Get that Nietschke is gorn for the duration but a bit sad that Hore, Petty & Kolo can’t get beyond the indefinite tag.

No mention of AVB.

So it looks like the eight players they’ve taken up to Queensland are in quarantine apart from the rest of the team which makes sense.

I would suggest that when we play them this Sunday, there will be possibly nine different players in the team.

If Tomlinson’s kick was straight, we would have beaten Geelong and been well placed to get into the 8 if and when that game against the Bombers ever gets played.

Has there been any news on Tom McDonald’s eye injury?

In today’s paper, Petracca’s disposal efficiency for the game was 64% but I’m sure the commentators were attributing about half that to him. Where do they get their stats from?

With 9 changes to their lineup, I somehow doubt it. They might sneak through this week because they’re playing the Swans.

The Sidebottom story ain’t nothing compared to the news about to go down about another one of their stars.

We’re underdone with five players coming in with two of them playing for the first time in over a year. Essendon showed how shaky they were after a 15 day break and for their accuracy kept them in the game. Can we really expect Melbourne to kick straight when our key forward has kicked 1.6 for the season?

They always do against us.

This is outrageous. Of the first six rounds, only one home game - assuming we stay up north for another week, that would make it 1 out of 7. As a bottom six finisher last year, we should be expecting 9 home and 8 away games. If the club doesn’t demand that then it will struggle for members going forward. Weak as ...

Spencer would be the dominant ruckman in the competition.

This.

Has Jones done enough to earn a recall?

Carlton tearing the Cats a new one. Shows how great we were last week.

The problem is that we’re now behind the eight ball as far as our preparation for our next game is concerned. No compensation for that and later in the season we’re going to potentially have a crowded fixture.

Essendon Trifecta Thymosin Beta-4, AOD9064 and Covid McKenna.

Positive: undefeated in 13 weeks!!!

Never. Points should be awarded to MFC.

I think he signed up with an interstate club at the end of last season.

The weather will definitely be a factor on Sunday.

He’s been watching Melbourne’s forward line too much.
