couple of years?
Thered be others who have followed his stuff on EBW more qualified than me to address the rest of the stuff.
 
Maybe pick 9 for IQ
I liked the trading up rumour, but that's thinking it would be Allan and not IQ. Gotta keep IQ. Really rare to be able to play on dangerous smalls and be so good in the air. Too important for how we defend.
 
Norths F1 could also easily be pick 8-10 in a supposedly much weaker draft. I wouldn’t be doing that deal if I was Essendon. I think Melbournes offer for pick 13 to GC is a better deal tbh.
They could always trade it back into this draft on draft night after Ess match their bid on Kako. Pretty sure most teams will value Norths F1 higher than Melbs

Why would a kid that just turned 20 quit footy? Going by his training regime this off season I’d say it’s anything but that case.
Who said he isn’t enjoying his footy? Just had an awful injury riddled year. The kid has time.

Honestly I wouldn’t be doing that deal I was Essendon. Gut feel is that Norf are in a similar position to what the Hawks were 12 months ago. Bits and pieces of their game are coming together and it hasn’t clicked yet, but could easily in 2025 and shoot them up the ladder. Maybe not to the same extent as the Hawks this year, but you’d be dirty as an Essendon supporter if your club gave away pick 9 in a really strong draft for a pick that could be around the same mark in 2025 when Melbourne are offering a future first that could end up being similar plus a second rounder for pick 13.

Hell if I was the Essendon list manager I’d be getting on the phone to Melbourne tbh.
I'm just irritated as I didn't realise their NGa kid was so good. ****ers. I'd be trying to trade up to GC 6 to get ahead of the bid and piss Richmond off.

Allan for pick 9 would be very tempting

Just finishing the trip home. Train all winter in 10 degrees and rain, only to have to run the marathon in 25 degrees, full sun and a strong north wind. No acclimating to that! Absolutely brutal.

EDIT: Congrats to your daughter though, I should have added.

They’d be taking a gamble and Melbournes offer for 13 has a second rounder attached to it too.
If I was a gambling man I’d be putting money on Melbourne to either stay around the mark they are or fall further given the absolute shit show their club is right now, and Norf to start rising up the ladder. Any club who’s list manager has any common sense would take Melbournes F1 and pick 28 over Norfs F1 alone imo.

Onya mate, I'm past that.

Well done all the runners.

The first marathoners were Attic (and Plataean) not Laconic, and the first Marathon runner died at the finish line, so anyone who comes through alive has done a deed.

Edit just saw the dogs breakfast I posted first time around lol.
