the pressure of expectation is too much to bare that said, when we have been up and flying - vs bears - it's been glorrrious to watch

didn't see em last year when they finished 17th and were - save for their grand final on queen's birthday - pretty much awful all year?

don't forget jimmy toumpas! might as well add stevie armstrong in there too!!
if he stays he stays; if he goes he goes he's having a ripping year...as a half-back flanker even better year than last year...where it was a defensive wing and in turn that was better than the last time he played as a pure mid...nearly 5 seasons ago! he might come back and be the greatest inside midfielder essendon has had since jab watson...and i still doubt he'd be better than the combo of clayton oliver, christian petracca, and jack viney even playing as a half-back interceptor his defensive workrate can be mighty suspect
more definitely more andy than @binman, but listening to relentless anti-mfcss from the latter is somewhat...cathartic? wish i had anything close to the confidence! it's an absolute must listen when it goes live as a podcast - great work as always
if he does choose to leave as a free agent and picks the peptides - 🤮 - we simply MUST match and force a trade to get their 2023 first round pick no way can we let gus walk and only get a pick in the 15-20 range
you can shave about $400k off the rumoured per annum salary indicated by sumich, and even then it's STILL $2-300k a year more than we are offering i'm going to be shattered if / when he announces he wants to return to wa, as i think he's a generational talent if the rumours are true re his reasoning behind wanting to go 'home' are personal, so be it at this stage, however, he's an exciting, promising talent rather than the whole article
we've had a pretty bad spate of copping injuries early in the games this season it would seem that burgess isn't just good at managing injury and fitness but also brings a fair dose of luck with him
yep, heaps from our own club, viney is an obvious one
so we score 100 points, and have 110 scored against us, and people want to swap one of the three pillars of our backline out to send em forward? i don't understand the logic of doing so whatsoever
the money that has been talked about as being on offer from freo is - from a reasonable source - not even close to accurate it's still huge money for a 20 year old - over $800k a year - but not close to the rumoured $1.25m per annum over eight seasons
6: Oliver 5: ANB 4: Brayshaw 3: Fritsch 2: Gawn 1: Weideman
switched and changed i thought - petty when he was up the ground further and moving back i50, which was when i thought it got lost, with tomlinson and petty not getting the 'change over' right
without lever we really lacked leadership in the backline i don't know / understand what's happened to may, but since he copped that concussion vs freo / at entrocote he's been a shell of his former self on the one hand i thought petty was very good; on the other had 5 kicked on him frustrating game to watch as i thought it was completely played on their terms - fast, open, lots of ball movement it's not all doom and gloom - this season is crazy even and i think anyone from 2-10 is in with a chance if everything 'clicks' for them, but at the moment i think the cats are clear favourites which is annoying as all hell
Lovely lead and mark, good kick, absolutely pathetic in a contest or 1:1 situation
IN: Lever, Chandler, Brown OUT: Tomlinson, Melksham, Weideman
he IS from wa...you'd think both sides over there would be all over him like a rush given that they both could do with a tall forward
hahaha jeremy cameron
karl amon with an atrocious kick across goal
poor kicking at goal keeping footscray in it
wow, that ryan daniels article was typed with one hand on the keyboard and one on purple, wasn't it? pure fantasy and nothing to do with how they ACTUALLY get the trade done "we're going to keep all our players! and be able to pay jackson!! HUZZAH!!!"
nice rove by amw
