Chook

Very excited to see what Wiedo can do tonight. Will he play Brown's role, or TMacs with TMac playing Brown's instead?

Sorry folks - I've given this one a miss. Everyone I was going to go with bailed, and then I had to work an 11 hour day, and have to back up to watch the women tomorrow. Gonna watch this one from the safety of my bed with some leftover carrot cake.

He's been ahead of Mitch Brown in the queue for years.

lol the giraffe English taking a screamer over Mr 1000 goals. How embarrassing for buddy!

Anyone else more and more impressed with Nathan Jones' special commentary every game he commentates. Quality analysis with no ego or head-wobble, nothing more nothing less.

That was a surprisingly honest response from him. Most coaches would say something about not taking our chances, but Goody was just flat "nah, we were in front - why score?" I liked it!

Probably the two other legit premiership contenders, and rightly so.

26 without a loss, 23 consecutive victories. Ugh Geelong.

This backs up my theory that Melbourne will walk in this premiership due to being the only side in the league with a competent defensive system.

Wow - a 2019 GF rematch!

Out: Hunt, Bedford In: Lever, Hibberd Sub: Jordon Hibberd is a very good matchup for Stringer, who is Essendon's only good player. If no Hibberd, then a straight Lever/Hunt swap.

6 - Petracca. Him, Bont, Cripps, and a few others are just playing a different game out there. 5 - Jackson. There's no one like him - he's what people think Naitanui is 4 - Bowey. Thank god we have him and his composure especially while Salem is injured 3 - Oliver. A workmanlike game from him. 2 - May. Held together our still makeshift backline. 1 - Neal-Bullen. Tried all night, and is increasingly making dependable, solid decisions with ball in hand.

Take it and move on

Hunt taking the pizz now, just handballing directly to Suns players.

Hunt truly plays like we've teleported someone from our 2018 team into our premiership side. You can see he's just not to the level.

lol hunt. Be more like Bowey my friend!

Gawn and Trac look grumpy AF.

Why is Hunt in this side?

95% of all Ed Langdon mistakes take place as he's doing [insert thing here] over the boundary line.

Funny how I like Ben getting frees more now than when he wore white and blue…truly baffling.

No way Hunt holds his spot next week.

Rivers might have re-tweaked his knee which is why Brayshaw was rushed back onto the ground.

For sure - what do we think of him - the conditions don't suit him and he's clearly playing a role, but jeez Wiedeman has a spot just crying out for him to stand up and take it.

Luke Jackson's hands there to get that to Petracca - it was so fast not even Trac was expecting it! Good for Pickett to get some reward for his off-the-ball defensive work.

I've got a way we can refer to Petracca that I bet no one has thought of - he's a bull!
