Dogga has started well

Essendon wasting good chances

That's it Sam. Great start.

we're harder around the ball

Goody being interviewed at the moment. His expectation for the Weid - compete unconditionally for the whole game. Amen to that

good question. why is that?

Zanker out. [censored]

Past time to ditch the covid restrictions. The country needs to move on It’s a big chance for the Weid. I’ll be happy if he clunks a few, contests hard, desperate second efforts. A goal or 2 would be a bonus I want to see him bust his gut and show that he has the desire to play in this team. Otherwise VFL anonymity beckons I reckon TMac will step up and kick 4 with contributions across the board from Fritsch Trac Kossie and a few others. We don’t need to over extend ourselves so I reckon a regulation 4-6 goal win. We have bigger fish to fry

Today is 1 April. Believe nothing anyone tells you today especially an Essendon supporter

Essendon are bog ordinary at the moment. We're still in second gear. I predict an unconvincing 25 point win with Trac dominating again

I'd like to see the Swans pinch this

Never a dump tackle. The AFL need to talk to the umps about the doggies bias. It's ridicoulous

John Longmire will give his players a serious bake at half time. They have been deplorable. Worst half of football I've seen from the Swans in a long time.

Reckon there's more Swans fans there than doggies fans

Swans disposal is terrible

I'm glad he's back .. and glad he's not playing us tomorrow night

His tackles stick and his disposal is near flawless. He's not flash, just goes about his business week in, week out. The definition of a quiet achiever. A contract renewal is a no-brainer. Sign him up

Trac is the best bet. Reckon he has 6 votes in the bag already so thats a big head start. Clarry wouldn't have polled against the Suns, not sure about the doggies game.

I'm delighted to see Shelley Heath named. She's the female equivalent of Nev Jetta. Tough as, hard at it defender. Doesn't lose to many one on one's.

Gold Coast were very good at creating marking contests around the ground ensuring Max didn't have any easy marking opportunity. Of course he has taken strong contested marks before but credit to Gold Coast for negating easy opportunities. Dewy ball as well. No need at all to think his slow start might be indicative of a decline. He has 5 AA's. He'll be right

Some classic DL threads today

Sorry to have to tell you this D14 Your MFCSS is incurable

There’s a full season to play yet. Way too early to be speculating on who leaves

I'm putting this thread on ignore

I don't disagree with too many of their comments although I do wonder if they have seen us play this year. I don;t think we have been that impressive so far. Conceded an 8 goal run against the dogs and labored against the Suns. We are beatable with the right mindset although their greatest weakness (lack of forwards) offsets our weakness (loss of first choice defenders). Hopefully the supporters pessimism is shared by their team and they don't have the belief needed to turn us over
