Hey Essendon can we have our 1st pick back for a player take your pick.

Who else can come into our side from the AFL listed Casey players? Sestan, Adams, Mentha ??? Just bring them in if they are performing at a decent level in the VFL. Need to find out if they can take the next step.

Tonight's address to the players is the 2nd most important in Simon's coaching career after the 2021 GF. I would like to think that our coach has come up with a theme and a sturdy game plan to turn this all around against a formidable foe. Ideas for a possible theme could come from such movie gems Major League or Teenwolf. Both teams were 💩 and managed to turn their seasons around by some hard truths, deep conversations, skilled execution of gameplan, teamwork. This sound advice from their particular coaches and playing group had a profound impact on their journey and rallied the troops to go deep in their respective competitions. So who is going to be a Scott Howard(Teenwolf), Chubby(Teenwolf) or our Ricky Vaughn, Jake Taylor, Pedro Cerrano, Willie Mays Hayes ( Major League) tonight? Carn Dees give em hell. 🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮

Third time lucky?

Pretending not to be confident.

You might be right @picket fence but I just can't see Brad Green being the one to cull SG, only if it gets outta control and he gets the directive from Steven Smith. What usually happens in this scenario is the new President normally brings in his own man, so I reckon Goody might see the year out. If Goody goes, I reckon there might be a massive exodus of players who will use it as an excuse to bail eg. Kozzie, Tracc, Oliver etc. Hope this doesn't happen but it will definitely be at play.

Im ok with that as long as we can see improvement doesn't have to necessarily mean wins. But if these 10 goal floggings continue the club will have no choice unfortunately, the pressure will be unbearable. Only issue is a payout.

I saw 2 Hertz removal trucks this morning spells bad news for us tomorrow night. 🙈🤦

I'm not thinking about a flag, i think everyone around these traps just wants to see improvement within the team. If we make mistakes let's make them trying to move the footy on quicker by hand or foot. I want to see some real intent in our ball movement by going quick from play on opportunities and overlap from our supporting players. Us as supporters don't want to see things slowed down and let the opposition get behind the ball and make it even more difficult to move it by foot. And pretty please try a new midfield mix without Viney, Clarry and Tracc together it ffs. It doesn't work anymore teams are onto this by adding agile more evasive mids in at centre clearances especially. Can we start with a the game with Kozzie, Trent and Clarry give Tracc and run through the guts after 10 mins try JV7 in a fwd pocket in a role he's played before. Then, Chin, Kozzie and JV7 mix it up let's get a different look in there and not contain all the plodders in at once. 2 youngsters and 1 vet in at a time at center bounce. Get creative Simon and co try and find a balance because things are going to change unless we tweak a few things.

The time has come for JV7 to be played in the forward line can apply pressure and has an eye for goal with bursts in the middle. Can no longer be in the coalface for 80 percent of the time, he is too slow and getting pushed off the ball way to easily. Only one of Tracc, Clarry and Viney can be in the guts at one time Pickett must become a 70-80 percent Midfielder .

Your a Ledge Kev. 👏 Tough times around these parts and still taking the time to go and observe the greatness happening at our sessions.

Are we actually going to stand for anything this year or are we going to just go through the motions and get bent over a barrel every week without no lube? If these so called players that want out, still want out at years end here is a plan. Play your heart out for the remainder of the year, set the youngsters up and play yourself to another club. Stop friggen mopping around and feeling sorry for yourselves and actually get behind the club and string some performances together. Friday night football the streets are watching!

Irresponsible of the club giving Viney 4 yrs, used the instability of the club last year to great effect. I would have thought 2 yrs was more than enough.

Well said Bombay, Walk away while your in front Simon.

The shield final is still happening season still not over. 😂

2026 i think.

Realistically it should have started at the end of the 2024 season. Maybe Gary Pert was right.

He's not the only one @picket fence

If we get good picks offered to us, we have to take them now. Not naming names but we can't miss the boat.

Great way to start a rebuild when Essendon hold our 1st round pick. Take what we can get in terms of trades etc. We need skill and speed injected into this line up.

Yep! i just needed to see a loss like this on a G to confirm it.

We have a lot of list management decisions to make this year, cash in where we can. This is pitiful.

He's either playing with an injury, his confidence is shot to bits or he is just not up to it at this level.

We can't win a clearance, can't nullify a clearance, can't move the ball, can't hit targets by hand or foot. Goal kicking? Turnover punishment attacking wise we are hopeless. What the f happened over Summer to rectify these issues? We don't look fit at all either.

Play until he's 42, that would be nice.
