The Controversial Discussion about the Knee that needs to be had
Correct. I cannot remember a single player being knocked out and stretchered off after a hanger had been taken on them.

Maynard unscathed
Letting Collingwood do what they wanted with Langdon after the "Duck/Dinner" hype of the previous week was a disgrace. Also saw Weitering standing over Pickett last year trying to intimidate him with his size after they exchanged a few words. The only fella who turned up to support Pickett was Spargo who grabbed Pickett and steered him away. Players have gotta know their teammates aren't gonna let them to get publicly mugged by their opponents. Viney will always fly the flag but though tough he's also small. And when he does, usually against a larger opponent .... He gets no back up. Not good enough as a team.

Christian Petracca’s 2024 Season Ending Injuries
I disagree. May is hard but fair. If he was flyin' with his knees there'd be opposition dropping left right and centre.

Time for a Change….Don’t wait another 2 years…
Problem is our goal kicking is abhorrent more often than not.

Maynard unscathed
Yep ... And though he's tough as they come he aint big or scary.

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
And this is what bugs me the most. Essendon and Collingwood are celebrated on ANZAC day because no matter how bad either of them are going they put on a show usually. Us ... Nup, turn up our toes like the basket case we are. Oh .... And sick of all the BS coming from the club. Just STFU and play. Don't care what ya think ya gonna do. Just forken .... DO.

Ah Demonland post loss. Get tired of dissecting the game and then turn on each other. I've just dropped by to declare my disgust before bed as I prepare to face the clowns at work in the morning. But hey, done it most my life so I'll just chuckle, agree the Dees are a joke and move on. Gonna be in a world of pain when Tassie comes in. But hey, done that a few times before too eh. Chins up folks.

Reid Sling Tackle, Darcy Bump, Rising Star Wide Open
The AFL will come up with some BS propaganda for the Golden Boy. St.Kilda player already in a falling motion, Low impact , accidental football action , yadda yadda .... Here's a fine play on.

Whispering in the Umpires Ears
Been bangin' on about manipulation of outcomes by the corrupt AFL for ages. Fixturing, umpiring, goal review, MRP are all used to manipulate an outcome. The AFL follow the money and their "Umpire Coach" excuse was typically shonky AF. The sheeple call them conspiracy theories. I call 'em Spoiler Alerts.

If sport isn't entertainment .... Why do we watch? The AFL is fighting for the attention of the masses against all other forms of entertainment out there. And if you have contact with any kids these days you'll notice they have the attention spans of gnats. Then try keeping one amused through a Melbourne game.

Well 5 yrs from now when you're at Marvel among 20thousand other miserable people on a sunday arvo every week I'll remind you of my beef. Or maybe not cause they're losing my interest and when Gawn and co. retire and we inevitably fall off the cliff I'll be done. The game isn't what I loved anymore.

Aint that a fact. My beef is that we play dour, unattractive football every week. A few weeks ago we played the Cats in primetime and neither team kicked a goal in the second qtr. An advertisers nightmare. Meanwhile Essendon gets gifted multiple primetime games over the rest of the season. Coincidence ..... I think not. Anyway, we've got the best list of my time (tho' Danihers list was pretty good) and we're wasting the opportunity to expand the club by playing boring, unattractive, scrappy football. Goodwin needs to remember he's in the entertainment business. For the club to not just wither away we need to entertain "the mob". Get bums on seats, eyes on TVs, sponsors at the door and keep the Premiership generation kids attention. And ya don't do that by playing boring footy in primetime games, chocking in finals or embarrassing the club like they did last week.
