    Every quarter of every game for as long along asĀ I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us.Ā 

    I'd bet my house that if a tally was done of last-minute-of-quarter goals against over the last few years, we would be miles ahead of the rest of the competition.

    I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying.Ā 

    Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

    Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

    Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

    I may be recalling incorrectly, but he seemed to perform better alongside Jackson.

    I find it a little distasteful that this is thrown back on supporters, as though it would somehow be antithetical to theĀ club's culture to suggest a loyal club servant's time might be up. At the end of 2019, Jones was given a 1 year contract, acknowledging his experience and proximity to a significant individualĀ milestone. It must be desperately disappointing for him that a COVID-reduced season and injuries have pushed his 300 milestone out of reach, but we can't perpetually hold a list spot open to facilitate personal milestones unless it's mutually beneficialĀ to the team and club.Ā

    In the 'Captain's Run' Gus said his foot is a lisfranc injury.Ā  Says he heard it pop in the Sydney game and it would have been better to not have come back on.

    Expects to be ready to run at the start of the preseason.

    This is a relief. I was worried that he'd miss a chunk of it given the duration.

    Iā€™m back to hoping the giants beat the Saints. Giants should bring some good players players inĀ 

    That'll be mighty stressful, we'd need the Giants to pull saints pctge down by several % so we can leapfrog them, while not themselves lifting their own pctge by the 6%Ā to overtake us. Imagine beating dons by a point, our % would fall fractionally - we really need a big win to maximise our chances. Perilous stuff!

    Come on Weid, time for your break-out 7-goal haul.

    Yes, even if we win next week and they lose, they could still end upĀ ahead of us on % with us both on 9 wins.

    Our %ge 106.2, theirs was 100.3 before this game, but is now up to 104.4 on live ladder. If they keep this up we'll need a solid margin next week to get over them.
