Still cant believe all the work that goes into this website. Where do you find the time? Ive looked at some of the other sites, Bomberblitz for example. The are just so bad, boring and drab and you can hardly even read them. Well done @Demonland

I have no life and a forgiving boss.

Hooker is a chance to play (and kick 5.0)

Not if we throw Marty Hore on him. Perfect matchup!

We've got this.

( Not sure what 'this' is ?)

why is that @John Demonic?

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

How is Hooker right to play after being predicted to miss the first four games of the season? Must have some healing vitamins on hand down at Essendon. Oh, what?

[CHF 2,805]

So, here we are two weeks into the new season without a win and there are a number on this site that are calling it 'season over' already.

I am not one of them.

The list we have is the same one that played good footy last year so they know how to do it. we have had a shorter preseason than in recent years and we had a large number of players that went under the knife to fix niggles. All have added up to a slow start to the season. Week 1 we were as bad as we could be. Last week I saw and overall improvement in the general play with the highlighting of structural problems in our forward 50. 

This week I think we will see another step up in overall quality of play and we will win a tight one to be 2-1 after the first three rounds.

 

[beelzebub 23,388]

We could use Jeffy.

We can use him for two good reasons in my view

One ...on his day is incredibly talented and hits the scoreboard.

Two ..  He tends to play his own game. For mine that's a plus as currently 'our game' is putrid.

Go Jeffy.

Hore / Frost  Friday  night. ?  A bit unlikely. Too warm for that.

Do the smart thing, be here instead!

In all seriousness, that should be an unbelievable show @Gorgoroth.  I wanted to get tickets but a close mate's 30th got the nod.  Disappointed, but I'll listen to the album over the weekend instead.

Because the other 17 clubs have improved more than we have?

Nervous is a understatement.

Also will be seeing them in August at Brutal Assault, I’m pumped for it.

Didn't see changes v Essendon draft. I watched the Woods v Tigers, their two talls Mason and Grundy did well. On that base Preuss is a must. Petty could replace Frost or O.Mac however O.Mac could go forward. ANB ,Jones and possibly Petracca ( as awake up call ) could be dropped. Baker and Hore could get another go. Not sure if Viney is fit enough.

I have no wife, and a life full of loss  ?

[old dee 23,918]

The only thing to be decided on Friday night is the size of the loss. Reminds me of the Neeld days. No key forwards, poor delivery to those who are there. The key to our dreadful start in 2019. How on earth has this club failed to discuss / confront the Preliminary final  slaughter?  

After Friday night we will be in another rebuild phase. My God it is boringly familiar.
