Lovely Petracca. Spud it up so every kent jumps off him, becomes a nice POD and wins the Brownlow this year.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

He does but he doesn’t help with the defensive balance in our midfield which is where we got destroyed in the GF. Bailey Smith the same issue.

That's where Libba and Dunkley come into play, to add balance

 

[gutsroy]

So...
Ridley no mortgage in kick-ins, Essendon share it moving out of defence. Think I'll stick with Short.
Treloar looked good.
English remains interesting TBH.
Dunkley probably selects himself as long as the shoulder looks OK, and it seemed to.
That about right??

Fancy Port saying a flat NO to Wanganeen .....WTF didn't they leave the door open & have him train over the PS, like ESS

That said ....I think he's completely surprised ESS too

Yep. From all reports it was more or less just throwing a bone to him as part of our academy. I’m not even sure he was officially there as a train on at first, just as a member of the academy.

Has came on in leaps and bounds this preseason.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Did they only have the one open list spot which went to Skinner?

I'm not sure ....they still could have father / son rookied Wanganeen

Has came on in leaps and bounds this preseason.

Yep, my understanding too ......he was very skinny, so he's put on a lot of weight over the PS

I’d add Caldwell disappointing.

Absolutely love the knee jerk reactions on Treloar


First praccy game with no Smith and Bont limited. ****ing love it.

 

[Lord De Goey]

Parish

 

[Petrify]

There's no way we don't pick up Martin & Wanganeen

Well that was fast.
Both should be a chance at senior footy.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Parish

He won’t get to run around unopposed in the real stuff.

He looked nowhere near it and then hasn't played for two years (bar a single school game this year). His mum moved to Melbourne and Essendon threw a scholarship at him.

I don't think our club is losing too much sleep over it.

Parish is a massive peaheart

Willing to take that risk. I mean i've had him the last two years i might as well do it again.

Tough start to the season for him as well.

 

[Lord De Goey]

190 last year against the cats. Probably my best unique captain ever. Be interesting to see if O'Connor tags him this year.

Had 15 possessions and only played a half. Not bad for 266k.

2 games now he’s only played a half?

He played a half in the intra club (14 touches, 1 goal) then another half today (15 touches). Guess they're just doing load management on him.
