Coaches votes are laughable No rivers?? Wtf? Nick Martin?? Brad Scott as bad as his brother

Yes I though Bowey would get taken off. Kicking has gone off lately

I think you have taken a bit of licence there... Essendon aren't a top 4 side in reality. Agree with most other things you have said but Essendon's season to date was: 2 wins v West Coast (by 6p and 30p) 1 win v North Wins v St Kilda Richmond Adelaide, Dogs, Giants (when they were poor) and a decent win against Collingwood. Despite their easy draw their percentage was only 14th best in the league at 99.9% Nonetheless it was a test for us and its always brilliant to beat them

Goodwin and Melksham both addressed that separately saying we were previously poor but have trained with soapy footballs to improve. It showed

Its a great example of how our rules get bastardised over time. The front on rule has suffered the same fate. The sliding rule was brought in primarily because of Adam Goodes, who would slide in knees first to either a) a player already on the ground (the knees intended to damage the player) or b) a front on slide that was dangerous to an incoming player's legs Now, it is adjudicated as the Draper one was. Draper was on the ground and made a legitimate lunge to punch the ball to a team mate. Disco went to jump over him to get the ball but tangled his legs up (ironically how he got the name Disco) and in the process kneed Draper in the head. ANB often intentionally sees a player on the ground and feigns a trip over them to elicit a free, It's not good.

Yeah me too. My most hated team

Maaaaate really? Try last round in 2021 at Kardinia Park. Trailing by 44 pts with 8m to go in the 3rd qtr. Maxy wins it with a kick after the siren for the Dees to finish top of the ladder......

Thx for that

I havent got the time to work it out but my gut feel is that we have been then youngest side in every game bar 2 (North and maybe one other, hawthorn?).... Anyone know a quick way to work that out?

What an insane take

Well even the club tried to get rid of ANB and TMac a few years back.......

Tradesman like performance

Kozzie Rivers Langdon McVee JVR May

Well we found out that Goodwin has a plan B, we can play in the wet and our contest game is still one of the best in the game. Kozzie, Riv and Langdon were simply superb. Roo was great, Windsor, McVee and even Tholstrup were relentless and provided spark and excitement as did AMW Disco is a great kick, TMac is solid and Melk is just a brilliant competitor. Oliver started to show glimpses of his old self and Nibbler shut down their Captain. May was back to being a rock We are forming a strong belief at the right time of the season and despite Gawn and Petracca, are relatively healthy. A tough few weeks ahead but we are in with a shot.

Bowen's kicking has turned to [censored]
