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 ?

Can we draft freos kicking coach?

I know Jackson was competing against a first gamer but he looked good 😭😭😭

Patrick Voss

key forward Bombers VFL to Freo SSP pre 2024 season after missing out on the draft for 3 years

Archer May

Key forward Sandringham Dragons 2023 premiership forward alongside Calser Dear, ignored in 2023 & 2024 drafts

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 ?

Did we get Jefferson and Tholstrupp with the picks received for Luke Jackson?

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.

Yep, I think you're correct.

from draft guru:

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.

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

Appreciate his mark in the 2018 gf that set up the sheed goal.

It was him wasn't it, I always got him & hurn confused

Friday night footy!!
