NON-MFC: Round 15

How is it that Essendon pick up a kid in the mid season draft Archer May, who arguably has already shown more than of our Key forwards this season in 2 games ! Can we not identify key forward talent. Can we not develop key forwards.

Or do our kicking skills inside 50, decision making and possibly the game plan mean our key forwards are hamstrung and can’t impact like other clubs seem to ?

    Why is it that we are not identifying these types at the drafts ! low cost key forwards but are already having an impact as goal scoring threats

    even Treacy was pick in the 40s or 50s for Freo , may have even been a rookie pick ?

    Dlaczego wszyscy tutaj muszą umieć mówić po francusku? A co z polskim, na przykład? Dlaczego nie wszyscy muszą umieć mówić po polsku?

    或者為什麼不是中文？

    Eða kannski íslenskt?

    Kaj pa slovenščina?

    وجهة نظري هي، لماذا الفرنسية فقط؟

    We drafted Jeffo before Dogga left. Maybe you meant Leb?

    Jeffo was drafted at the end of 2022.

    What I’m not sure of is whether we used Freo’s future first rounder on Kolt or Leb?

    I was wondering why folks on here are expected to know how to speak French. Why French? Why not Polish, or Chinese, or Arabic, etc.

    I also may or may not have had a drink last night and when I drink…

    Wouldn’t it have been Leb? He was our first pick.

    corey wagner was of course on our list, playing 11 games in 2019, before being delisted at the end of 2020

    since joining flagmantle he's played remarkably consistent footy since midway thru last season as, arguably, their best 'small' defender

    Big game tonight but not sure given the venue and time of year it will tell us much.

    Wish they could start the game at say 7:15

    Would be better overall ratings IMO

    All the best to McGovern. Absolute gun and shocking way to go out 3 games shy of 200.

    Incredible how he was the gel that continually kept the rabble together defensively through 10 goal losses each week.

    Could have left for Collingwood (thank god) post 2020 but kept toiling. Respect.

    Bombers have some good young players.

    Maybe we should start a Woulda Coulda Shouda… Didn’t thread for lamentations such as this. A communal crying-room, if you will.

    I love the idea GW. I’m guilty of this 100% and am not ashamed to admit it.

    The problem with this is the existence of the thread would soon be forgotten and consequently it would fall into obsolescence, just like Werridee’s rolling best 22 teams thread that was created specifically for him. He used it for a short while but alas and alack, he’s forgotten it exists and now we’re back to seeing his best 22s in Every. Single. Thread.

    Gresham is Essendon's version of Billings.

    Expect they have Gresham on 700K per year

    most overrated player in the league. Can't even get a game for the bombers with 11 debutants

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
