I figured his ego wouldn't have liked seeing the Tigers win the flag without him last year. very good defender but not in the greatest ever debate for me

Agreed ?

like talkin to a brick wall. im done

righto just ignore the evidence that doesn't back your argument then as soon as he got in the team in 2018 he played a great season. So you don't rate the brownlow medal? you think you can fluke a 3rd placing? even if he was 10th in the brownlow it is still bloody good. once he got up and running in round 4 of 2018 he hasnt been dropped he was underdone and played poor last year like most of the team. he needs to lift from 2019 but there is plenty of 'evidence' that points to a big bounce back from Gus

bit glass half empty there Nev. you missed the evidence of him playing a great 2018 and coming 3rd in the brownlow. you don't do that running one way. some of his pressure and tackling was amazing in 2018. he has shown great talent and good application over the years when he has done a preseason hardly hopeful speculation

I'm bullish and think we will win 10 more games than this year. 15 wins and 4th place. there are no teams to be afraid of aside the Tigers and they are not unbeatable. If fit we have the talent and now some finals experience to do very well Clarry not coming off double shoulder surgery??? 40 brownlow votes coming up!! ?

Aussies - Essendon Teams that cheat for no advantage

Good post. Jetta will surprise many by having a close to AA year. Core player for me

Viney as sole captain is my preference as it was this time last year. With a preseason for the first time in 3 years we will see him back to his best. We hung on with Jones a year too many imo. Love Max and he would be a good skipper also. but Max is the star and already does a lot of media and tension relief/funny stuff. would hate him to be stifled in any way by the captaincy. needing to be serious/say the right thing. just let him be Max

looks pretty similar to the ladder this year. equalisation my back side carn Dees, turn it around, we have the cattle

One elite player for us? So Clarry just above average? please.

North are 6 places above Brisbane I think that sums up how useful this list is.

Thanks BB! I would love to see Smith be injury free all year to see what he can do. Mister utility and is a great athlete. Was he still training with the backs? Id like to see him fwd. Also pumped to see JJ in action. great to hear he is a quality runner

I predicted last year we would miss finals but still make a GF in one of the next 3 years. 2020 is the year. Top 4 finish and we make the GF (I won't ruin the surprise by saying if we win or not) Clarry to win the brownlow May to be AA Viney to win the BnF of the 5 losses we have, some on DL still blame Goody after each one

He is a worm.

Did anyone else throw up in their mouth when they saw the headline: Delisted Bomber Joins Dees? I'm sure he is a nice guy but hopefully he doesn't play a game for the seniors. will mean we dont have too many injuries and/or our key fwds are playing okay

Jackson actually looks like a well built kid for 200cm and 18yo. he should fill out nicely and be a beast in a few years Man I'm pumped for the season to start!! thanks for the photos DL! what conditioner does Kossie use? magnificent silky smooth locks!

Guess: 6 for LJ 24 for Pickett 36 for Bennell

How would people rate our draft if we picked for example Young at 3 and Serong at 8? higher or lower that what happened?

JT has put his balls on the line. Fairly risky selections. But I like how the club backed him in and he could be seen as a genius in a few years Young and Serong would have been nice though!

Save him for finals I say!! For ANB harsh but fair

I assume he is trying to say - we couldn’t prepare for what the season was going to demand due to many factors out of our control

Shorten HT? Wtf for? Give the players some time to recharge FCS should be shortening the quarters. With all the stoppages these days footy has changed to 33 min quarters. Games go for 135 mins plus. Bring it back under 120 I reckon

Welcome LJ! Hope you can become our Ben Brown type fwd clunking marks. Stafford will sort out your kicking. He seems a serious, angry type of guy which I like

So GWS get to a GF and get another couple of guns to add to their list. Reckon they’ll win a couple of flags in the next few years
