Preview Round 3, 2024: Essendon v St.Kilda - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 30th March, 4:20PM AEDT *HASTIE DEBUT*

[L_W_P]

I reckon Nas will get some very real attention this week. Keen to see how he handles it.

Anyone else remember this https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/dr...n/news-story/6bf3c95e115d8185d84f6b918ac5f755

I hope they send Gresh to him for a 'defensive' job. Do Essendon actually have any defenders?

King out sucks. Who comes in? Hayes ready? Keeler for a taste? Time to unleash the Moose?

When do we learn if we’re challenging King’s ban?

Gresh and defensive job in the same sentence... that's a new one

You can't hit them if you can't catch them.

 

[gringo2011]

Well, that didn't age well, did it??

It looked insane at the time. He looked like a want-away, slow-burn, low possession not quite sure of what position he'd play type of St Kilda stuff-up. Turned out to be a spectacular pick up.

Toce was a pretty good operator. He would have been the one to have identified him from his SA days. Also Wilkie on his watch as well. For a club that struggled to get any pick right in 15 years to find two absolute top flight talents in a couple years from a pretty ordinary draft position was outstanding.

It did not look insane at the time. High posession count is not high on the mind of recruiters depnding on the type of player/position they play.

I said this at the time and had watched some of his under 18 games and importantly at each level his decision making, speed and kicking held up at each level. Even in the AFL acadamy game remeber being taken aback at how cool and calm he was under pressure.

The other thing that made his disposals count misrepresent his actual ablity was the role he was being asked to play at SANFL level.

Lastly, Toice was also around when we picked up hayes and Sharman

Age reporting Toce is a front runner for the national recruiting gig at Richmond.

Confident we get off here

 

[BucketsandBanger]

According to Kane this morning, 0 chance to get it downgraded and he was lucky to only get 1 week.

If the pies post weekend injury report is clean and McCrae is 100% fit.

How can you say it’s anything but low contact?

Medium contact would have resulted in a concussion, no?

He’s been wrong on everything Saints for 2 years, good sign

What’s he saying about Wright?

 

[BrutThough]

According to Kane this morning, 0 chance to get it downgraded and he was lucky to only get 1 week.

Then in the next sentence, he stated 3 would be fair for Wright.

Hope he gets off, but I'd be extremely surprised. It seems like a pretty clear cut one.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. The guy was the involved in our recruiting (including being promoted to head recruiter) during our most successful drafting period in 20 years, including nailing early and late draft picks, as well as rookie, midseason and mature age selection. I remain very uneasy about his departure.

I agree he was a gun ,but so is the guy we got from the swans . Responsible for some great gets up there . Close to the best going around some say .

No idea, he didn’t elaborate, surprise surprise. I assume in his mind it is the potential to cause injury means it’s automatically medium.

 

[Off Stump 89]

Still flat after losing Henry for so long, he has exceeded my expectations. He's so dynamic and strong. I guess Ross knew his game and wouldn't have brought him across if he wasnt a player.

Next man up!

This game will be interesting given Essendons new found hardness off the ball

you're asking for common sense though?

The big question is - will the bombres play football, or be too busy edging?

Arie to make his debut. Make it happen Saints.... imagine him and NAS linking up along the wing.

I'm getting more and more excited every week.
