After Sydneys performance I hope Fremantle can challenge Brisbane from here.

The sad reality of last night is that our premiership window is almost shut. You could argue this run started from 2018 but its hard to see Max, May, Viney and Co maintaining this level of performance beyond 2025. Next year is our last chance and some big decisions need to be made to achieve this.

Too late though

Such a waste, the only silver lining is that it gives a club a chance to start planning for 2025 now. If Goodwin decides to do this is another question.

Sadly only the kids drafted have been a net positive.

This runner from Germany sums up tonight's performance:

Making some progress now.

Yep stick a fork in this team as 2024 looks done. Start playing Jeffo, Fullarton, etc next week and see what they have to offer.

Lucky the Olympics are on TV

Jack Mcrae in there VFL side; never thought I would see that.

Hope Howes can play a big one and prove to himself he is good enough at this level.

Joe Rogan would be impressed with this thread.

I'm sensing a money maker here DStone

Eagles are placing a lot of value on half a season of good form in a 100-game career.

Im not smart enough DStone, sorry.

A real shame for the kid but the extra break might help him. Give Howes a go.

Sharemarket today is red today as well, I thought there was a reason.

Was always a fan of the Drake guernsey:

On a slightly different note the Dees have the equal 4th in debutants since 2023 which surprised me. Ignore the picture of Brad Scott as it relates the Essendon having the least.

The net result of this draft has been great considering we did not have a Top 10 pick. Moving forward I would we just trade players for Picks and allow JT to keep working his magic.

Im sensing a group hug is needed.

Although I concede making the finals from here is unlikely it's not impossible. As our remaining games are against teams in contention, winning also decreases their odds of making finals. Winning the remaining games (while continuing to play the younger players) should be the focus and build a blueprint for their future success. I have never seen Geelong, Pies or the Swans tank so why should we?

In addition to this question what type of players should we be targeting during trade period?

Keep your chin up Bobo, hope some luck comes your way.

I live 800kms from the MCG but I understand why some choose not to go. But under 20k was a shock to see.
