Pennant St Dee

Cheers for the reports everyone much appreciated

Pretty sure he's currently in the Dogs rehab group with Toby McLean and a few others

Cheers for the training report LH

Needs to just find some composure JG when close to goal. He often has more time than he thinks, but rushes his kicks. When he does this he is often off balance, running at full pace when dropping the ball and his ball drop is high. A bit more composure to just slightly decelerate, when disposing the ball by foot. This is something IMO which should come with greater exposure at the highest level. But yes he brings plenty of other things others don't. Really think his link up play to move the ball quickly and break the lines is something special

He needs to do more when he gets the football, IMO he just lacks X factor. He works hard defensively inside forward 50 and applies pressure with tackles (which need to stick more). IMO he's just like 50 other players, nothing really stands out, which is needed at Kobe's size. So he needs to either build strength/power and become a pressure forward who causes chaos with turnovers or start to really hurt opponents on the scoreboard I basically think his skills are average and need to be pushing elite with his size

Why because he's the Wiz's kid Have you seen him play I have and there's a reason he wasn't drafted Long shot but sometimes fairytales become reality

Yep, must say we've been very lucky over here. Hate to think of the mental health implications with lockdown

Beyond the AFL, and I'm a Lib voter McGowan's border closures have been fantastic for those of us living in WA. We went hard early and have pretty much been living normal lives since May Kids missed 5 weeks of school (2 of which were school holidays) Work is pretty much back to normal with the main impact being the job keeper payments are making it hard to attract staff for some businesses Gyms, swimming pools etc all operating normally for several months Pubs restaurants etc functioning pretty normal Junior and Community sport all got seasons in and summer sports still continuing. I'm sure we will get a cluster, but for now very happy with how things are going Sorry but life goes beyond the AFL

Agreed and think Buddy would be struggling to have taken 6 pack marks in his career

He'll still have his 12 PSA games for Aquinas to play

Neil Erasmus is one to watch Chaser, another Sorrento Duncraig boy who had an outstanding Colts grand final for Subi. Won't play many games at Subi till late as he has PSA commitments at Hale

Welcome aboard Fraser

Welcome aboard Bailey

Welcome aboard Jake (JB)

I expext the Suns will be taking Will Phillips, Crows to take best available from Bruhn, Cook, Powell or Henry with Freo taking Chapman

Take note those who continue to bemoan our club sitting on their hands, based solely on the presumption that it hasn't been reported in the media.

Hope you're well OD and looking forward to the festive season with family

Not unexpected, as I said on the rumour only thread, fairly well known he'd applied for the Essendon position and who could blame him when the position was vacant and our FD was under review. As others have said 13 years is a long time and despite being maligned on here by posters (many of whom also question Taylor) I think he has performed well in his roll. Thanks for your service Josh

No sinking feelings are for those who still go on about 186, the PF loss in Perth and anything else that has gone wrong in the last 50 + years

I did the same with us taking them 2 First Round prediction based on club needs and available players 1. Essendon trade 6 & 7 to Crows take Logan McDonald 2. Dogs match bid take Ugle Hagan 3. Roos - Elijah Hollands 4. Swans - Grainger Barrass 5. Hawks -Will Phillips 6. Suns - Archie Perkins 7. Crows - Riley Tilthorpe 8. Power match Crows bid for Lachie Jones 9. Crows - Tanner Bruhn 10. Essendon- Zac Reid 11. Crows - Braden Cook 12. Sydney match GWS bid for Braden Campbell 13. GWS - Oliver Henry 14 North - Nick Cox 15. Freo - Heath Chapman 16. Pies match GWS bid for Reef Mcinness 17. GWS - Tom Powell 18. Pies - Jackson Callow 19. GWS - Finlay Mcrae 20. Tigers - Bailey Laurie 21. Dees - Tom Carroll 22. Dees - Conor Stone 23. GWS - Matt Allison 24. Saints - Nathan O'Driscoll Hoping DOWNIE lasts to our 3rd pick

No Pace is gone Never had freat endurance Desire is gone The Eagles don't get many calls wrong on when it's time

Agreed people would have watched anything during that time. Bad move IMO

With LJ resigning, Oliver not having moved to Carlton, Goodwin reaching the magical 9 wins to save himself and Matty Egan staying within the coaching structure we are due another rumour

Saad is worth what Carlton were willing to pay, that's not Essendon's fault. Let's not forget we managed to get pick 3 for Chip

Never doubted your intel ET. Shark Park is in dire meed of an upgrade
