I am worried about Parish racking up 40+ possessions and destroying us..... [End://sarcasm emoji]

The players in danger of being delisted at the end of the year would likely be MBrown, JMelksham, MHibberd, Basically anyone with an Essendon connection

My intel says that all is not right at Bomberland. There is a bit of turmoil behind the scenes with a push to get Hirdy back amongst other things (before he takes the GWS job..). Players unhappy about game plan etc

I don't think he was ever stop gap. He was the best kick in his draft according to Jason Taylor. Bailey Laurie was 2nd best Thats the reason they were selected

They'll bury it like everything else they deem 'distasteful'

I can't for the life of me understand why Weid doesn't try something like a glove on one hand? Maybe he has but plenty have used them including Mathew Lloyd and Travis Cloke etc His two grabbing is the biggest problem for mine. His kicking is shot because of confidence most likely but that can turn around reasonably quickly given his reasonable kicking technique 6 years and he has basically played one decent game. Something wrong here.

Would that make you feel better?

And against Richmond a few years ago from memory when Jordan McMahon kicked the winning goal after the siren......

26-7-1 since Glenn Bartlett sprayed the team after the Port loss

Greig was a winger was he not? Wanganeen won his Brownlow playing as an attacking defender...

This happens more often that we realise. I remember Clarkson shifting a defender behind the ball when we were 95 pts down against the Hawks a few years back . We all though the was being mean spirited and wanted to beat us by 100 points but I was told on good authority that he was getting his team to play various roles and match play scenarios. Against GC we were knackered with the heat. SO shutting the game down was a good option.

Take out. the Geelong final and tell us where he has had a meaningful impact. Bowey has had more impact in 9 games.

I assume our prep for this game will involve 6 hours of flying and sitting on the tarmac for 8 hours. Don't change a winning formula...

Anyone know what the players were celebrating today in their chanting circle? https://www.afl.com.au/video/725202/cerra-s-blues-dee-ruled-out-rankine-s-revival?videoId=725202&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1648011569001

And Tom Morris should sue his 'friend' for illegally recording him and ending his career.

They didn't goal in the 3rd qtr

Just catching up on some old news, Didn't Mick Malthouse predict the 2022 flag for the Bombers?? Bwah ah hahahahaha 🤣

Libba only attended 1 centre square bounce. Unusual given he was the no 1 clearance players last year. It seems that Smith has moved from Wing to centre and Libba may be on the outer a bit. He certainly got very little of the ball Maybe he was playing a defensive fwd role

The Dogs are in trouble. Their coach has lost it. Their club is leaking If their mids aren't on top they can't score Their defence is scratchy. Their fwds are not good without Bruce (Naughton excepted) When the Umps stop the free kick love fest they are cooked.

The rule was brought in to stop players charging front on into a player that was vulnerable - hands outstretched going for a mark. Fair enough. Smith turned to go for the ball - you could see he thought about going up for a spoil and then stopped himself. He was stationary when Weigtman barely brushed past him. He wasn't impeded or 'blocked' as you say. BS free every day of the week. Virtually every commentator agrees. You are out on the wrong limb here.

You're kidding with this surely? Lets have another rule No planting yourself in a threatening manner. FFS

The very first centre bounce of the GF Stef blocked Gawn who threw his arms out as if to say WTF?

Smith actually was stationary and Weightman made the slightest of contact with him. Appalling free

Based on limited information shown it seems there were vast difference in coaching styles Goodwin, tactical, well drilled, encouraging, reinforcing, calming and confident. Everything was about structures, discipline, energy and going back to what they had learned and what they knew had worked so well for them Bevo seems much less so of that and more emotional, John Northey style, encouragement. Less about structures and more about 'throw the ball around', 'take some uncontested marks' type instructions. Interesting too the complete confidence that Goodwin had in his team in the box to analyse and recommend tactical moves. As one who wasn't a Goodwin fan early on it shows a remarkable trusting management style that appears gets the best out of all the assistants
